From the opening kickoff, there was no doubt James Teter would make history on Friday night.
The Chiefs (2-0) returned the kick for a touchdown, and though a penalty brought it back, it set the tone for their 61-0 win over Cherokee (0-2) at Tommy Baker Field, as well as Teter’s entry into Cherokee County immortality. The win gave him 98 at Sequoyah, passing his predecessor, Sid Maxwell, for the county’s all-time record.
“It's good, and I'm excited,” Teter said. “ And when the season's over, we'll be able to sit down and kind of reflect on some of it, but really, it was just another game we had to try to win. I thought our kids really responded well. It was the opposite of the other night (against Denmark).”
Teter tied Maxwell at 97 following last week’s comeback victory over Denmark. Af
