CHICKAMAUGA, Ga. – Jarrett Gill’s final stats from Friday night won’t create a buzz across the state of Georgia – 4-of-13 passing for 87 yards – but his right arm will be crucial for Trion this season.

It already paid a huge dividend in the opener as the sophomore first-year starting quarterback hit two big early passes against a pressing Gordon Lee defense to lead the Bulldogs to a 19-7 road win.

“We were able to throw the ball,” said Trion coach Justin Brown when asked to name the game’s key. “I can’t say enough about Jarrett Gill. Being able to throw it kept them off us some, and that first pass completion was big.
