Chiefs Fall to Smith<br />
<strong>County</strong> in Sectionals<br />
Allen roberts<br />
The Sequoyah Chiefs<br />
baseball team ventured<br />
where no other Sequoyah<br />
team had been before,<br />
making it to the sectionals,<br />
or "sub state," for the<br />
first time in school history.<br />
The Chiefs were on the<br />
road, traveling to Smith<br />
<strong>County</strong> to take on the<br />
Owls. Smith <strong>County</strong><br />
jumped out to a big 8-0<br />
early lead only to see the<br />
Chiefs come roaring back<br />
in the late innings, but the<br />
rally would fall just little<br />
short as the Owls held on<br />
in the last inning to take<br />
the win and eliminate Sequoyah<br />
from the playoffs<br />
with the final score of 8-6.<br />
Even though the Chiefs’<br />
season is over, the team<br />
has a lot to be proud of, as<br />
it proved to be one of the<br />
better squads in the state,<br />
winning its second straight<br />
district title and advancing<br />
SPECIALS!<br />
to the regional tournament<br />
and on to the sectionals.<br />
The Chiefs finish with<br />
a record of 27 wins and 7<br />
losses and with key players<br />
returning next year, Sequoyah<br />
will once again be<br />
a team to reckon in the<br />
season to come.<br />
Things looked rough<br />
early for Sequoyah as it<br />
just could not find any offense<br />
and did not score a<br />
run in the first three innings<br />
of play. Smith<br />
<strong>County</strong>, on the other<br />
hand, jumped out to a big<br />
lead as it took advantage<br />
of several errors and mistakes<br />
from the Chiefs defense.<br />
The Owls scored<br />
two runs in the first inning,<br />
five runs in the second,<br />
and one run in the<br />
third as they built a big 8-<br />
0 lead after three innings<br />
of play.<br />

comeback bid in the<br />
fourth inning as Jake Johnson<br />
doubled and Scott<br />
Bowers singled, putting<br />
runners on first and third,<br />
Trey Strickland came in to<br />
run for Bowers and he<br />
quickly stole second.<br />
Blake Huffman hit a<br />
grounder that got by the<br />
Owls second baseman,<br />
scoring Johnson and<br />
Strickland. The next batter<br />
struck out, and at the<br />
end of four innings Smith<br />
<strong>County</strong> led 8-2 and that<br />
score held through the<br />
fifth inning as neither<br />
team scored.<br />
The Chiefs offense really<br />
came to life in the top<br />
of the sixth inning, Johnson<br />
got things going as he<br />
went to first base on a single.<br />
The next batter flew<br />
out to right field, bringing<br />
Forrest McKane to the<br />
plate, and he doubled into<br />
center field, putting runners<br />
on second and third.<br />
Blake Huffman singled<br />
into right field, scoring<br />
Johnson and McKane and<br />
Huffman advanced to second<br />
on a throw to the<br />
plate and then went to<br />
third on a passed ball. The<br />
next hitter went down<br />
swinging for the second<br />
out. Dustin Moser<br />
reached first on a base on<br />
balls and a balk on the<br />
Owls pitcher scored Huffman<br />
from third and<br />

Moser, but Minor got<br />

and ended the threat. Sequoyah<br />
held Smith<br />
<strong>County</strong> scoreless in the<br />
bottom of the inning, and<br />
after six innings of play, the<br />
Chiefs had cut the lead to<br />
8-6.<br />
It looked as if Sequoyah<br />
was going to tie things<br />
back up in the top of the<br />
seventh for with one out<br />
Trey Dyer went to first<br />
base on a error. Johnson<br />
stepped to the plate and<br />
ripped a double off the<br />
outfield wall, which was<br />
his fourth hit of the game,<br />
putting the tying runners<br />
on second and third with<br />
one out, but back to back<br />

threat and the game and<br />
Smith <strong>County</strong> held on for<br />
the win with the final<br />
score of 8-6.<br />
Congratulations to the<br />
Chiefs on a great season as<br />
it continues to build a tradition<br />
