Here are the five biggest surprises from last week’s high school football action from across the Greater Chattanooga area:

1. Indians take down Pirates

Sequatchie County has reason to believe they are on the cusp of a very special run for not only this season, but for years to come.

The Class of 2025 through 2028 players for the Indians were a part of a middle school program that only lost three games in four years, and now they are making a major impact for Class 3A’s seventh-ranked high school varsity program.

Sophomore Gowan Brown — who has eight interceptions already in his prep career — helped Sequatchie end a seven-game skid to South Pittsburg as he and Brooks McIntyre provided a game-winning, two-point conversion stop to secure a 21-20 road victory last Friday.
