Colts Epitomize Excellence in Monday Night Romp
Published on October 22, 2007 at 10:06PM
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-Peyton Manning completed 23 of 37 passes for 259 yards, a touchdown and an interception as the Indianapolis Colts steamrolled the Jacksonville Jaguars, 29-7 Monday evening at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. Early on, the Colts seized momentum as rushing touchdowns by Manning and rookie tailback Kenton Keith and a 36-yard field goal by Adam Vinatieri gave Indianapolis a commanding 17-0 lead at intermission. To compound matters for the Jaguars, QB David Garrard (6-10, 62 yards) was lost for the game with an ankle injury in the second quarter and from that time on, reserve signal-caller Quinn Gray was unable to move the ball consistently against a stout Colts defense. Indianapolis sealed the game when DE Dwight Freeney sacked Gray in the end zone for a safety which gave the Colts a 19-7 lead. While Indianapolis receives numerous plaudits for their offensive prowess, head coach Tony Dungy’s defense was also impressive as they surrendered only 226 offensive yards to the punchless Jaguars. Next week, Indianapolis returns to the southeast as they battle the Carolina Panthers, while the 4-2 Jaguars face a tough matchup in fellow Floridian foe Tampa Bay.

Lost hunter found on West Mountain
Published on October 22, 2007 at 10:47AM
(ELSINORE) – The Sevier County Search and Rescue South Posse was called out Saturday night to look for an overdue hunter. At about 8:30pm, the posse began the search for 27-year old, Burkley Johnson of Elsinore, who was hunting on West Mountain above Elsinore. According to a sheriff’s report, Johnson was not able to get back to his four wheeler before it became dark and got lost in the attempt. He was able to use his cell phone for a while but the charge ran low. Just after midnite, posse crews and Johnson’s two friends found him in good condition at his four wheeler.
