COOSA VS. CHATTOOGA
The Indians close out their season against the
powerful 7-AA North Champion Coosa Eagles. The
Eagles’ only loss was against the Chieftains of West
Rome. But, will they be looking ahead to the next
week’s rematch with the Chieftains? 1 believe if the
Indians play 48 minutes of hard-nosed football and get
good blocking by the offensive line and another good
performance by the defense they have a chance to catch
the Eagles off guard. Chattooga 21, Coosa 19.

Close Season
Against Coosa
The Chattooga Indians and the LaFayette Ramblers
battled to a 0-0 deadlock Friday night at the Little Big
Horn in a battle of defenses.
The Indians were able to move the ball at will
against the Ramblers, but the LaFayette team was
always able to stop the Indians
on the big plays.
On the opening series for
the Indians after a LaFayette
punt the Indians drove the ball
to the LaFayette 16 before
being halted. The Indians took
over at their own 36 and on
the first play, Indian tailback
James Lester slashed through
the Rambler defense for 7
yards to the 43. On the next
play, quarterback Bobby
Mitchell pitched back to
Charles Page and Page rounded
left end and rambled for 40
yards to the Rambler 17 before
being “angled” out by a La-
Fayette defender. From there,
the Ramblers put the bolt on
the Indians by allowing only a
vard more before the Indians
lost the ball on downs.
The rest of the half neither
team was able to mount a drive
as both defenses stopped the
big play.
The Indians took the second

The Chattooga Indians are shown
making a last-ditch effort to pull out
Friday night's contest with the
LaFayette Ramblers. The game ended
half kickoff and drove to the
Rambler 26 before being
stopped again. From there, the
defenses took over again and
stopped the opposing offenses.
LaFayette mounted a drive
late in the last quarter to put a
scare into the Indians. The
drive started at the Rambler 17
with Ricky Cox picking up 1
yard to the 18. From there, it
looked as if the Indians would
bottle the Ramblers up deep in
their own territory as Roy
Montgomery was caught for a
2 yard loss. But, the Indians
were called for piling on and
the 15 yard assessment moved
the ball to the 31 for a first
down. From there the Ramb
lers drove the ball to the Indian
5 where the Indians defense
stiffened and held the
Ramblers for three plays. Then
a fourth down the Ramblers
tried a 21 yard field goal with
only 2:30 remaining in the
game. The kick by Danny
Jackson sailed wide to the right
and the Indians took over at
•he 20.
On the first play James
Lester picked up seven yards to
the 27. Charles Page then got
the call and picked up seven
more to the 34. On the follow
ing play, Page bulled for 13
more yards to the 47 where the
Ramblers weie guilty of piling
on and the penalty moved the
ball to the Rambler 36. From
there Mitchel) picked up 3 to
the 33 before Lester was
caught for a yard loss. Then,
Bobby Mitchell picked up 10
yards and a first down at the
Rambler 24. Lester carried
again this time for 3 yards to
the 21. Page carried again for 5
yards to the 16. With time
running out, Lester picked up
11 big yards up the middle
with a Rambler hanging onto
his jersey stopping him.
Mitchell then was stopped for
no gain setting up Greg
London’s attempt at the game
winning field goal. The attempt
sailed just wide to the left with
only 5 seconds left in the
game. Had the try been suc
cessful, it would have been
nullified because of a penalty
against the Indians.
