2025 football CAREacter Star athletes named
Football players from Anderson County, Clinton and Oak Ridge high schools were named CAREacter Star athletes.
The CAREacter Star Athlete Program is based on a five-point star system that includes the basic traits of a true champion, whether on or off the field.
Those traits are attitude, character, grades, community service and performance.
“In the world of athletics today, more emphasis is placed on the spirit of competition, rivalries and winning and less on the important traits of character, values and leadership,” says longtime Knox County coach Dave Moore, who started the CAREacter Star Athlete Program in 2005.
“It is our responsibility to encourage our student athletes to succeed not only at the athletic skill level, but more importantly, at the game of life.”
The Anderson County High School players included: Reese Russell, Mason Mcmillan, Karnell Mills, Eli Tolley and EvanPyatt.
Clinton High School player include: Jaxon Herrell, Bryson Maddox, Ryin Jones, Konner Baylis and Ryker Armes.
