Encore Medical Group has made an application with Town of Farragut, and the Town performed a courtesy inspection of the 11416 Grigsby Chapel Road site Tuesday, Feb. 6. Contractor Gary Davis of the Cleveland area is listed on the Building In- spection Report and confi rmed he is the contractor on the project. Davis said he is working with Encore Medical Group, but does not have a time frame when his work will be completed. There has been some discussion within the community about the type of clinical services that will be provided at the location. Farragut Town Administrator David Smoak discussed the issue during the recent monthly meeting of Farragut Economic Development Advisory Committee, when a citizen attendee asked if he had heard of “a pain clinic that might be going in” at that site. “If it is, then it will be up to the Knox County Health Department and See NEW CLINIC on Page 6A

LENOIR CITY — Bearden High School’s girls basketball team culminated an improbable run with a District 4-AAA championship Monday night. The Lady Bulldogs played what may very well have been their best defensive game of the season. Defensive netted BHS a 51-25 victory over Maryville and a district title at Lenoir City High School Feb 19. The victory was Bearden’s 11th consecutive win and 12th over a district foe after the Lady Bulldogs dropped three of their fi rst four district contests to open the league campaign. “I’m just so proud of these girls,” Bearden head coach Justin Underwood said after his squad surrendered just FMS girls claim 2nd straight four second-half points to the fourth-seeded Lady Reb- Knox tourney championship els, who advanced to Mon- day’s championship game Underwood KEN LAY Thomas L.
