Wow.

To put this in perspective, this was the worst loss LaGrange has suffered since the 1983 state championship game where the Grangers fell to Tift County 59-6. This is the worst shutout loss the Grangers had since Athens in 1927.

Carrollton's opening drive went 80 yards finished by a one yard quarterback sneak by AJ Barge for a touchdown. LaGrange went three and out and Carrollton would march down the field again. 48 yards in five plays ended in six points when Broderick Snoddy ran six yards into the end zone. LaGrange converted on one third down the next drive, but they would stall at the 40. The Trojans would go 64 yards, the last 20 on a run by Dallas Dickey. 21-0. LaGrange would punt and Carrollton only needed two plays on their next drive. A 61 yard TD catch from brother to brother, AJ Barge to Josh Barge, and the Trojans were up by 28. The teams exchanged punts and Carrollton would need one play with 1:46 left in the half. A 50 yard catch by Telvin Brown gave Carrollton another touchdown. Demoton Boyd fumbled on the Grangers' second play of the drive and carrollton needed only three plays to go 15 yards. It was Barge to Barge again and Carrollton went into the locker room leading 42-0. LaGrange went three and out on the first drive of the second half and Carrollton went 56 yards for their final touchdown. A five yard Telvin brown run capped off the five play drive and neither team scored again. 49-0 Trojans.

Thankfully, the Grangers have a week off before hosting the Central Lions from Carroll County. Needless to say there will be some soul searching and work to be done before LaGrange takes the field again.
