Both local teams came up short against their foes Friday night. Chattooga was defeated on the road at Model and Trion fell to Mt. Paran at home. 

Chattooga was down early after having a punt blocked by the Model special teams. After recovering the ball, Model would use the pass to put the ball in the endzone and take a 6-0 lead on the Indians (PAT failed). The Indians would try to respond, but they would turn the ball over and kill off a solid drive. Model would drive deep into Chattooga territory, but the Indian Defense would stiffen and hold the Blue Devils at the goal line on a 4th and goal from the half-yard line. Model would try to kick a field goal at the end of the first half, but the kick would be wide and the teams would go to the half with the score 6-0 Model.

In the third quarter, the Chattooga offense would be stymied and again, the special teams would give up points to Model, this time in the form of a high snap over the punter's head that would lead to a safety. The lead would be 8-0 in Model's favor. Model would put another touchdown on the board, stretching the lead to 15-0. The Indians would respond late with a gutsy drive that would lead to a touchdown pass with 6 seconds remaining in the game, cutting the lead to 15-6 Model. Chattooga would go for the onside kick, but Model would recover and hold on to take the win, with a final score of 15-7 over the Indians. Chattooga travels to Murray County next week looking for their first win of the season.

Trion played host to Mt. Paran and found them quickly in a hole against the Eagles. Mt. Paran would take the opening drive down the field and score. Trion would be stopped on their opening drive, leading to another Mt. Paran scoring drive. Trion was down in the 1st quarter 14-0 and looking for answers on both offense and defense. Mt. Paran would strike again only six seconds into the second quarter, scoring another touchdown to take the score to 21-0. Trion's offense would finally find some life and they would score a touchdown, but miss the extra point. Trion would strike again and try the two point conversion to no avail, making the score 21-12. Mt. Paran would tack on a field goal just before the half to take a 24-12 lead into the intermission.

Trion would get the ball to open the second half and would drive down the field to see a promising drive stopped by a turnover. They would never threaten again. Mt. Paran would tack on another touchdown and they would go on to defeat Trion by a final score of 31-12. Trion will travel to Darlington next week looking to get back on track against a tough Tiger team.
