Golden Anniversary
By Morgan Jowers
“Glory, Glory to Sumter”
echoed in the Coosa
Valley Academy gym this
weekend as the Sumter
Academy Junior Varsity
Boys team took home
their first State
Championship. Team
Members Blake Jowers,
Blaine Winsett, Nathan
Williamson, Lane Duke,
Tyler Haney, Drew
Busby, Cullen Bailey,
Clay Truelove,
Christopher Spencer,
Clay Collins, Zane
Thrash, Anderson
Newman, Zach Fleming,
Shannon Bedwell and J.
P. Booker could hardly
contain their excitement
as the final buzzer went
off late Saturday night,
signifying their win.
The AISA 1A State
Invitational Tournament
was held at Coosa Valley
Academy, located in
Harpersville, Alabama.
With a 6 win, 3 loss
season behind them, the
Sumter boys were a bit
nervous about the game.
“I don’t think I slept at all
before the game,”
laughed Coach Larry
Jowers. His lost sleep
was well worth seeing his
players win the
championship as well as
a few extra titles (All-
Tournament Team: Blake
Jowers, Blaine Winsett.
Tournament MVP:
Nathan Williamson).
