GLEASON (November 1) — The Gleason Bulldogs took their ninth loss of the season Friday night against the South Fulton Red Devils. It was a battle of pride between the two teams, as neither team had a chance to advance to the TSSAA playoffs. Cold temperatures only added to struggles of the Bulldogs who were outmanned by the Red Devils 54-8.
To open the game, South Fulton caught Gleason off guard with an onside kick. The Red Devils recovered the kick. Six plays into the drive, South Fulton found their way into the end zone. Dalton Gray who scored the touchdown also added two points with the conversion. With 9:18 still in the first quarter, South Fulton led 8-0.
The Red Devils were able to recover a second onside kick. Just like the previous drive, it took six plays for the touchdown. This time the TD and conversion was by Greg Davis. South Fulton enlarged their lead 16-0.
Gleason’s next series ended in a three-and-out. The high punt left South Fulton 60 yards away from the goal line. A couple good passes from Bryce McFarland to Eli Carlisle added a touchdown and two-point conversion. The Red Devils led the Bulldogs 24-0 with less than two minutes to play in the first quarter.
