Pearl Cohn football team to be honored by state Senate following state championship

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The accolades keep coming for the Pearl Cohn Firebirds!

The state Senate Consent Calendar has a resolution on deck for Thursday to honor the Pearl Cohn football team for their big TSSAA state championship win this fall.

Not only that, they won 15 games in a row last season!

Their win was also the first time a Metro Schools football team has won a championship in more than a decade.

The long-awaited state title, is definitely something this community will cherish for a long time.
