LaFayette

The Georgia Region 7-AAA tennis tournament will start Wednesday morning at Lakeshore Tennis Courts in Dalton.

Devarus Porter knows what it's like to be an underdog. When you're 5-foot-7 and a few biscuits shy of 170 pounds, it's hard to be taken seriously on the football field.

Matt Land may be a rookie head coach, but his philosophy on football is old school. When your team needs a big play, let your star lead the way.

For critics who believe the Ridgeland offense was missing a few pieces during the first few weeks of the football season, Friday night’s 41-14 Region 7-AAA win over LaFayette should further shelve such talk.

Before her first at-bat Tuesday, Ridgeland’s Kara Goins wasn’t feeling it. Instead of fretting over it, the senior deferred to a higher power. Following a quick prayer, Goins lofted a two-run homer that helped propel the Lady Panthers to a 4-3 softball win over LaFayette.

Thursday marked the start of the biggest seven days of the high school softball season for the LaFayette Lady Ramblers, and if the 10-9 Region 7-AAA win over Ringgold is any indication, it could be a wild one.

After a sluggish opening-week loss, Trion football coach David Humphreys went Olivia Newton-John on his team during practice this week.
