On Friday night, the Cloudland Highlanders look to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the West Greene Buffaloes (for a complete review of the contest, check this week's Avery Journal-Times). The team they face is an improved Cosby Eagle team. The contest opens the conference slate for the 'Landers. For the ‘Landers, they must rebound as the Eagles travel to Roan Mountain for the conference opener. The Eagles are 2-0 on the season with victories over a pair of 3-A teams, Gibbs and Pigeon Forge. Last season, the ‘Landers took the victory over the Eagles 28-6 in Cosby.
“This is a tough loss but it’s not a season-ending loss,” Turbyfill said. “Last year we lost our first game then bounced back to have a good season. We’ll go back and practice then we see where we’re at. We’ve got a huge home conference game with Cosby next week. I believe we’ll be focused and ready to play.“
Kickoff is at 7:30 on Friday Night at Orr Field.
