The Greenback School Lady Cherokees (12-6, 4-1 District 2-1A) are one step closer to competing for the District 2-1A championship following a 52-19 win Monday over the Jellico High School Lady Blue Devils.
The teams went back and forth in the first quarter, but a 13-2 run in the second sparked the Lady Cherokees’ offense.
