Eighteen kids ages 8-15 participated in the NFL style competition that included punting, passing and kicking a football for distance and accuracy.

Youth were divided into age groups for the competition. Six of these young athletes who placed first in their age groups will advance to the sectional competition in October.

Advancing to the sectional finals in the Girls Ages 8-9 category is Madison Rios, in the Ages 10-11 Girls, Ashli Gareau.

In the Boys Ages 8-9 category is Kyle Bradley, Ages 10-11 is Ryan Sailee, Ages 12-13 is Aaron Rhodes and Ages 14-15 is Donovan Lakin. All of the participants are from Clarksville.

Cogratulations to these young athletes for their accomplishments and best of luck at the sectional competition.

Dog Days at Downtown Market

Downtown Market patrons get the chance to experience a different theme each week at the market. Next Saturday, perhaps the most popular theme will return. Dog Days is back at the Downtown Market. The Clarksville- Montgomery County Humane Society will be at the market providing tons of fun for you and your canine companions.

Italian Ice for dogs and a bobbing for balls game are a couple of the fun things planned. A professional photographer will also be on hand to take pictures of you and your dog. They ask that you make a $10 donation to benefit the Clarksville- Montgomery County Humane Society in exchange for a 5×7 photo of you and your pet compliments of PictureYourPhoto.com. Total Canine Care will also be a guest vendor at the market.

Niki Crowe the manager of the New Downtown Market invites you to come and pay them a visit!
