GREENEVILLE – For a span of about four to five minutes, the Elizabethton Cyclones had the Greeneville Greene Devils gasping for air, but as fate would have it, the Cyclones became their own worst enemy, allowing the Greene Devils to gain new life.
As a result, the Greene Devils turned what was a Cyclone interception into a 69-yard touchdown reception. Then, after the Cyclones closed the gap to 13-7, back-to-back interception returns by Greeneville blew the door off the hinges as the Greene Devils built a 27-7 halftime lead before cruising to a 41-7 win.
