One Way to See It
TH%{!E AI!;I’Tfl(V:g JUSTICE—
e people of Chattooga County, Trion-Summerville and the
beautiful hfils all in between, love tieir kids, pay their preachers
and generally are niood Democrats, but after last Frigay night
they re like a drunk in the Saturday night slammer beating the
bars and loudlf' proclaimin% there isn't any justice. Gfimer
County’s muscle and grit Bobcats, got out of Trion with a 3 tie
smile while the longest 50 miles ever traveled was for the In
dians to come home suffering a shattered champion dream 7-21
to Cedartown.
The Bulldogs at Cedartown L:st tough enough on defense to
allow 2 fumbles and stop the Chattooga trys to convert. Cedar
town covering 2 Chattooga fumbles converted once from the 6
then stopped the Indians at the 7 on a comeback effort. On the
charts as Cedartown proved its offensive night 13-Ist downs to
6 and 267 yards the groof is there that the Bulldogs tremendous
potential is in a blocking front line that like Models of 1979 has
really kst them on the move. Short powerful shots that go for
sustained drives has ke‘n Cedartown as best by far at running
the football an averaie ast week of 322 yards per game. Chat
tooga's defense knocked some 60 yards off that total. Cedar
town tried only 2 gasses completing 1 for 8 yards. Chattooga's
finsses Richie Ludy to Darry Evans, Eddie Herod and Steve
cGill totaled 5 good for 14 trys and 52 yards to keep the In
dians only 23 yards behind Cedartown's total offense of 1555
yards best in the Rome area.
Jeff McCary hurt in the Bulldog affair suffered a slight con
cussion was feeling fine on Monday but awaits doctor’s order in
greparation for Carrollton this week at the Little Big Horn in
ummerville.
GILMER COUNTY LEAVES WITH A SMILE—
Trion’s 'Dogs 3, The Bobcats 3 and the Ellijay folks of
Region BAA are the toughest folks Trion will meet in this 1980
campaign. Trion might lose along the way in the score but
nobody will be as big and rugged as these Bobcats were. Gilmer
on the other hand might also lose again as they now read 3-1-1
with a 6-7 loss to Jefferson County but they don't expect
another all-out scrap such as the Region 6A leaders.
Not since Sept. 12, 1975 has Trion walked off a field with a
tie since Bremen 7-7 on that date that ended a 17 game
winstreak. Through the years since 1933 Trion has had now 14
ties, 313 wins, 157 losses.
Close is not a good word for this most rugged encounter as
Trion's 20 yards better offense 229-209 was in our favor with
Gilmer 13-Ist downs to 11 best in their favor. In this ball game
Trion's good little men outmanned by the Bobcats goog big
men left it only for the Bulldogs to outfight them for the dif
ference. Here was the case. You have to tfiink hard and search
long for catchy words or phrases to describe the kind of battle
this whole Trion squad poured into it. Again the 'Dogs had to
fight uphill against the plague of fumbles that cast this one. In
fact Gifmer's recovery of the big one just after the half set the
visitors on fire at the Trion 48. Gilmer posted 3 first to the Trion
12 and here the 'Dogs refused another inch requiring the 3 point
shot that tied it. Trion's drive earlier in the 2nd period put them
at the Gilmer 29 and from 36 yards Fitz “Shotfi'un” Christopher
knocked it for Trion's Homecoming halftime show. Three costly
fumbles and Gilmer's 1 interception cut Trion’s streak of 5 wins
but again the sth time Trion's goal line was uncrossed and
Bremen's 6 points, Gilmer’s 3 the only scores.
How you go about giving credit to some %reat fierformances
when everybody gave it their best shot. Thrill packed moments
however went to Greg Blevins within a split hair of breaking it
all the way in that last minute with 1 of Randall Pierce’s 4 com
pletions. Andy Kitchens out charging the big Bobcats on big
sacks and exceptional tackles in &e open field by Tony
Bethune. This was Andy's greatest night and his best bid of the
consistent Friday night efforts t,owarg that coveted All-Region,
All-State tag. Belvins a night among men is certainly big in
Trion’s No. 3 state ranking with Tony’'s quiet way of going
about the way it should be done.
This week Trion goes back in region play with Red Bud’s
aerial circus coming to town with their 3-3 chart. Th?' will be
shooting at the 'Dogs high standing after losing to double A
Lovett 14-0 last weei. They have beaten Pickens County, Gor
don Lee and Mt. Zion.
