Trion 36 – Gordon Lee 7

LaFayette 33 – Chattooga 14

Trion Rolls Past Gordon Lee 36-7 In Season Opener

The Trion Bulldogs opened the 2026 football season in impressive fashion Friday night, defeating longtime rival Gordon Lee 36-7 at Sam R. McCain Memorial Stadium.

The victory gives Trion a 1-0 start to the season under head coach Sean Patrick and provides an early boost for a Bulldog team looking to build on last year’s playoff appearance. The win was also a measure of revenge for Trion after Gordon Lee defeated the Bulldogs 23-12 in Chickamauga last season.

Trion established control of Friday night’s game and never allowed Gordon Lee to generate enough offense to seriously threaten the Bulldogs’ lead. The Bulldogs put 36 points on the scoreboard while holding the Trojans to a single touchdown.

The performance was particularly encouraging for a Trion program that entered the season emphasizing improvement on both sides of the football. The Bulldogs returned several experienced players from last year’s team, including quarterback and defensive back Linc Allen, running back and linebacker Landon Kimbell, and Hudson Thomas at defensive end and tight end.

Friday night’s victory also reversed the outcome of the most recent meeting in a rivalry that has featured plenty of memorable games. Trion has enjoyed considerable success in the series in recent years, including wins of 30-6 in 2024, 56-14 in 2023 and 45-19 in 2022.

The 36-7 final puts Trion at 1-0, while Gordon Lee begins the season at 0-1.

The Bulldogs won’t have long to celebrate.

Trion will remain at home next Friday, August 28, when the Bulldogs welcome the Model Blue Devils to Sam R. McCain Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

LaFayette Tops Chattooga 33-14 In Season Opener

The Chattooga Indians opened the 2026 football season at home Friday night, falling to the LaFayette Ramblers 33-14 at the Little Big Horn.

LaFayette was able to build the advantage it needed and keep Chattooga from mounting a comeback, handing the Indians a loss in their first game of the new season. The victory moves LaFayette to 1-0, while Chattooga begins the year at 0-1.

Chattooga reached the end zone twice during the contest, but the Indians were unable to keep pace with a LaFayette offense that finished the night with 33 points.

The season opener was an early test for a Chattooga team that entered 2026 determined to return to the state playoffs after narrowly missing the postseason last year.

Head coach Roone Gable and the Indians entered the season with several returning contributors and an emphasis on developing the team’s younger players while building around the experience returning on both sides of the football.

Friday night’s game also continued a longtime Northwest Georgia matchup between the two programs. LaFayette has now won the last two meetings after defeating Chattooga 25-0 in 2025. Chattooga’s most recent victory in the series came in 2024, when the Indians defeated the Ramblers 30-0 at the Little Big Horn.

Chattooga will now have an open week, giving the Indians additional time to evaluate the opener and prepare for their next opponent.

The Indians return to action Friday, September 4, when the Model Blue Devils come to the Little Big Horn for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.

Chattooga will then begin Region 7-AA play the following week, making the Model game another important opportunity for the Indians to make adjustments before the region portion of the schedule gets underway.

Final: LaFayette 33, Chattooga 14.
