New street named for Farragut coach Eddie Courtney

On Wednesday, July 10, at 10:30 a.m. retired Farragut coach Eddie Courtney was surprised by a dedication ceremony at Farragut High School. Yes, he received the honorary plaque but for this dedication, Coach Courtney received a more lasting tribute to honor his lasting impact on the community.

The road that connects FHS to Campbell Station Road is now named in honor of Coach Courtney as Eddie Courtney Lane.

Jack Tate, sports film studies teacher & sports information director for FHS, sent a collage of pictures from the community-attended event.
