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

‘My Mayfly’ Comes Home to East Tennessee for World Premiere at Film Fest Knox

My Mayfly, the first feature film from writer-director Paula Kay Hornick, will celebrate its world premiere at Film Fest Knox on Saturday, November 14, at 9:15 p.m. at Regal Riviera, Theater 2, 510 S.

Patriot Legacies: Barclay McGhee an early explorer, landowner

Barclay McGhee was born Aug. 15, 1760. He was likely the son of Robert McGhee (1759-1819). As a young man, he lived in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. He would have been about 15 years old when the Revolutionary War began in 1775. Few records have been found documenting his possible military service. One record indicates he participated in an expedition in the Ohio River Valley. His name appears on the “Pay Roll of Captain Joseph Ogles Campanie of Ohio Militia on the Expedition to Coshockton for 19 days.” The expedition was documented around April 19, 1781. McGhee would have been 20 at the time. The company consisted of about 40 men on horseback. The men, including McGhee, appear to have been paid about $10 each for the expedition. McGhee was listed as a private. At some point, Barclay McGhee married Jane McClanahan (1767-1835). Jane was the daughter of surveyor Charles McClung, who prepared the original plats of Knoxville in 1790. She was the granddaughter of James White, considered the founder of Knoxville. Barclay McGhee was likely wealthy when he arrived in the area. He added to his wealth through extensive landholdings in Monroe County. According to a 1976 article in
