First the good news.

The Grayson Rams got zero yards passing against the Chattahoochee Cougars Friday night at Britt-Moody Field in Loganville.

The bad news is The Rams did not throw a pass in the entire game. They didn't have to. Using a punishing running attack, Grayson rolled up 34 unanswered points in an easy 34-0 first round playoff win over Chattahoochee.

"The outcome of this game was never in doubt, I didn't think once the game got started," said Cougar Head Coach Terry Crowder, after the dust had cleared.

The Chattahoochee Cougars, ranked ninth in the state, winners of seven out of eight games, and poised to clinch the sub-region title, lost a heartbreaker to the Centennial Knights on Friday night, 20-18.

It was the way Chattahoochee lost that had the Cougar Nation second-guessing Head Coach Terry Crowder. With not one, but two of the region’s best field goal kickers on the roster, Crowder elected to go for it on fourth-and-goal from the Centennial one-yard line with 2:12 to go in the game, and trailing by two points.

It took only four plays for the Raiders to jump out to a quick 7-0 lead before most of the sellout crowd could settle in their seats. All four of the plays were passes; the last, from quarterback Matt Robinson to wide receiver Chad Christopher, covered the final twenty yards of a lightning-fast sixty yard drive.

Chattahoochee High School’s head football coach Terry Crowder called his team together just seconds after the Cougars won their season opener 35-3 over the Murphy, NC Bulldogs.

As the team gathered around him in the shadow of the goalposts, Crowder wasted no time getting his message out. “We’re going down there to win.”
