Having size can help a team. Having size with depth on the roster can win a lot of ball games. The Cascade Champions (1-1) picked up their first win of the season, relying on the size differential in the post against Culleoka and picked up the first win of the year, beating the Warriors 73-50 on Friday night...

The Cascade Lady Champions had about as good of a first half as possible on Friday night against Culleoka. Cascade (2-0) scored early and often and took off on an 18-0 run to open the game. Cascade coasted off that momentum to the 57-28 win over the Lady Warriors...

BELL BUCKLE — Rece Chumley couldn’t have asked for a better start for his Lady Champions’ season on Tuesday night at the Webb School. The Lady Champions utilized their lengthy bench to bring the pressure and in the end, pulled away with a lop-sided second half in a 74-35 blowout win...

BELL BUCKLE — Fouls, fouls and more fouls! In Tuesday night’s season-opener between the Webb School and Cascade, 52 fouls were called between the two teams, resulting in a lengthy showdown.

WESTMORELAND — Rolling into Friday night’s regular season finale at Westmoreland, the Cascade Champions (3-7, 1-4) had an outside shot of qualifying for the TSSAA state playoffs. In order for that to happen, Cascade needed to spoil Westmoreland’s senior night and East Robertson needed to upset an unbeaten Watertown...

Prior to the week of practice prepping for Friday night’s regular season finale, Coach Jake Tyre and his coaching staff only knew the Westmoreland Eagles (6-3, 2-2) have run a Wing-T offense and had piled up six wins along the way. Once the staff was able to dig into some film study, the Champions (3-9, 1-3) will have a tough task corralling the Eagles’ top back on Friday night...

HENDERSONVILLE — What’s been the best run in school history for the Cascade Lady Champions (10-3) came to a close in Saturday’s Class A state sectional at Merrol Hyde. A 79th minute goal by Merrol Hyde advanced the hosts on to the state tournament, while ending Cascade’s season...

CHAPEL HILL — Untimely penalties and the inability to finish first-half drives ultimately proved too costly for the Cascade Champions (3-9) on Friday night at Forrest. The Rockets (4-5) scored 21 first-half points off Champion stops and turnovers and held on for the 42-14 win on Friday night...

For the first time this season, the Cascade Lady Champions took a loss on their home field. Though Thursday’s Region 3-A final ended in a 3-0 loss to Signal Mountain (13-3-1), Cascade (10-2) still is alive in the postseason and very much in the mix to find a way to the state tournament next week...

After winning three straight, the Cascade Champions (3-5) ran into a buzz saw against a talented Trousdale County team a week ago in a 48-7 defeat.

The Cascade High School girls soccer program will have a first on Thursday afternoon. For the first time in school history, the Lady Champions (10-1) will be playing for a Region 3-A title—and they’ll get to do it on their home turf. “To get to the region championship is a first for us. It’s so exciting to see the girls progressing and playing so well when it mattered. This was probably our best game, in the game that mattered the most,” Lady Champion coach Zack Spears...

A little bit of confidence can be a good thing. A lot can be downright dangerous. And confidence is one thing the Cascade Champions are in no short supply of in the midst of a three-game win streak.

CHAPEL HILL — In the two regular season meetings this season, the Cascade Lady Champions didn’t allow a single goal to cross-county rival Community. In Thursday night’s District 6-A title match, Cascade delivered more of the same—a stout effort by the back defensive line and a few timely goals that landed the Lady Champions the 6-A championship...

Cascade coach Jake Tyre has his team playing some inspired football. After an 0-4 start, the Champions have won their last two games and the wins have been impressive to say the least. In the two-game win streak the Champs (2-4, 1-2) have orchestrated, Cascade has out-gained its opposition 559 yards to just 380...

CHAPEL HILL — It’s been a fairly dominant romp through the 2018 regular season for the Cascade Lady Champions. Not much changed in the District 6-A semifinals against Huntland on Tuesday night.

For three weeks now, Cascade has continually built off its successes and last week against cross-county rival Community, the stars aligned in a 26-0 blowout win, marking the first win of the season for the Champs.

Viqueen senior Hannah Goodwin shot a 79, beating Hickman County’s Bailey Gilbert, who finished second, by seven strokes...

Cascade closed its regular season home slate much in the way it began—a dominating effort on defense followed with a quick flurry of offense.

It was a fun game to coach,” Grooms said. “I love having the kids out there when they’re upbeat the whole time.”...

It was bound to happen, sooner or later. Finally, a team was able to score on what’s been a stout Cascade Lady Champion defense. Even though Cascade surrendered two goals to visiting Fayetteville City, the Lady Champs held on for the 3-2 victory to keep their unbeaten season alive...

WATERTOWN — Deramus Carey was a one-man wrecking machine the Cascade Champions just couldn’t corral. Carey ran wild in the Region 4-AA meeting, rushing for 256 yards and six touchdowns in Watertown’s 52-7 win over the Champs. While the score may tell one story, a closer look at the game showed Cascade perhaps put forth its best game of the season so far...

For just about any team, a 3-0 start to the regular season would be the most impressive stat that any coach would be pleased to own. Concerning the Cascade Lady Champions, however, it isn’t. Though the Lady Champs do own a 3-0 record so far this season, Cascade has yet to yield a single goal to any of its three opponents...

Three fumbles in the first half proved to be costly for Cascade’s Champions in a 34-7 loss to visiting East Robertson’s Indians in a Region 4AA matchup on Friday night at the Stable.

Tyler Ayers hauled in a pass from Swift on the two-point conversion for the 7-0 lead...

The dress rehearsals are over. The first two weeks of the season revived a pair of rivalries for the Cascade Champions (0-2). Entering Week 3, the Champs enter Region 4-AA play against East Robertson (1-1). “This week is a huge week. Moore County and Jo Byrns were pride weeks, but this week is a region game. So we have to come out and play Friday night. If we want to reach our ultimate goal of making the playoffs, we have to come out and play hard Friday night,” Champion coach Jake Tyre said...
