PHOTO GALLERY: Greene Devils roll despite record-breaking night at Cherokee
ROGERSVILLE — The Greeneville Greene Devils lived up to their reputation as one of the state’s top teams Friday night, coming away with a 63-13 Region 1-4A win over Cherokee at Mike Sivert Field. The Chiefs stayed close for a few minutes, but they couldn’t slow down the high-powered Greene Devils’ offense. The home fans did get to see history made when senior Jayden Weston broke the career rushing record of 2,752 yards previously held by Travis Carpenter. Weston broke the record in the fourth quarter. “I thought that Jayden and the offensive line did well getting in a position to get the record for him tonight. Jayden’s worked really hard and did it the right way,” said Cherokee coach Josh Hensley. It didn’t take the visitors long to get on the board. On the second play from scrimmage, Jude Dyer ran around the left end for a 30-yard score. Gannon Cogdell made his first of nine successful PATs. The Chiefs answered right back, when Cade Putnal found Branson Mowell for a 74-yard touchdown. Mowell high-jumped and won the battle with a Greeneville defender to make the catch. Colton Engle made the PAT to make the score 7-7 with less

PHOTO GALLERY: RCS' Webb finishes seventh at state
CLARKSVILLE — Rogersville City School’s Madeline Webb went into Saturday’s TMSAA Class A Girls Cross Country State Championships seeded No. 27. She left with a medal around her neck and an all-state podium finish. The RCS eighth grader and team captain trimmed 32 seconds off her personal record (PR) to cover the two-mile course at Weakley Park in 13:09.37 to finish seventh in the state. Providence Academy, led by individual state champion Rose Holland, placed four runners in the top 10 to cruise to the Class A girls team title with 36 points. Ridgeview (68) finished as the state runner-up. University School of Johnson City (116) finished fourth and RCS (177) seventh among the 10 qualifiers in the team standings. Due to fall break conflicts, the Lady Warriors were without two of their top five runners. Holland won with a time of 12:18.98. Also on the podium for the Class A girls were state runner-up Ali Webster, McEwen; Lyla Goodrich (3rd) and Hadley Cowart (4th), Providence Academy; Jane Farrell (5th), CSLA; Lily Ball (6th), Newport Grammar; Madeline Webb (7th), RCS; and Carolina Barker (8th), Houston County. “I think I could have done a little bit better on the last stretch,”

PHOTO GALLERY: Cougars take wild win over Falcons
CHURCH HILL — Five lead changes and 46 total points, including a scoop and score. And that was just in the fourth quarter. After Northview Academy and Volunteer played the first half to a scoreless tie, things got wet — courtesy of a downpour just before the second half — and then wild in the fourth period. By the time the final whistle sounded, the Cougars were walking back to the visitors’ locker room holding a 32-30 win over Volunteer in a crucial Region 1-4A contest. Northview (4-3, 2-2) sits fourth in the region with this result, with the top four teams in the final standings securing postseason berths. Volunteer (3-3, 1-3), by contrast, has lost three in a row, all in league play. To say the Falcons face an uphill chore to reach the postseason at this point would be an understatement. “It’s really a tough battle now because somewhere along the line, you have to, I think we’d have to upset Greeneville,” said Volunteer interim head coach Mike Castle, who was leading the team while head coach Jeremy Wagner served a one-game suspension. Some big plays on defense and special teams helped Volunteer keep the game scoreless in
