PHOTO GALLERY: Top-ranked Tornadoes roar past Chiefs

ALCOA — Defending state champion and top-ranked Alcoa got a pair of touchdowns from Mr. Football semifinalist Micah Jones and tacked on five more by five different players en route to a 49-3 win over Cherokee in the first round of the TSSAA Class 4A football playoffs on Friday, Nov. 6 at Bill Bailey Stadium. It was the 56th straight postseason victory for Alcoa (11-0), which improved to 146-15 in the playoffs. The Tornadoes haven’t lost a first-round playoff game since 1996. It was the third straight playoff appearance for Cherokee, which ends its season at 6-5. “I’m proud of our guys. We didn’t back down. We did it with the right mentality. I thought our offense and defense got after it as best they could,” said Cherokee coach Josh Hensley. “I was proud of their togetherness. Even when adversity hit, we stayed locked in and kept fighting.” Cherokee knew the assignment was daunting when it drew Region 1’s short straw and the accompanying trip to Alcoa for a second straight year. The Tornadoes defeated the Chiefs 56-0 in the storm-shortened first meeting between the schools last November. But Hensley knew his team wouldn’t shy away from the challenge. “I

Blount County Animal Center Dog of the Week: Blu

Over in Blount County, a family was putting together their Thanksgiving Day table. They had the tablecloth, candles, place settings, and of course, the main centerpiece, the cornucopia. Stuffed with apples, pears, grapes, and flowers, it sat right in the middle of the table. Suddenly, it started to rock back and forth, and a few apples toppled out of it. As the family leaned in closer to get a look, a tiny, furry paw shot out of the horn, accompanied by a strange panting. The smell of Fritos enveloped the room as the cutest little face burst out. “Hi! I’m Blu, and I’m thankful for food!” Blu cried. Blu decided to help the family plan out their Thanksgiving meal. “I think we’ll start with some bacon-wrapped bacon, then some bacon and green beans, sans green beans. For our main course, I think it should be turkey. Can we stuff it with bacon?” Blu asked. When the dinner was ready, everyone went around the table to say what they were thankful for. When it was Blu’s turn, he thought long and hard. He was certainly thankful for a lot of things, like toys and treats, but what he really wanted was
