Chattahoochee Tech, in its second year as a club football program, took over the No. 1 ranking in the National Club Football Association coaches poll this week. The Golden Eagles, a 40-0 winner over the Columbus State club team on Sunday, is 3-0 on the season heading into the team's game with the Shorter junior varsity squad this coming Monday.
"It’s exciting. It’s very exciting to be on top of your league," said head coach Tim Freeman. "Words can’t describe it. We’ve worked so hard over the last two years and to get a number one ranking is really special.”
Chatt Tech has beaten two NCFA opponents in Columbus State and Orangeburg-Calhoun Tech, which the Golden Eagles defeated 23-20 in two overtimes on Sept. 18. In the season opener, CTC took down NAIA Point University, 38-6.
The previous No. 1-ranked team and 2010 national champion, University of New Orleans, lost two weeks ago to NAIA Concordia College and last weekend to Orangeburg-Calhoun, paving the way for the Golden Eagles' top ranking. CTC hosts New Orleans at Osborne High School in the last game of the season on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 2:30 p.m.
After the Wednesday coaches poll was published, Freeman spoke about the importance of the final game against UNO.
“When we scheduled that game at the beginning of the year, we were hoping that it set up for New Orleans to be ranked high and for us to be ranked high at that time," he said. "So hopefully we’ll be able to run the table for the rest of the season.”
The Golden Eagles' game against Shorter is at 6 p.m. at Osborne High School, and tickets are $7 for adults, free for students and faculty with ID, and free for children 12 and under.
