The Chattooga Indians return to the Little Big Horn Friday night for Homecoming, taking on the Gordon Central Warriors in a Region 7-AA matchup.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 PM.

Both teams enter Friday night’s game looking for their first win of the season. Chattooga is 0-5 overall and 0-1 in region play, while Gordon Central is also 0-5 overall and 0-1 in the region.

Chattooga is coming off a 23-0 loss to Gordon Lee, while Gordon Central fell to Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe 35-26 last Friday.

For Head Coach Roone Gable and the Indians, Friday night’s game provides an opportunity to pick up an important region victory in front of the Homecoming crowd.

The game caps off a week of Homecoming activities at Chattooga High School, including the Red & Black Bash held Wednesday evening. The Homecoming Court will also be featured Friday night as students, alumni and supporters gather at the Little Big Horn.

Trion has the week off, making the Chattooga-Gordon Central matchup the featured WZQZ football broadcast this week.

The game will be heard live on WZQZ 99.1 FM and will also be streamed live on the WZQZ Facebook page.

The Chattooga broadcast crew of Chris “Bubba” Wilson and Steiner Davis, along with cameraman Mason Gilreath, will bring listeners and viewers all the action from the Little Big Horn.

Kickoff between the Chattooga Indians and Gordon Central Warriors is at 7:30 PM Friday.

The Chattooga Indians came up just short on the road Friday night, falling to the Coosa Eagles 14-7 in a low-scoring non-region matchup in Rome.

Chattooga entered the game looking for its first win of the season and turned in its strongest defensive performance of the young season, holding Coosa to just two touchdowns. The Indians, however, were unable to generate enough offense to overcome the Eagles.

The loss drops Chattooga to 0-3 on the season under head coach Roone Gable, while Coosa improves to 2-1.

There was also a concerning moment during Friday night’s game when Chattooga’s #2, Aiden Fletcher, was injured. Fletcher is expected to be okay following the injury.

Despite the loss, the Indians showed improvement defensively after allowing 33 points against LaFayette in the season opener and 42 points against Model last week.

Chattooga will remain on the road next week as the Indians travel to Ridgeland on Friday, September 18, for another non-region matchup. The Panthers enter the game at 0-4 after falling to LaFayette 27-17 Friday night.

The Indians will look to pick up their first victory of the season before returning home to the Little Big Horn later this month.

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.
