The victory marked Fannin County’s fourth consecutive win and improved the Rebels’ record to 6-4 on the season.

The Indians will close out their regular season on the road against Christian Heritage in Dalton on Thursday, November 5, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 PM.

Chattooga will be looking to finish the season with a victory after a challenging year that included wins over Gordon Central and Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe.
