    The Harriman Blue Devils took a trip up Highway 27 to try and put an offensive vex on the Wartburg Central Bulldogs. Apparently, the Devils had their voodoo in full effect as they put a spell on the Bulldogs to the tune of a 34-6 victory.

    "We started the game off strong, but I felt we were a little bit sloppy in the second half even though we pulled out the game. Wartburg kept coming at us and they played hard and gave us a good game." Harriman head coach Travis Tapp was quoted as saying in his post-game interview.

    But when it comes to his Cedar Grove Baptist Church congregation, Miller says many of its members are a lot more than just casual when it comes to their fondness of football.

    OAKDALE-Hollis Eble Field has seen its share of good times and bad times for the Oakdale football team over the years. For a whole half Friday night, Hollis Eble Field was the place for some happy Eagle fans. They were in a 14-14 deadlock with the 2007 Region 2-A Champion Midway Green Wave. However, during the next 12 minutes, Midway scored 27 straight points to pull away for a 41-21 win and avoid an upset to a vastly improved Oakdale team.

    The Cherokee Middle School Yellow Jackets improved to 3-0 in the district and 3-1 overall with a thrilling 28-22 three-overtime win at Rockwood.

    Cherokee had grabbed a 14-0 lead late in the second quarter, but Rockwood began its comeback with a last-second touchdown just before halftime.

    The Tigers tied the game at 14 with an early third-quarter TD, then the two teams then had to battle through three overtimes before Cherokee got the winning score on a 10-yard run from James Daley.

    By BROWNIE ROSE

    Roane Newspapers

    It really wasn’t the kind of a game in the first half that Midway head coach Craig Moser wanted to see, but after some halftime adjustments, Moser’s Green Waves sped past Oakdale 41-21 to pick up region win number one.

    Moser was happy to get out of Oakdale with the win especially after the two teams were tied at halftime 14-14.
