Giles County Bobcats Keep Rolling

What Happened

The Giles County Bobcats beat Forrest 46–28. Running back Pierson Collier was unstoppable with 224 rushing yards and three touchdowns, plus 78 receiving yards and another score. Quarterback Xavier Randolph threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns on 16 attempts. Defensively, Giles County was opportunistic with three interceptions that changed field position and momentum after halftime.

Riverdale Warriors Close Out Rockvale

What Happened

Riverdale defeated Rockvale 28–14. Rockvale started fast when senior Rayene Chiha returned a 64-yard interception for a touchdown. Riverdale steadied the ship as quarterback Gavin Hampton threw for 208 yards and three touchdowns. Late in the fourth quarter, with Rockvale driving to tie, a bad snap became an 81-yard fumble return by Nate Underwood to seal the Warriors’ sixth straight win.

Momentum Monday Takeaways

• Clutch mentality: Riverdale finished a tight game with poise and execution.
