Both local football teams are off tonight for Fall Break. So far this season, Trion is 5-1 overall, 3-0 in their region, and Chattooga is 1-5 overall, 1-2 in their region. Last week, Trion went to Dalton, GA to hand Christian Heritage High School an impressive 59-10 defeat, with the Bulldogs keeping a steady advantage over the Lions. Chattooga just didn’t have the same amount of luck; by halftime, Rockmart had made 7 touchdowns and Chattooga not a one. Thereafter, the clock was let run and neither team scored in the second half. That game finished 48-0.
Next Friday, both teams will head south for Rome with the Bulldogs playing the Darlington Tigers and the Indians facing the Model Blue Devils. As always, you can hear both of those games on the web at www.chattoogainfo.com at 7 PM sharp, and we will rebroadcast them the following Saturday afternoon at 1. We hope all the local athletes take it easy this week to bring home big wins next week!
