Sixteen swimmers represented Sevier Aquatic Club in the recent USA Swimming Southeastern District Championships held at McCallie School in Chattanooga.

With the recent hiring of new head football coach Ken Karcher and a big building project, The King’s Academy has signaled what could be a dramatic change for the K-12 private school in Seymour.

This past June, two friends and film school graduates from Sevierville — Drew Simms and Jeff Brown — with travel mates Jani Taljaard and Daniel Delph, set off for a walk in the woods.

And 2,184 miles later, the pair — without Taljaard and Delph, who ventured out on their own at different points on the trail — completed the greatest journey of their lifetimes.

Joy Lynn Lyon, a senior at The King’s Academy, competed in the Southern Powerlifting Federation Record Breakers Meet earlier this month at the Glenstone Lodge in Gatlinburg.

Sevier County High School’s swim team splashed over Anderson County by the final score of 158-25 in a recent meet.
