Westview’s Reinhart
too much for Ripley

Ripley wasn’t much of a match for Adam Reinhart, much less the entire Westview team.
Reinhart scored five goals as the Chargers blanked Ripley 9-0 in boys’ soccer action this week.
Abraham Haddad, Cameron Cates, Cal Bradshaw and Dominic Fabianich all scored a goal each.
Scout Edwards, meanwhile, had five saves for Westview.
The Chargers improve to 3-1-1.

UTM’s Sleigh lauded
as OVC’s top golfer

Graham Sleigh, a senior at the University of Tennessee at Martin, was named the adidas Ohio Valley Conference Male Golfer of the Week for his effort in the 16th annual Arkansas State Red Wolf Intercollegiate.
Sleigh tied for first in a field of 121 players at three-round tournament played earlier this week at RidgePoint Country Club in Jonesboro, Ark.
The Clarksville native carded rounds of 73-70-66 to finish at 209 (-4) and tie with two other golfers. His third-round, 5-under par 66 put him in a playoff with three other golfers, one from Arkansas State and two from Vanderbilt.
The UT Martin golfers return to action Monday and Tuesday in the Grub Mart Classic hosted by Jacksonville State.

SIU-E hoops earn
sportsmanship award
