Cracker Bowl Champs!

Franklin – It was a nailbiter, but Robbinsville got the job done.

Don't step to Robbinsville

Cherokee – A pair of touchdowns on kickoff returns padded another dominant night of Black Knights football. Fresh off a bye week, Robbinsville (8-0, 3-0) traveled to Cherokee (2-7, 1-3) for the resumption of Smoky Mountain Conference play Friday night.

Let the good times roll

Robbinsville – For the second-straight week, the Lady Knights sit atop the 1A rankings. Robbinsville (14-1) mowed down Cherokee (2-12) in a 25-12, 25-17, 25-19 road sweep on Sept. 26, before defeating Hayesville (11-6) in a 25-13, 25-12, 25-15 home victory on Tuesday’s special Pink Night.

Everybody wants to be Cherokee. Most of the white families I knew in Mississippi claimed some degree of Native blood – usually Cherokee – and nearly always through a great-grandmother.

Robbinsville – Corridor K may eventually happen, but it will not be the one that was imagined some 50 years ago, when discussions to build it first began. The beginning of construction on the project was recently moved up to 2026.
