App State Update from Chancellor Dr. Heather Norris — Friday, October 30, 2026

This week, I had the opportunity to spend time at our Hickory campus with people whose perspectives both shape the campus and reflect its impact across the region. A gathering with Hickory-area business and community leaders offered time to discuss the partnerships we are building together to strengthen the region. At a student engagement luncheon, I appreciated hearing directly from our students about their experiences at App State and what matters most to their educational experience.

Tennessee high school WR, ETSU commit breaks state’s single-season TD record

Setting any sort of record in Tennessee's high school football scene is a big deal as that opportunity doesn't come often. For Greeneville (TN) senior receiver Taren Claridy, that opportunity came Friday night. In a 48-20 regular season-ending win over Elizabethton (TN) on Oct. 30, the future East Tennessee State Buccaneer set the individual state record for receiving touchdowns with 29 entering the postseason. Claridy finished the evening with three touchdown receptions, breaking the former record of 28 set by former Greenback (TN) standout Holden Willis in 2019. Taren Claridy has broken the TSSAA single-season TD reception with 29 on the year #FirstHorizon pic.twitter.com/JaHAhfu1r2 — GreeneSportsZone (@GSportsZone) October 31, 2026 Entering Friday night's contest, Claridy had 1,467 yards and 26 touchdowns on the year on only 57 receptions.

Fairly quiet in the first quarter against Elizabethton, Claridy got going in the second quarter, taking a 15-yard reception in for six to put the Greene Devils up 20-7. Already leading big in the fourth, Greeneville gave Claridy his opportunity to break the

Playoff berth on line Friday in Big Red Valley

CHURCH HILL — Cherokee will be playing for a trip to the TSSAA Class 4A football playoffs when it hosts Northview Academy on Friday night for senior night in Big Red Valley. The Chiefs’ win in the Battle of Hawkins County coupled with Seymour’s victory over Elizabethton on Friday night locked in the top three teams — albeit possibly in varying orders — to set the stage for the Class 4A football playoffs. Greeneville (9-0, 6-0) can claim the outright title by taking care of Elizabethton (6-3, 5-1) in the regular-season finale. Seymour (8-1, 5-1) needs only to dispatch of Grainger (2-7, 1-5) to claim the No. 2 seed and a home playoff game. In that scenario, the Cyclones would fall to the No. 3 seed and be on the road for the opening round of the playoffs. The only way that changes is if Elizabethton beats Greeneville AND Grainger beats Seymour. The fourth seed comes down to one game: Northview Academy (5-4, 3-3) at Cherokee (5-4, 3-3). Both teams have beaten Grainger, Sullivan East and Volunteer and lost to Greeneville, Seymour and Elizabethton. Their head-to-head matchup will decide who moves on. Cherokee is looking for its third straight trip
