CHICKAMAUGA, Ga. — Ringgold had to win its last three games to have a shot at making the GHSA Class AAA football playoffs.

Gordon Lee just needed to not lose a close game.

Both goals were accomplished Friday as the Tigers used a big night from Kishaun Taylor and a solid defensive performance to beat host Gordon Lee 21-7.

Ringgold (6-4, 4-3) is the No. 3 seed from Region 6, with Gordon Lee (6-4, 4-3) the No. 4 seed. The Trojans benefited from the region’s three-team tiebreaker, which is point differential between tied teams. Coahulla Creek also finished 4-3 in region play after falling to Adairsville, 28-21, and was eliminated with Ringgold having the best differential and the Colts having a head-to-head loss to Gordon Lee.