THE ROAD BACK—
Chattooga’s long road back will have to open up at Thunder
Alley this week. Carrollton at Summerville as the antique Tro
jan box has continued to roll 28-7 last Friday at Pel?perell. Here
again a high powered runnin§ attack 369 fyards at Pepperell will
severely test the Indians still rugged defense.
Against Cass the Trojans run-pass went for 319 dyards and
21-0. It was 22-18 over Paulding County of Dallas and 14-0 over
Central of Carrollton.
Chattooga’s hope would have to lie within the Rockmart-
Cedartown meeting this week and a win for the Jackets. Beat
Carrollton, then Carrollton beat Cedartown in their season win
dup. Those odds are slim but it could happen on a possible 4
team tie as November rolls around.
NOW SOME THINGS—
In trying to read and interpret some of the football situa
tions it apfiears an appeals court would have to convene. Last
Friday in the Gilmer-Trion game, Trion was called on a clipping
penalty, 4th down run play which they failed to gain the
necessary yard for a Ist down. Gilmer at the end of the play was
called on a dead ball foul for 15 yards. It was not o?fsett,ing
penalties. Trion was penalized 15 yards from the line of scrim
m:ife, Gilmer was penalized 15 yards from the spot of the dead
ball foul which was ahead of the position of the ball. Just where
the ball ended up we don’t know except Trion didn’t get the Ist
down or the ball in their own territory. Now who called them of
ficials dumb or stupid or crazy? The object is to confuse the
issue so nobody knows what's coming down and you don’t know
what to complain.
Gilmer fans raised a howl on a roughing the kicker call good
for 15 and a Ist as Trion fans howled on the preceding play at no
call, on an obvious pass interference. Was it a makeup call?
Those are even worse than a flub.
—Trying to get in touch with Rick Camp on his Ist day
home from the Braves is quite an ego shattering experience. We
called his dad ‘Fat’’ and he says if you catch him say Howdy
for me! Now this taking a back seat to a Lake Weiss, catfish,
carp or crappie really puts our importance at a low state. But
his fishing is way behind I guess and that's more important
than us wanting to know. Rick did you get a 50 grandp Bonus
like you ought to? Is it true about a 3 year contract for a cool
million? Dig you go along with the other Braves and vote for
Rick as Braves MVP? Could you let me have a 5 spot till Satti
day maybe?
—Trion's 3-3 tie with Gilmer naturally called for a hunt for
that tie No. 13 at Bremen 7-7, 1975. In that one the Bulldogs no
doubt set some sort of record they doubled the stats on Bremen.
Scored on the Ist drive 81 yards in 5 minutes, 50 seconds. A
pass Dennis Bethune to Mike Mosley.
In the last period such guys as Verlon Bethune, Jeff Wells,
Jim Fleming, gary Knowles, Tim Perry, Brad Russell and the
others marcied 80 yards and 1 inch in 20 plays. Kept the ball
for 8 minutes, 14 seconds yet came up 1 inch short of a Ist down
at the 4 yard line and the tie game.
Before that a 14-14 with (gordon Lee in 1973 and 0-0 with
Chattooga in 1971 was the last time Trion and Chattooga have
met on the grid. In 1933, Trion’s Ist year of football, the
Bulldogs and Indians played twice, Trion won the Ist. They tied
in the season final game.
UP AND DOWN 27— ; i
Gilmer County and Chattanooga Valley tied for 2nd place in
the area ‘‘Team of the Week" votinfi for their smiling tie with
Trion's 'Dogs 3-3. Chattanooga Valley beat Rossville 13-9 for
their first time in years. § ;
Murray County won the Title for their 14-7 win over
Southeast Whitfie(d. Remember Gilmer beat Murray back in
September. Ringgold was fourth in the Team of the Week
voting.

Trion, Gilmer Co. Tie 3-3
Bulldogs Face
Red Bud Friday
The homecoming was a great
time to be had, but it is hard to
settle for a 3-3 tie. Yes, the Trion
Bulldogs and the Gilmer County
Bobcats battled to a tie last Fri
day night in Trion leaving the
Bulldogs still undefeated.
