Clarke Central High School varsity football right wing Tez Long, a junior, scores a touchdown in the first quarter against North Oconee High School on Sept. 4. The Gladiators competed against the Titans in their home field, Titan Stadium and lost with a score of 17-10. “Obviously losing any game hurts, but we can take a lot of positives from that game. We didn’t play our best, and we still had a chance to win it at the end against a very good North Oconee team,” CCHS varsity football running backs coach Jack Mangel said. “It also gave us great experience in a playoff type atmosphere/game. Once we learn how to win those types of games we are going to be scary. We have a great team and a chance to do something special this year.” Photos by Henry Cain and Iliana Tejada, story by Iliana Tejada and Lea D’Angelo
