Villa Rica Bops Chattooga,
14-12 In Season’s Opener
By JIMMY ESPY
The Chattooga Indians
opened their 1981 football
campaign in less than grand
fashion, losing 14-12 at the
hands of the Villa Rica
Wildcats. The near evenly
matched squads kept it close
for much of the game, but a
pair of third quarter Wildcat
touchdowns and conversions
decided the contest.
Neither team managed a
score in the first half. Both
teams appeared to be gettin
the feel of the game and eacfi
other as this was each team's
season og;ener.
The first big break of the
game came on Villa Rica’s se
cond possession. Chattooga
linebacker Jack Ledford step
ped in front of a Wildcat pass
and returned it to the opposi
tion's 45 yard line. A 15 yard
roughin%l the passer penalty
moved the ball to the 30 yard
line and set up a 1 yard dive
by Regan Black. An in
complete pass on second down
was followed by an 8 yard run
by Black which brought up
the young season's first
crucial ?lay. Chattooga then
got the first down on a 2 yard
last by Black to the 19.
Fullback Jay Wilson quickly
added a yard to the 18. Junior
3uarterback Kip Allen then
ropped back and hit senior
flanker Will Hair with an 18
yard TD pass. However, a bit
of movement in the offensive
line was detected by an official
and the Indian’s first score of
1981 was called back. Allen
was forced to scramble on the
following play and Eicked up
six yards. Facing a third down
and 8 at the 17 yard line Chat
tooga again went to the air at
tack, but a pair of passes fail
ed to connect and Villa Rica
took over at their own 17.
A Wildcat fumble at mid
field provided second ex
cellent scoring opportunity
for the Indians but the drive
was cut short by an intercep
tion deep in Wildcat territory.
The only other bi§ play of
the first half was a fine pass
interception by Chattooga
defensive back Greg Day.
Villa Rica had possession
to open the secon(f half and
immediately went to work. A
single pass glay. a five yard
penalty on Chattooga, and six
crunching running plays set
up an 8 yard TD blast that
capped the veri; impressive 84
Kard drive. The extra point
ick was good.
Chattooga was unable to
generate much offense on the
following possession and Villa
Rica quickly took over at their
own 31. At first the Wildcats
appeared to have completely
forgotten what they had
known only so well on their
revious drive, but then
Eghtning struck. The Wildcat
quarterback calmly dumped
off a screen pass to his left and
watched as his receiver and
three lead blockers did the
rest. 78 yards later the
Wildcats had a 13-0 lead. The
extra point was good and Villa
Rica was up 14-0 and ap
peared to be on the verge of
routing the Indians.
But, Chattooga did not roll
over and die as a team with
less character would. On the

12-6 Victory
By GENE MARTIN
The Trion Bulldogs march
ed into LaFayette Friday
night to do battle with the
Ramblers and came away with
a hard-earned 12-6 victory.
There was no doubt that the
%ame was a defensive game.
his, the second year in a row,
that Trion defeated
LaFayette.
The Ramblers took the
ogening kickoff and set up
their big offense machine at
their 22 yard line. Chuck
Pruett struck first for the
Ramblers for one yard. Greg
West followed with a four
yard gainer. On the next play
quarterback Brad Patterson
connected with Sherman Sut
tles for sixteen yards. Tony
Burse carried the ball three
times straight and picked up a
total of seventeen yards and a
first down. Sherman Suttles
hit the line next and moved
the ball nearly three yards.
Tony Burse tried the line
again and couldn’t go a full
yard. On fourth down and two
yards to go, Tony Burse was
stof)ped for no gain and the
ball had to go over to the
Bulldogs on downs.
Taking over on their 35
yard line, the Bulldogs had a
chance to show off their offen
sive talent. On the first two
snaps, Jerrell Farmer col
lected eleven gards and a first
down. Fitz Christopher pro
duced six yards on the next
play. Jerrell Farmer helped
out on the next play as he
gained two yards. After a five

