The DCHS Lady Tigers competed in the Division IAA State Golf Tournament last week at the Sevierville Golf Club and finished in 6th place, 24 strokes behind 1st place Page High School and 35 strokes better than their 2023 performance. The overall record for the year was 40-6.

Chloe Boyd, a sophomore, finished in 4th place with an outstanding performance of 71,74. Boyd’s goal was to finish in the top 10 after a tie for 33rd last year.

“The sky is the limit for Chloe”, said Coach John Pryor. “She is very talented, works hard, is goal driven, and an outstanding young lady”.

Alison Poss, a senior, finished an incredible high school career with a 39th place finish. “Alison has been so great for four years. Her first round was not up to her standard, but she finished her career with a strong 82, carding a birdie on her last hole. I will miss Alison, her four years came and went in a flash,” said Coach Pryor.

Emily Anderson, a junior, finished tied for 44th. Coach Pryor said “Emily works so hard and continues to improve. She always has a great attitude, and I love to watch her compete. I have big expectations for her senior year”.

An argument between a woman and man resulted in a stabbing at a residence in Dowelltown Friday.

43-year-old Christie Dawn Bouldin of Sparta is charged with aggravated assault. Her bond is $65,000 and she will be in court October 24.

Chief Deputy Brian Williams of the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department said that on October 11 deputies responded to South Mill Street for a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers spoke to the victim (a man) who had numerous stab wounds on his upper body and head. According to the victim, Bouldin had stabbed him several times with a tire punch. The man suffered severe injuries and he was life flighted.  Bouldin then fled the scene but was taken into custody Saturday morning.

According to the report, the deputies made contact with the victim who had an abundance of blood coming from his head area. The officers asked the victim what happened. He stated that he and Bouldin were in a bedroom when she began arguing with him. He said she knocked him down, jumped on top of him and stabbed him all over with a tire punch. The man said Bouldin then ran out the front door. The victim then went to a neighbor’s home where they called 911.
