Weekend Pigskin Roundup: Two Losses Mar Friday's Efforts

Lambert 24, Creekview 21 – It’s no easy task to take on the eighth-ranked team in the state, and should take some solace in the fact that the team had a chance to win in the last minute of the game – at least that’s the way Creekview head coach Al Morrell looks at it, according to the Cherokee Tribune. The Grizzlies fought back from a 21-point deficit at halftime to put a scare into the home team and give themselves a few building blocks to work with for the future.

Northwest Whitfield 31, Sequoyah 14 – Running back Blake Ingleton carried the ball 18 times for 134 yards rushing, but couldn’t muster enough steam to catch the visiting Bruins who for the second week in a row pasted 31 points to the scoreboard. The Chiefs are in a deep Region 7-AAAA hole at 0-3, said an article in the Cherokee Tribune.
