More than 200 senior football players, cheerleaders, marching band members and JROTC cadets had one last night under the lights as CCSD high schools came together at Etowah High School stadium for the 6th Annual Cherokee County School District Senior Bowl.  The Blue team, formed from Cherokee, River Ridge and Sequoyah, claimed the win 24-14 over the Black team, comprised of players from Etowah, Woodstock and Creekview HS.  River Ridge’s Head Coach Mike Collins led the Blue team, while Creekview’s Head Coach Trevor Williams led the Black team.  A combined JROTC color guard presented the flags before the game, and combined band and cheer groups provided the perfect fall football atmosphere for students and parents with musical numbers and chants.  All proceeds from the charity game went to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
