ALCOA 24, SEQUATCHIE COUNTY 0

The star: Alcoa’s Tykee Kellogg ran for 66 yards and a TD and caught two passes for 18 yards.Up next: The Tornadoes will play Liberty Magnet for the Class 3A state championship.

DUNLAP, Tenn. – Alcoa was in unfamiliar territory Friday, but the Tornadoes ignored the trappings that are Sequatchie County and now will move to more familiar surroundings.

They’ll be shooting for the school’s 15th state football championship next Friday in Cookeville after shutting down host Sequatchie and ending the Indians’ win streak at 13. Alcoa won 24-0.

It wasn’t the performance Sequatchie players or fans, who were four- and five-deep along the fence, wanted, but this season surpasses any of those that preceded the 2016 Indians.

“I love these guys, and the last 19-20 weeks I’ve had the time of my life,” Sequatchie coach Adam Caine said. “They’re a bunch of awesome kids and they’re winners. They put this town and this school back on the map, and I can’t begin to tell them how much I appreciate the ride they took me on.”
