High School football is back on the air tonight on WZQZ. After the cross-town border war between the two teams last week, Trion and Chattooga will turn their attention elsewhere with critical region games on the slate tonight. The Trion Bulldogs are fighting for a Region 6-A championship and their game tonight with the visiting Pepperell Dragons could not be any bigger. Trion and Pepperell come into the game tonight tied for first place in Region 6-A with identical region records of 3-0. Pepperell shook things up in the region last week with a huge 35-10 upset home win over the Darlington Tigers. Tonight’s game will not decide the region championship but the winner of tonight’s game will be squarely in the driver’s seat and have sole possession of first place in the region heading into the final two weeks of the regular season.
The Chattooga Indians are looking to break a five game losing streak but have a tough assignment on the road this week at Dade County. The Wolverines have a deceiving record of 2-5 but they have played one of the toughest schedules in the area and played close games with Darlington and Trion. Dade County picked up their first region win last week on the road at Coosa 42-7.
The Trion vs Pepperell game will be broadcast on 99.1 FM and AM 1180. Both the Trion and Chattooga games will be broadcast live on the WZQZ Facebook page. Ben Groce and Jeremy Burke will call the action from Trion and Paul Cavin will call the action from Trenton. Tune in to the pregame show at 7pm with kickoff to follow at 7:30pm.
