Both local football squads had to contend with troublesome guests on Friday night. The Chattooga Indians played host to the Dade County Wolverines at the Little Big Horn, as Trion played host to the Christian Heritage Lions at Sam R. McCain. With the calender flipping over to November and the football season coming to a close, both teams were hoping for wins, but it was not to be this week.

Dade County took advantage of the Indians' mistakes and scored twice early when the Indians gave over the ball deep in their on territory. The Wolverines held a 14-0 lead at the half. Chattooga would receive the second half kickoff, but would would not be able to cut into the Dade County lead. By the end of the third quarter, Dade County would extend their lead to 24-0. By the fourth quarter, Dade would have a commanding  31-0 lead. Chattooga would score a late touchdown, but the night would belong to the Wolverines.

Chattooga will travel to Calhoun next Friday night to face the 2013 region 7-AA champions. The game will be carried here on the www.chattoogainfo.com website as the internet game, as the Indians close out their 2013 campaign. Join Robert Beach and Ken Bruce for the call of all the action next week.

Trion would also struggle with unruly house guests on Friday night. Playing host to the Lions of Christian Heritage, the Bulldogs would be down early 3-0. The Lions would add a touchdown to their lead to stretch the advantage to 10-0 in the first quarter. Trion would get on the board with a Bethune run that would cut the lead to 10-7 in favor of the Lions. The Lions would answer with another score to take the halftime advantage over the Dawgs to 17-7.

Trion would mount a comeback in the second half, getting a touchdown run from Gabe Howell (PAT no good) to cut the deficit to 17-13. Trion would take their first lead of the game on a fourth down pass to Gabe Howell that went for a touchdown. With the PAT, Trion would lead 20-17. The lead would not stand for long though, as the Lions would storm down the field and score a touchdown, regaining the lead, 24-20. Trion would have one last chance with 1:53 remaining in the game. Out of time outs and needing a touchdown, Trion would try to drive the length of the field and score. Trion would convert a key forth down, but a false start penalty would back them up and on the next forth down, they would fall short. The ball was given over to the Lions on downs and they would kneel in the victory formation to end the game.

Trion will play at Mt. Paran next week in a rematch from earlier in the season. Mt. Paran defeated Trion in the meeting by a final score of 31-12. The match up will be our radio game next week and can be heard on AM 1180 or online at www.chattoogainfo.com.
