The on-the-field 49-game losing streak came to an end for the Sequoyah Chieftains on Saturday at Adams Stadium with a 40-6 win over the Tucker Tigers in DCSD middle school football action.

Sequoyah had not won a game on the field since the first week of the 2011 season 19-14 over Redan. The Chieftains had received a forfeit from Druid Hills in 2014 in a game Druid Hills won.

Defensively, David Franco and Brayan Bibiano led the way with five tackles and a fumble recovery each. Alejando Hernandez and Luis Hernandez contributed four tackles apiece on defense as well.

The win sets up a big clash with rival Chamblee this weekend in Region 1 action that could help determine a playoff bid.
