There was another red-blue rivalry renewal in Chattanooga on Friday night.
The blue-and-white Red Bank Lions sprinted to an early lead, took the red-and-black Signal Mountain Eagles’ comeback haymaker and responded with big play after big play for an impressive 34-15 road victory in a Region 3-4A game.
“After what we have been through, every win is a good win,” Red Bank coach Ted Gatewood said. “We’ve had a lot of self-destructive issues, but our kids rebounded and overcame this against a good, well-coached Signal team.”
Friday was not without some more self-inflicted wounds for Gatewood’s team via penalties and two second-half turnovers, but the Lions (2-4, 2-0) showed poise and purpose.
And an array of playmakers.
