The Chattooga Indians suffered a tough road loss Friday night, falling to the Fannin County Rebels 45-7 in Blue Ridge.

Chattooga entered Friday’s game hoping to build on the previous week’s 27-14 victory over Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe, but the Rebels proved too much for the Indians.

Fannin County came into the contest riding a three-game winning streak, including a 56-14 victory over Gordon Central the previous week. The Rebels continued their strong offensive performance against Chattooga, putting 45 points on the scoreboard while holding the Indians to a single touchdown.

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

For Chattooga, the loss drops the Indians to 2-7 overall with one regular-season game remaining.

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.
