Highlander Gameday: Thursday Night Treat

The Highlanders travel to Hampton tonight for a showdown with their rival Bulldogs. These two neighbors will leave it all on the field as Cloudland tries to avenge last season's loss at Orr Field. Both teams are coming off heartbreaking losses last weekend, and a win will be a morale boost as the TSSAA playoffs starts next week. When these two rivals take the field, you can throw out the records, because both teams will be giving all that they have. For three hours, it is an intense hard hitting affair, and there is no place better to be for fans of these two teams.

Thursday’s game has major playoff implications for the 'Landers. If the 'Landers defeat the Bulldogs, they will take the third seed, while a loss will place the 'Landers in the fourth seed. Cloudland will face either
Oneida or Greenback in the first round of the playoffs. Oneida and Greenback square off this week to decide their conference championship as both teams currently sit with a perfect 9-0 record.

Kickoff is set for Thursday night in Hampton at 7:30pm.
