Last Friday night was a resting week for many teams across the state but teams as well as many fans are ready to get back to “business as usual” this Friday, Oct. 10.
Atlanta is coming off of a perfect 5-0 pre-district record in which they outscored their opponents 231-78 and open district against the Pleasant Grove Hawks (4-1) at Hawk Stadium.
Queen City hosted Mt. Pleasant Chapel Hill on Sept. 26, in a district battle of two unbeaten teams.
Both teams began the night sitting atop the district standings tied at 4-0 but when the dust settled Queen City had swept the Lady Red Devils in straight sets, 25-10, 25-20 and 25-16.
Queen City’s volleyball team traveled to Linden on Sept. 30, to take on Linden-Kildare in a district match.
Queen City (5-0) was fresh off of a win over previously unbeaten Mt. Pleasant Chapel Hill and the Lady Tigers entered the match having grabbed a big district win over Daingerfield.
The Queen City Bulldogs were on the road last Friday, Sept. 26, to take on the Shelbyville Dragons. This was the longest road trip for the Bulldogs this season.
QC was coming off their first win of the season against Maud during Homecoming week and Shelbyville a win against Colmesneil.
Atlanta had a chance to finish 5-0 in non-district for the first time since 1991 and did so last Friday, Sept. 26, after they defeated Liberty-Eylau 56-27 in a shoving match.
When these two teams get together there is always a chance tempers will flare and because of that one L-E player was ejected from the game after a benches-clearing altercation.
The average football fan may not pay much attention to the extra point kick after a touchdown, but the Linden-Kildare Tigers (0-5) found out the hard way that those points can mean the difference in a close game, as they lost by two extra point kicks to Harleton (3-2) 14-12.
