The Towns County Indians (2-2) hosted the Mount Zion Eagles (3-0) in a non-conference match up this past Friday night on a rain-soaked field.
The Indians came into the matchup with a 2-1 record after a win over Lumpkin County the prior week. With the momentum of making short work of Lumpkin, the Indians looked to continue their success, but were plagued with penalties early on and continued to plague them throughout.
Scoreless heading into the second quarter, this is where Towns penalty troubles started. After getting called on several false starts the Indians were facing a 2nd and 20 from their own 27-yard line. Towns County
The second half of play was much like the first. The rain was a huge factor in all facets of the game. The tackling was a huge issue as was the handling of the ball. The Eagles came out hungry and moved the ball as such, but then Indians Payton Ivester grabs an interception and gets brought down at the Eagles 47-yard line. Short lived the Eagles forced another fumble giving them good position. The Eagles were able to move the ball and score on the back of a 25-yard run. The PAT was missed and at nearly the end of the third quarter the Eagles took a 13-7 lead. The Indians were able to get a solid nine-yard run before the end of the third quarter.
Each team was given a chance to score and Towns did not disappoint. After finding the endzone but coming up short on the 2-PT conversion, the Eagles also were able to score and was successful with the 2-Pt conversion winning the game 21-20.
Towns will be traveling to Lakeview Academy on October 10, 2020.
