Frank Foils Bradley As Cherokees Get Sweep
McMinn Wins Another One-Run Game Tuesday, April 6, 2021 - by James Beach
CLEVELAND, Tenn. – While it seems there may be tension and drama all around these days pretty much every time the McMinn Cherokees take the field, Tribe baseball skipper Mike Ray barely even breaks a sweat anymore. He might as well be coaching from his sofa, such is his comfort level.
The Cherokees got caught up in another one-run District 5AAA battle outing last night and once again did enough right things to claim a 3-2 thriller against host Bradley Central. In fact, it was the second straight series sweep for the Cherokees after opening the year with splits in their first two series and they find themselves entrenched atop the league standings at 6-2. And get this: of the eight league games, five of them have been one-run affairs.

According to a report from Chron, Noir, a rising rapper and community activist, was being chased in downtown Houston before the shooting occurred.
“Witnesses saw Mr. Roberson running down the street after hearing gunfire in the distance,” according to the City of Houston’s report. “A vehicle drove around the block as if chasing Roberson and then stopped at the above address. Two unknown males exited the vehicle and fired shots at Roberson, who collapsed in the street.”
Regarded as the “Nipsey Hussle of East Texas”, Noir was from the same housing project as George Floyd and was well known for his creative career, entrepreneurship, and community activism.
Covid does not discriminate. Even elite athletes competing at the highest levels of their sports are susceptible to the virus’s long-term effects.
It’s been nearly a year since Covid changed everyday life as we know it. People have committed to slowing the virus’s spread by staying home, socially distancing, and wearing masks as vaccinations have slowly been rolled out. While progress has been made, there is still so much we don’t know about this virus.
Across multiple leagues, stories of athletes diagnosed with Covid have circulated, and everyone’s recovery has been different. Often, the road back to 100 percent isn’t a straight line.
