The Chattooga Indians broke into the win column in a big way Friday night, defeating Gordon Central 38-22 in front of the Homecoming crowd at the Little Big Horn.

The victory was the first of the season for Head Coach Roone Gable and the Indians, who entered Friday night’s Region 7-AA contest with an 0-5 record. Gordon Central also came into the game looking for its first victory of the year.

Chattooga’s offense had its biggest night of the season, putting 38 points on the scoreboard. Before Friday night, the Indians’ season high was 17 points in a 27-17 loss at Ridgeland. Chattooga had scored 14 against LaFayette, seven against Model, seven against Coosa and was shut out 23-0 by Gordon Lee last week.

The win also came on Homecoming night at Chattooga High School, capping a week of activities that included Wednesday night’s Red & Black Bash. Students, alumni and supporters gathered Friday night at the Little Big Horn for the Homecoming celebration and the Indians’ region matchup with Gordon Central.

The 2026 Homecoming Court was recognized during the evening.

Daysa Connie Martin was crowned the 2026 Homecoming Queen.

Claira Moseley was named First Runner-Up, while Carlee Alissa Childers was named Second Runner-Up.

Class princesses were also recognized. Addison Deberry was named Junior Princess, Emma Kate Veatch was named Sophomore Princess, and Layla Monet Albert was named Freshman Princess.

Chattooga River Cleanup Planned Monday During Fall Break

Local News, Local News Items #chattoogacounty, #ChattoogaCountyExtension, #ChattoogaCountySheriffsOffice, #ChattoogaInfo, #ChattoogaRiver, #ChattoogaRiverGroup, #CommunityCleanup, #georgia4H, #GeorgiaRivers, #northwestgeorgia, #RiverCleanup, #RiversAlive, #summervillega, #trionga, #Volunteer, #WaterwayCleanup, #WZQZ, #wzqznews 0

The Chattooga River Group is teaming up with Chattooga County Extension for a river cleanup Monday, October 5, as part of the Rivers Alive program.

The cleanup begins at 10 AM at the river in Trion, with participants meeting at the end of Park Avenue.

Organizers say Monday’s cleanup is specifically for landlubbers, meaning volunteers will work from land and will not be kayaking or getting into the river.

Adults interested in participating are asked to contact Cindy Rivers McGraw at 706-466-9014. 4-H members who would like to participate should contact Kyle Krueger at the Chattooga County Extension Office at 706-857-0744.

While volunteers work on the cleanup, other members of the Chattooga River Group will be on the water. They plan to kayak the Blue Leg section of the river from Trion to Summerville, where they will install river signage in cooperation with the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office.

The cleanup coincides with Fall Break for local students, providing an opportunity for families and young people to take part in a community environmental project.

Rivers Alive is a statewide program that encourages volunteers to help clean and protect Georgia’s waterways.
