    The Rockwood Tigers kept their hopes of earning an automatic berth to the TSSAA playoffs alive Thursday night with a 28-6 victory over Midway at Civitan Field.

    Rockwood entered Thursday's game against the Green Wave knowing victories in their final three games against Midway, Bledsoe County and Harriman would give them a shot at the No. 2 seed in District 3-A and an automatic postseason berth while a loss would leave the Tigers needing a wild-card spot.

    Call it improbable, call it unlikely, even call it putting a spell on Tellico Plains, but the Harriman Blue Devils knocked around the favored Tellico Plains Bears en route to a 17-13 win that should silence any doubters questioning whether this Blue Devil team is for real.

    The second half of the 2009 high school football season starts Friday night for Roane County's five football teams and it will be a big night for all five as every team from Roane County is involved in a district contest.

    Kingston has the toughest test of any of Roane County's teams as the Yellow Jackets host five-time defending state champion Alcoa in a District 4-AA contest.

    The Roane County team with perhaps the easiest task is Oliver Springs as the Bobcats host Jellico in a District 4-A match-up.

    After opening the season with four straight games decided by seven points or less, the Harriman Blue Devils finally had a breather Monday night as Travis Tapp's squad picked up a 33-0 victory over Jellico at Wallace Black Field.

    Harriman was dominant on both sides of the ball Monday as the Blue Devils amassed 404 yards of total offense on 61 plays while allowing Jellico only 46 total yards. About the only thing that stood between the Devils and a perfect night was three fumbles inside Jellico territory.

    It was student vs. teacher at Oliver Springs' D.J. Brittan Field Friday night and on this night the student came out on top as Wiley Brackett's Oliver Springs Bobcats topped Craig Moser's Midway Green Wave, 24-13.

    For Brackett, Friday's victory was special as he started his coaching career at Midway and he has a lot of respect for his friend and counterpart on Friday.

    Wide left!

    That's what fans of the Lenoir City Panthers will remember about their Thursday night trip to Kingston as the Panthers missed a field goal near the end of regulation that would have won the game and then the Panthers missed an extra point at the end of overtime that allowed Kingston to celebrate a homecoming victory, 14-13.

    Both kicks sailed wide left.

  • Harriman tops Greenback, 20-18

    By GOOSE LINDSAY

    Roane Newspapers

    When Greenback held an 18-14 lead and converted a short fourth down with three minutes left to play Thursday night at Harriman it looked like the only way the Devils would knock off the Cherokees was with a miracle. That miracle happened one play later as Harriman's Tyler Morris recovered a Greenback fumble that set the stage for a four-play, 15-yard scoring drive capped by a Dimitrique Inman two-yard run with 1:18 left to play to give the Devils a 20-18 victory.
