The Chattahoochee Tech club football team improved to 4-0 on the season by coasting to a 33-3 victory over the Shorter JV squad. The Golden Eagles, ranked No. 1 in the latest National Club Football Association coaches poll, answered an early Hawks field goal with a second-quarter touchdown run by Paul Walton from 20 yards out.
From there, the Golden Eagles defense would control the line of scrimmage, consistently pouring through the Hawks offensive line to stop their Wing-T offense.
“Defensively, we got settled in on the second series,” said CTC head coach Tim Freeman. “We started to dominate the line of scrimmage. Against the Wing-T, penetration is the most important thing. I was very happy with the defense.”
Chatt Tech added to the lead in the second quarter on a 37-yard interception return for a touchdown by Michael Troutman-Brown to take a 13-3 lead at halftime.
CTC came out firing again in the second half, getting TD runs of 4 and 35 yards from Alex Camp. With under a minute to go in the game, Justin Baker intercepted a tipped pass deep in Shorter territory and returned the pick to the 4-yard line. Two plays later, Troy Brumfield took it in from 1 yard out to cap the scoring.
“We did a great job on offense,” Freeman said. “We had great execution on plays. I think we’re really starting to settle in. It takes the offense a little longer to jell, but we’re starting to come together.”
Chattahoochee Tech concludes a run of four home games to open the season, and will travel to Birmingham, Ala., to play the Birmingham Southern JV team next Sunday at 1 p.m. The Golden Eagles play three straight times on the road before the first annual homecoming game on Sunday, Oct. 30 against Rollins College.
