ROGERSVILLE — Jayden Weston broke free for a 44-yard touchdown run with 4:09 left to play and the Chiefs’ defense came up big to lift Cherokee past Northview Academy 35-28 on Friday night and into the Region 1-4A football playoffs for the third straight season. “Hats off to the seniors to finish up the season on a win in Big Red Valley in front of their family on a night we celebrated them,” said Cherokee coach Josh Hensley. “Getting to the playoffs is a privilege, and I’m super proud of these guys. I’m blessed to be their coach and blessed to call them mine. I can’t say enough about who they are and what they stand for.” With the win, the Chiefs (6-4) earned Region 1’s No. 4 seed and a return trip to Alcoa for the opening round of the TSSAA Class 4A football playoffs. The top-ranked Tornadoes (10-0) defeated the Chiefs 56-0 a year ago en route to their 11th straight state championship. “This game meant a lot for the region. We called it the Alcoa Bowl and made it about wanting to go run into that fire. Let’s go do it. I will put the jacket on
