Friday night football returns to the airwaves tonight on WZQZ. Region play is in full swing for both of our local teams.

Trion is currently 4-0 on the season and after a bye week last week, the Dawgs will hit the road tonight to begin region play in Trenton against the Dade County Wolverines. Dade County is 1-4 on the season with their only win coming a month ago against North Sand Mountain, AL.

The Chattooga Indians are 1-4 on the season after last week’s first region loss for the Indians on the road at Pepperell 45-17.

Their two defeats were to Gordon Lee and Union County.
