GORDONSVILLE SHUTS OUT OWLS
After a roller coaster ride of events filled the week leading up to the annual rivalry clash between the Smith County High Owls and the Gordonsville High Tigers, the two inter-county adversaries finally took to the gridiron in an unusual Saturday night meeting.

The game was pushed back to a Saturday night tilt in Carthage after the remnants of Hurricane Laura threatened to bring severe weather to the area last Friday night.
