Another exciting night of high school football is on tap tonight on WZQZ. The Chattooga Indians are fresh off one of the biggest upset wins in at least the last decade with their win over defending region champion Fannin County last week. The Indians, who are 2-5 overall on the season, suddenly find themselves in the thick of the playoff race with a 2-2 region record which puts them at 5th place currently in the region. Chattooga will be looking to pull their second straight upset tonight on the road in Dalton against the 2nd place Christian Heritage Lions. Christian Heritage is 4-3 overall on the season and 3-1 in region play. Christian Heritage has notched wins against Pepperell, Dade County, Coosa and Gordon Central. Their losses came against Heritage Ringgold, Landmark Christian and Gordon Lee.
The Trion Bulldogs will return to the friendly confines of Sam R. McCain Stadium tonight to take on Westbrook Christian from Rainbow City, AL. Trion is coming off a tough road loss last week to Mount Zion 41-17 which dropped the Dawgs to 3rd place in the region. Trion has yet to win two consecutive games this year but conversely that have yet to lose two consecutive games as well. Their record currently stands at 3-4 overall and 1-1 in region play. Trion will be facing an unfamiliar opponent tonight in the Westbrook Christian Warriors. Westbrook is 5-1 on the season with wins over Glencoe, Saks, Locust Fork, Munford and Ohatchee. Their lone loss on the year came back 3 weeks ago to Piedmont.
Both games will be broadcast live on the WZQZ Facebook page tonight. The Chattooga vs Christian Heritage game will also be broadcast on the radio at 99.1 FM and AM 1180. Kickoff for both games will be at 7:30 pm.
