Defending champion and No. 1-ranked Alcoa entered a heavy favorite.
That the Tornadoes routed Unicoi County, 49-13, in a Class 3A playoff opener on Friday at Goddard Field was no surprise.
The way sophomore running back Kareem Rodriguez got off on a second quarter scoring drive for the Tornadoes?
Now, that was something different. That was cool.
