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

Cosby blasts Midway 48-8 for first-ever football playoff victory
COSBY — For the first 35 seasons of Cosby High School football, even when the Eagles found regular-season success, a playoff victory just wouldn’t come. Heading into this season, fourth-year head coach Levi Cooper and his team made it a stated goal to finally break through in the postseason. On Friday night, they did just that. Cosby, the No. 1 seed out of Region 1, blasted Midway, the No. 4 seed from Region 2, to the tune of a 48-8 final score in the first round of the TSSAA 1A state playoffs at Virgil Ball Stadium. In the process, the Eagles secured the program’s first-ever 10-win season, too. Next up is a second-round home game versus Whitwell, the No. 2 seed in Region 3. “I chased this thing as a player and I was a student here for 13 years,” Cooper said. “Just seeing the players who were there before me and guys who I played with here tonight and former coaches and this and that, it’s just a huge thing for our community. I’m glad we finally get to put it to bed and quit talking about it. “Now, we can just go focus on doing the things that
