J.B. Calton
Junior / Football

John Byron Calton or "J.B." is a junior at BHS and a member of the football team. Playing strong safety and on punt return, J.B. uses his speed to excel on the playing field. Once a baseball player too, J.B. was forced to give up the sport due to injury.

Two coaches have made a difference to J.B. Coach Crawford “is a great coach who knows what he is doing and he does to see us get better. The things he says motivates me and the team. He is also a great friend.”

Coach Winfree “is a hard coach as he will get in your grill, but he pushes me and pushes me because he knows I can do it. I really appreciate it as it has made me a better player.”

An interesting fact about J.B. is that his true passions are snowboarding and wakeboarding. Wakeboarding at Percy Priest or Tims Ford lakes is something J.B. loves to do on weekends and in the summer.

J.B. would like to study pharmacy or pre-medicine in college. His goal is to go to college in Colorado so that he can snowboard in the winter and wakeboard in the summer.

His parents are John Calton and Teresa Sexton. Sister Victoria is a freshman at UT-Knoxville.

Sara Kleine-Kracht
Freshman / Golf

Sara Kleine-Kracht is a freshman at BHS and is a member of the golf team. Having played since she was in the 5th grade, it was no surprise that she qualified for state this year as a freshman. Sara plays at Brentwood Country Club and also at the Nashville Golf & Athletic Club.

Crediting Coach Higgins with helping her game, Sara shares that “Coach is encouraging and positive when helping me with how I am playing. When I qualified for state, my coach and team were so happy for me.”

When not playing golf Sara, is involved with Lifeteen, a youth group at Holy Family Catholic Church and is a member of the Habitat for Humanity at Brentwood High.

Although college is still four years off, Sara is already looking ahead to playing golf in college. Big brother Paul currently plays golf for Lipscomb University.

Joe Welbourn
Sophomore / Football, rugby

Joseph "Joe" Welbourn is a sophomore at RHS and is a member of the football team. He plays defensive tackle and felt he played his best game of the season against Centennial.

Having a love/hate relationship with Coach Smith, Joe credits him for “pushing me and making me a better player. Even though he knows I will hate him for pushing me, he still does it.”

Joe is also an outstanding rugby player and has aspirations to play at the collegiate level. Thinking ahead Joe feels that there is a great chance he will be recruited.

Colleges in the Northeast have the strongest rugby programs so that is where Joe will be applying. He would like to major in business.

A fun fact about Joe is that he is the "baby" in a family of seven children. Proud parents are Joan and Steve Welbourn.

Lindsey Todd
Sophomore / Soccer

Lindsey Grace Todd or "LT" is a sophomore at RHS and a member of the soccer team. As the goalie, her claim to fame came in the Brentwood game when she blocked goals to help her team win during penalty kicks. The final score for the PK shootout was 4-1.

In addition to playing soccer at Ravenwood, LT also plays for the Brentwood Soccer Club. A leader on and off the field, she also is a member of Student Council.

LT’s club coach Kyle Roelke has helped her with being a better goalie, and at school Ken White has been a great coach to play for, she said. Aaron Howard is LT’s sports trainer who helps get her ready for games.

Her goal is to play Division I soccer in college, and LT hopes one day to be a soccer coach herself. In addition, she is hoping to study broadcast journalism.

Parker Brown
Junior / Football, track and field

Thomas "Parker" Brown is a junior at BA and a member of the football team. A free safety, he has been playing the game since he was in sixth grade. In addition to football, Parker runs track and plays church basketball.

The coach who most inspires him is Coach Redmond as “He is a great motivator and encourager. He really cares about everyone.”

Although Parker has not decided where he will go to college, he is clear about what he would like to study. Parker wants to be an orthodontist and will be looking at colleges that offer strong programs in dentistry.

A fun fact about Parker is that he is one of 16 grandchildren on his dad’s side of the family.

His parents are Hoffman and Jamie Brown. Siblings include Bailey, Luke, Emerson and Corinne.

Faith Whatley
Junior / Cross country, swimming, track

Faith Whatley is a junior at BA and runs cross country. In the spring Faith runs track and this year plans to join the swim team too. In addition to sports she is a member of FCA, on the math team, leadership team at church and plays the flute.

If there was one coach who has inspired Faith it would be Coach Cheeseman. “Coach has had a huge impact on me because her running and training strategies work so well. My freshman season was mediocre because I didn’t give my best effort, but sophomore year I 'drank the Kool Aid’ and started doing things her way. She honestly cares about all of us and I hope my races reflect that,” Faith said.

With plans of studying pre-med, Faith is beginning to look at colleges. Vanderbilt, Harvard and the University of Michigan are on her short list.

A fun or not-so-fun fact about Faith is that she was almost decapitated as a child on an old piece of playground equipment. Another fact a little more fun, is that she can pick locks and can do puzzles upside down, inside out.

Her parents are Jim and Luci Whatley.
