Cougars host South Forsyth to open region slate

The football team lost 20-16 to Collins Hill on Friday night, its third consecutive loss on the year. The team put together its best defensive performance of the year, however, allowing half the number of yards it yielded in each of the first two games. Unfortunately, the offense did not back up the defense’s performance, scoring only 16 points, nearly 15 points less than its 30.5 average. On the evening, five Cougar runners combined to gain 120 yards, with Brendan Cross scoring the lone rushing touchdown and Justin Williams leading the committee with 41 yards. Cross was also efficient throwing the ball, completing 63 percent  of his passes for 165 yards and no interceptions. This week the Cougars will host South Forsyth in the team’s opening region game. … It was a long evening last Friday for the volleyball team, as it played two three-game matches, going 1-1 against Kennesaw Mountain and Columbus. The first match saw the Lady Cougars claw back to tie the score after losing the first game, but Chattahoochee would eventually fall short, losing the third game. Against Columbus, the Cougars won the first and third games.
