The JV Braves (3-1) have won their last two games in dramatic fashion so it should come as no surprise that they got their first loss of the year in an overly dramatic fashion – in four overtimes!

The Cherokee Runners gathered for a group run on Saturday, Sept. 20.

Cherokee (2-3) pulled to within one game of .500 on the season with a 30-19 win at Brevard on Friday, Sept. 19. Cherokee never trailed in the game and caused four Brevard turnovers to take the key victory on the road.

Posting the lowest team score in the six-year history of Lady Braves golf, Cherokee took all three spots on the podium at the Donald Ross-designed, Carolina course at the Waynesville Inn match against the Highlands Lady Highlanders on Monday, Sept. 15.

The JV Braves (3-0) have a flair for the dramatic. For the second week in a row, they sealed the game with less than two minutes left.

Brandon Buchanan, Braves quarterback, amassed a total of 338 yards of total offense during a rainy Thursday night game against Rabun Gap (Ga.) at Ray Kinsland Stadium on Sept. 10. Overall, the Braves had 360 yards of total offense, but it was not quite enough as they fell to the Eagles 41-26.

There were two lead changes, two touchdowns, an interception and a fumble all in the final two minutes of the game as the Cherokee JV Braves (2-0) hosted Robbinsville at Ray Kinsland Stadium on Wednesday, Sept. 10. Isaiah Evans, JV Braves running back, caught a Tye Mintz pass and took it 39 yards to the house for the game-winning score with 36 seconds left in the game to give the Braves a 32-28 win.

The Lady Braves golf team traveled to the 2,594 yard par-36 Highlands Country Club for a match against the Highlands Highlanders on Tuesday, Sept. 9. The six-lady team was led by Perri Wildcatt who shot a 56 and Blake Wachacha (60).
