Only one local football team will be in action tonight. The Trion Bulldogs have a bye week tonight and the Chattooga Indians will have a pivotal home region game against Christian Heritage. The 5-2 Chattooga Indians are looking to end a two game losing streak tonight against the visiting Christian Heritage Lions. Chattooga opened the season 5-0 but have dropped two straight games to Gordon Lee and region leading Fannin County. Chattooga currently sits at 4th place in Region 7A behind Gordon Lee, Christian Heritage and Fannin County. Christian Heritage is 6-1 overall this season with their only loss coming in week 1 at Heritage Ringgold. Since that opening loss, Christian Heritage has reeled off wins against Cherokee Christian, Pepperell, Dade County, Gordon Lee, Coosa and last week against Gordon Central. If Chattooga wants to climb up a step in the region rankings, they will have to pull the upset tonight against the surging Christian Heritage Lions.
The Chattooga vs Christian Heritage game will be live video streamed on the WZQZ Facebook page and will also be broadcast on 99.1 FM and AM 1180. Join Chris “Bubba” Wilson and Steiner Davis along with cameraman Mason Gilreath tonight live from the Little Big Horn. The pregame show will begin around 7:15 pm with kickoff to follow at 7:30 pm.
