CHICKAMAUGA, Ga. — Any high school football coach will tell you they want their team to be playing its best at the end of the season.
The Gordon Lee Trojans are certainly listening to their coach and looking good.
Senior quarterback Gavin Gipson had 17 carries for 207 yards and four touchdowns as he led the Trojans to a 49-14 victory over Dade County in a GHSA Region 7-AA matchup Friday on Gordon Lee’s senior night.
“They played with everything they had,” Trojans coach Josh Groce said. “They executed very well, and they played very physical football. It was awesome to see both sides.”
Up 21-7 at halftime, Gipson scored on three straight drives to allow the Trojans to get some breathing room against the Wolverines’ passing attack. He took the football around the left end untouched for 26 yards to extend the lead.
