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

Hensley is back at Carter Fold this Saturday night

HILTONS, Va. — The Carter Family Fold is back in action after a week off for Halloween, and will welcome Trey Hensley & His Bluegrass Band back to the historic venue this Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Trey Hensley is a Grammy-winning guitarist, singer, and songwriter from Johnson City, Tennessee, whose musical journey has been intertwined with the Carter Family Fold since childhood. A true prodigy, Trey first stepped onto the Grand Ole Opry stage at just eleven years old, performing alongside Marty Stuart and Earl Scruggs. Not long after, he met Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash at the Fold, where he performed with members of the Carter Family and later played at June Carter Cash’s birthday celebration—an early milestone that helped shape his lifelong connection to traditional music. Raised in nearby Telford, Trey began singing gospel at age six before discovering bluegrass guitar, quickly developing the fiery flatpicking style that would become his signature. His early career included several acclaimed bluegrass recordings with his band Drivin’ Force, produced with guidance from Tom T. Hall. Over the years, Trey has shared the stage with icons including Ricky Skaggs, Charlie Daniels, The Oak Ridge Boys, J.D. Crowe, Peter Frampton, and
