Atlanta (2-1) looked like a well-oiled machine last Friday night in their 31-26 win over rival Liberty-Eylau (0-4) on the Leopards’ Homecoming night.
As expected the two foes went back and forth in a game where obvious touchdown passes were dropped keeping the score close as in most cases when these two meet.

From Staff Reports

Linden-Kildare’s Junior High football teams kicked off their season last night against the Queen City Bulldogs. The white team started their scrimmage slow, but the Tigers picked it up toward the end with several long runs and a pair of TD’s by Jaquavious Birmingham and Princeton Washington. 
The blue team also struggled against the undefeated Bulldogs, allowing the Bulldogs to pull away with the win. L-K’s stand-out player, Mason Johnson, established himself a team leader. He had several solid runs and also had some big tackles on defense.

Linden-Kildare hosts the DeKalb Bears this Friday night at Jack Hetherington-Tiger Stadium. L-K (2-1) is coming off of a 66-48 win over rival Queen City while DeKalb (2-1) is coming off of a 28-17 win over Maud.
Last year the Bears defeated the Tigers 20-6, but L-K has put up 59 points and 66 points respectively on their last two opponents.
One of the main reasons for the point’s explosion has been the Tigers’ ground attack of Marcus Jones. Micah Harrison and Ja’Kevian Rose.
L-K put up 489 total yards on Clarksville, another 480 on QC and looks to continue the trend against DeKalb.

The Atlanta Lions Club held their annual scholarship golf tournament at Indian Hills Country Club on Sept. 10. 
With great weather and tremendous support from more than 50 sponsors, the nine teams battled it for top honors. The first-place team from Family Eye Care made up of Dr. Randy Cox, Steve Ware, Scott Gibson and Doug Rutland carded a 58. 
The second and third place teams both shot a 60, with the team from Bowie-Cass Electric Co-op winning in a scorecard playoff over the team from Indian Hills Country Club. 
The Bowie-Cass team consisted of Mark Boyd, Tod Corbin, Will Burris and Brad Anderson. The Indian Hills team was made up of Tommy Brown, Cody Griffin, Lonnie Griffin and Ronnie Hailey. 
The Atlanta Lions Club President, Joel Steger, won the closest to the pin, with a shot that barely missed being a hole-in-one, by just a mere 5 inches.
