Meanwhile, after constant struggles on the road, Gate City have finally found some success away from home. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Lee, sneaking past 23-20. The victory was a breath of fresh air for Gate City as it put an end to their seven-game losing streak.

Everything went Battle's way against Gate City the last time the two teams met as they made off with a 56-27 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Battle since the team won't have home-field advantage. Watch the game and check back on MaxPreps to see if the change in venue makes a difference.
