GENERALS

-

any more points on the board until early in the second half when Gabe Ogle scored on a five-yard run to make it 147. Later in the third quarter, Hanson fired a pass to Logan Lowe across the middle. Lowe broke a tackle and raced 33 yards to the end zone while Britton’s kick made it 21-7.

With the Heritage offense now rolling, the Generals took to the air again. Hanson once again found Lowe, this time on a fade route, for a 13-yard touchdown to

increase the Generals’ lead to 28-7 with eight minutes to play in the game.

Chattooga would answer with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Cash Allen to Jamarious Mosteller to pull back within two scores with four minutes to play. However, Heritage would recover the onside kick and Hanson would put the game away on a nine-yard keeper with less than two minutes to go.

The Indians would tack on one final touchdown in the waning seconds as Allen and Mosteller connected on a 78-yard touchdown pass.

“I think we executed a little bit better tonight,”

Slaughter said. “The coaches made some great adjustment­s on the defensive side, which made a whole lot of difference.”

Ogle, the senior running back, had a career-high 167 yards on 23 carries, while Rose picked up 72 yards and added a sack on defense. Hanson was 11-of18 in the air for 144 yards and two scores, both to Lowe, who had six catches for 76 yards.

Heritage will face Pepperell (1-1) in Lindale this Friday night.

It will be the final game for the Generals prior to the start of Region 6-AAAA play on Sept. 27.
