The Crisp County Cougars are taking a road trip to face off against the Fitzgerald Purple Hurricane at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Last Friday, Crisp County ended up a good deal behind Lovett and lost 30-14. While losing is never fun, the Cougars can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 223rd, while the Lions are ranked 89th).
Despite their defeat, Crisp County saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Hagan Slimp, who threw for 115 yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground, was perhaps the best of all.
Meanwhile, Fitzgerald couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They took a 19-13 hit to the loss column at the hands of Irwin County.
