Athletes are always chasing rings and one member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) is chasing five in the form of the Olympic rings. 

I believe that all fan allowances should be based on a percentage of the venue capacity rather than a set amount for each event.  

Each and every game, she is a field general at point guard, but she does so without screaming or unneeded emotions. 

One question that keeps circulating is “why are we participating in athletics when we’re not attending school?”

Dvdaya Swimmer and Tyce Hogner both placed at the Smoky Mountain Conference middle school championship held at Kituwah on the afternoon of Wednesday, Jan. 13.

Jaylynne Esquivel, a member of the Cherokee High School cross country team, took second place in the girls race at the Smoky Mountain Conference championships held at Kituwah just outside of Cherokee on the afternoon of Wednesday, Jan. 6.  

Cherokee Middle School and High School played host to three other squads – Murphy, Swain Co., and Robbinsville – for meets on the sunny, but chilly, afternoon of Wednesday, Dec. 9.
