Greene Devils roll past Fulton in first round playoff matchup

The Greene Devils continued their dominant ways Friday night, battling through some adversity and advancing to the second round of the Class 4A postseason with a 56-28 win over Fulton. “Anytime you can get a big win in the playoffs (it’s good). (Fulton is) really athletic, have a lot of speed, hats off to them, they played really well. We’ve not seen that speed all year,” said Greeneville head coach Eddie Spradlen. “We probably didn’t play our best half in the first half, but the kids responded and played really hard for four quarters, really proud of our effort.” Mr. Football semifinalist Taren Claridy turned in another explosive performance for the Greene Devils offensively. Claridy hauled in six passes for 211 yards and two touchdowns. However, Claridy left Burley Stadium wanting more out of himself and his team as they progress throughout the postseason. “I feel like we need to up our energy a lot next week if we want to go into round three,” he said. Quarterback Kaine Ricker made a claim for a Mr. Football semifinalist nod as well this season, and proved Friday why he should’ve joined Claridy in that honor. Ricker completed 12 of 14 passes

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
