Gilmer County does not have an A team, so officially Calhoun received a 6-0 forfeit win and moves to 3-0 on the season. Just like last week the Devils A team faced not having a game, so we found them a scrimmage so they could play. So on Saturday August 26th Calhouns A team travelled to Roane county to face the Little Raiders. Calhoun came away from the scrimmage with a 27-0 victory. Offensively Tyler Mayle led the Devils with 12 carries for 154 yards with 2 rushing touchdowns (19 and 71 yards), Mayle also had 3 receptions for 9 yards which included an extra point.
