TRENTON, Ga. — Gordon Lee went on the road and won a battle of wills — and a football game — Friday night.

The Trojans, facing a near-mirror image Dade County team, did pretty much everything better while earning a 19-0 victory in GHSA Region 7-A Division I play. The win moves Gordon Lee to 5-2 overall and, more importantly, 3-1 in region play.

With region foe Christian Heritage, which defeated Gordon Lee earlier this season, moving to the Class AAA-A private-school bracket for the postseason, the Trojans are now in great shape for at least a No. 2 seed and a home playoff game.

Dade drops to 2-5 overall and 1-3 in region play.

“Defensively, we had a great game plan tonight,” Gordon Lee coach Josh Groce said. “The guys did an excellent job eliminating any big plays. Every win is big, but going to Dade County is never an easy task.
