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.

Tired of high gas prices?

Well there’s nothing you can do about it, but at least Friday night’s football games are all close to home as Roane County fans should have less than a 30 minute drive to see their favorite team play.

This week’s schedule is full of area rivalry games with Harriman traveling to Wartburg, Oliver Springs hosting Coalfield, and Rockwood traveling to Kingston in this week’s showdown between county schools.

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.