?ossession immediately
ollowing the Wildcat's se
cond touchdown, the Indians
mounted a drive of their own.
An excellent kick return by
Greg Day gave Chattooga
control at the Wildcat 34. A
&a,lir of good runs by Jay
ilson gained 13 yards and
Regan Black added a 12 yard
scamper of his own. Sandy
Shook, carrying the ball for
the first time in the game,
then bolted 9 yards for a
touchdown. The Indians at
tempted a two-point conver
sion but tailback Regan Black
was stopped just short of the
end zone.
The Chattooga defense,
sparked by the squad's first
points, came alive and shut
down Villa Rica. A short punt
gave Chattooga the ball at the
Wildcat - 48. Kip Allen im
mediately went to the air and
found his top notch receiver
Will Hair who made a magnifi
cent, leaping, juggling recep
tion at the 26 yard line. Regan
Black then broke off the best
run of his short career as a
running back, spinning off a
hard hit by a Wildcat defender
and darting 26 yards for a
touchdown. The Indians again
went for the two-point conver
sion and appeared to try
almost the same play that had
failed on the earlier attempt.
Regan Black was once again
stopped by a swarm of
defenders, just short of
paydirt.
The Indian defense again
throttled the Wildcat offense
and it appeared that the vic
tory was only a drive away for
the Indians. However, a 15
yard penalty wiped out the
next Chattooga possession.
But, Villa Rica returned the
favor by getting hit with a 15
yard penalty for too many
men on the field, returning
ball control to the Indians at
the Villa Rica 49.
This appeared to be Chat
tooga's golden opportunity to
win the contest, but a tough
Villa Rica pass rush over
Opens
yard penalty, Kenny Gilreath
dashed for eleven yards and
another first down. Jerrell
Farmer carried the ball next
for five big yards. Kenn
Gilreath came back witi;
seven more yards plus a first
down. With a first down deep
in LaFayette's territory, Fitz
Christopher banged out seven
big yards. The next play saw
Christopher come up just
short of a first down. On third
down and less than a yard,
Kenny Gilreath scooteg for
ten yards and another first
down. Jerrell Farmer carried
the ball next to get inside the
ten yard line. Kenny Gilreath
managed to . .get to
LaFayette's seven yard line
on his next carry. As time ran
out in the first quarter, Kenny
rambled seven yards and
scored as the horn sounded.
The try for the PAT was off
the mark, but Trion led 6-0.
The Ramblers took the
kickoff and set up operation at
their 23 yard line. Brad Pat
terson dashed for five yards
on the first play. After Tony
Burse failed to pick up any
yardage, Brad Patterson gain
ed eight yards. Following a
five yard penalty, Brad Pat
terson rambled for ten yards.
On second down, Patterson
passed to Sherman Suttles for
thirteen yards. Tony Burse
added two more yards on the
next snap. After two in

whelmed the Indian offensive
line and Kip Allen was sacked
twice for 20 yards in losses.
Allen got off the ground and
delivered a fine 55 yard punt
to the 7.
With time growing short,
the Wildcats did what was
necessary and pounded out a
pair of time-consuming first
downs before being forced to
punt.
The Indians, now
desperate for forward move
ment, were hit with a 15 yard
genalty that pushed them
ack to their own 28. A five
yard Allen to Greg Day pass
‘was far too little to help much
and the three subsequent
passes all fell incomplete.
Villa Rica took over and ran
out the clock with a single
play, preserving a shaky 14-12
triumph.
The Chattooga offense was
inconsistent at best Friday
night. Occasionally the runn
ing game showed signs of
cranking up but there was
very little sustained attack.
The passing game was
hampered by inadequate pass
protection from the line, but
that must be expected from so
young a unit.
The defense played fairly
well and came up with some
big plays, a trademark of past
Chattooga defensive units.
However, there were several
breakdowns, the most notable
occurring on the 78 yard
screen pass that turned out to
be the winning tally. Regan
Black and Sandy Shook led
the way in tackles, both are
linebackers.
Regan Black was also the
top rusher for Chattooga, net-
Liné; 69 yards on 13 carries
and scoring once.

eligibility shown in the scale
nearby.
Children from families
whose income is at or below
the levels shown are eligible
for free or reduced price meals.
Application forms are be

In certain cases, foster
children are also eligible for
these benefits. If you have

meals for them, you should
contact the school.
If a family member
