Dallas, Hiram Sports: 'Battle of Paulding' Was a Nail-Biter

From PCSD’s “Athletic Adventures” newsletter

The Battle of Paulding is an annual contest rotated among Paulding County High Schools that was played this year between the Paulding County Patriots and the East Paulding Raiders.

It is played in memory of former PCHS Head Coach Ken Phillips.

This years game will go down as a nail biter with Paulding County pulling out a 12-10 victory as East missed a field goal at the end of the 4th quarter.

The game was a back and forth battle with both teams leaving it all on the field. The PCHS win marks the first Battle win for PCHS since 2009. MVP’s were selected for each team with the PCHS MVP being Noah Braden and the EPHS MVP going to Sonny Smith. Congratulations Patriots!
