Games of Sept. 28
(All kickoffs at 7:30 unless noted)
Signal Mountain (3-3, 2-0) at Notre Dame (5-1, 2-0)
An early peek: High-flying Notre Dame was held to its lowest point production of the year last Friday in a 23-13 win over Lookout Valley, while Signal’s Eagles had to score 55 to secure a one-point win over South Pittsburg, the state’s top-ranked Class 1A team. That allowed the Eagles to get to .500 for the first time this year, but it also proved they are indeed growing and getting better as coach Bill Price has preached all season. Notre Dame might be without standout freshman Ricky Ballard, who rushed for 201 yards and three TDs before suffering a shoulder injury against Lookout Valley. A major key for the game will be the performance of the Eagles’ offensive line against the Irish’s front seven.
