The 91st Battle of ‘79 was truly a battle this past Friday night in Thrall with the home team scoring the only touchdown in overtime to beat Thorndale 42-35.
For the Milano football team, Friday night ended with the Eagles jumping in front of Iola in the playoff picture when they defeated the home team 35-22.
Trailing by a touchdown to Academy on their final drive, the Rockdale Tiger football team was in a sink-or-swim situation with a five-yard penalty and a little more than two minutes left in the game at their own 33-yard line.
After a two-week stretch of taking on teams that have a great chance of heading to the post-season, the 7-1 Thorndale Bulldogs were host to Bruceville-Eddy Friday night, a 1-6 team that lost their first two district contests to Hearne and Thrall by a combined 78 points.