The Bobcats took the opening
kickoff and immediately went to
the air but came away empty
handed. The next play was a run
ning play good for six yards
followed by another run which
netted seven yards and a first
down. Gilmer County tried
another run but didn't get any
yardage, and they tried a pass
which was off target. The next
play was a pass from Dennis
Ralston to Norman Chastain
good for seven yards but not
enough for a first down forcing a
punt. The defense was led by
Tony Bethune, Stacy Searels,
Randall Pierce, Fitzgerald
Christopher, Jerrell Farmer and
Greg Blevins.
Following a punt and a penal
ty, the Bulldogs set up operations
at their own 13 yard line. On the
first play, Mike Chaney picked up
two yards, but the next play lost
two yards on a fumble which the
'Dogs recovered. The Bulldogs’
Randall Pierce tried a pass to
Joey Chaney which went in

complete setting a punting situa
tion,
After the punt, the Bobcats
picked up three yards on a run
but lost one on the next play.
Gilmer's Rolston went to the air
again and hit Richard Stephens
for a 20 yard gain. With a first
down at Trion's 25 yard line, the
Bobcats were able to pick up only
two yards in two plays before
they saw a pass go incomplete.
Facing a fourth down, the Bob
cats tried a 40 yard field goal
which came up short. The 'Dogs
were led on defense by Fitzgerald
Christopher, Andy Kitchens and
Mike Chaney.
The Bulldogs went to work at
their twenty yard line. Fitzgerald
picked up two tough yards, and
Mike Chaney added another eight
yards. A pass from Randall Pierce
to Fitzgerald Christopher gained
one yard, but Randall ran on the
next play to get eight yards. Mike
came right back and gathered
another eight yards. The next
play hurt the 'Dogs as they
fumbled and Gilmer County
recovered at Trion’s 45 yard line.
Gilmer fumbled the ball on
their first play but they recovered
their own fumble and gained five
yards. Following two penalties to
Gilmer, the Bobcats were in their
own territory. After a loss on a
running play, the Bobcats gained
five yards on a running play.
Gilmer was forced to punt on a
fourth down early in the second
quarter.
Starting on their 31 yard line,
the Bulldogs cranked up the of
fense machine. Mike Chaney pick
ed up five yards in two plays, and
Randall Pierce added six yards on
two runs. Mike then broke for a
27 yard gallop to Gilmer's 31 yard
line. Fitzgerald came on to gain
three yards, and Randall hit Tony
Bethune with a pass good for ten
yards. After three running plays
netted only one yard, the
Bulldogs sent Fitzgerald in to try
a 35 yard field goal which was
good, and Trion led 3-0.

first down by gaining eleven
yards on two running plays. The
next play was a run good for a one
yard pick up, but after two pass
plays went incomplete, the Bob
cats had to punt.
Trion quickly went to the at
tack as Randall picked up five
yards. Jerrell Farmer ran next for
26 yards giving Trion field posi
tion at Gilmer's 43 yard line. Ran
dall went to the air and hit Tony
Bethune on a seven yard pass
play. Trying a pass to Joey
Chaney was too much as Gilmer
picked it off to stop the drive.
The Bobcats went right to the
pass as they picked up nineteen
yards on one play and twenty
yards on the next play. On the
next play, Tony Bethune came on
to pick off a pass to give Trion the
ball.
The Bulldogs ran one play as
the half ended which saw Fit
zgerald pick up twelve yards as
the horn sounded.
MIKE CHANEY BRACES FOR COLLISION
The Bulldogs came in the se
cond half looking good. On the
first play Fitzgerald picked up
one tough yard, but Mike broke a
fourteen yard run. Fitzgerald cut
loose on the next snap for a 13
yard run. However, the fumble
bug bit again and Trion coughed
up the ball and Gilmer recovered.
Gilmer County went to their
running game and marched to
Trion’s twelve yard line. On the
twelve, Gilmer tried a pass on
third down but failed. Norman
Chastain came on and booted a 30
yard field to tie the score at 3-3.
Trion defense was led by Fit
zgerald Christopher, Steve
Johnson, Andy Kitchens, Mike
Chaney and Jerrell Farmer.
The fourth quarter saw plenty
of action but no scoring as the
game would end in a 3-3 tie. The
Bulldogs did drive to Gilmer's 29
yard line in the fourth before run
ning out of downs. On the last
play, the 'Dogs had a nice run to
Gilmer's 35 yard line but could
not get out of bounds to stop the
clock.
The 'Dogs take on Red Bud
this week in Trion for another
region contest. Trion will need all
of the support that they can get.
Please come out and support.
