The Cass Colonels will venture away from home to challenge the Dalton Catamounts at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Cass is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Cartersville just ended the team's six-game winning streak last Friday. They had to suffer through a 56-28 loss at the hands of the Hurricanes. While losing is never fun, the Colonels can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 69th, while the Hurricanes are ranked 17th).
Meanwhile, Dalton hadn't done well against Cedartown recently (they were 0-3 in their previous three matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Friday. The Catamounts managed a 25-20 victory over the Bulldogs.
Cass better keep an eye on Caine Woods. He was instrumental in Dalton's win, throwing for 201 yards and three TDs while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushing for 118 yards on only 12 carries. Woods has become a key player for the Catamounts: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 0-5 otherwise. 99 of Woods' passing yards were hauled in by Nash Smith.
Dalton picked up their first road win, bumping their record up to 2-6. As for Cass, their loss was their first in the region, dropping their region record down to 3-1 and their overall record down to 6-2.
Everything came up roses for Cass against Dalton when the teams last played back in October of 2024, as the team secured a 27-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Colonels since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
