Tallassee hits the gridiron after a bye last week, taking on region rival Cleburne County at J.E. “Hot” O’Brien Stadium. The Tigers are looking to make up ground in AHSAA Class 4A Region 3 as they currently sit in fourth place.

Two weeks ago, the Tallassee Tigers suffered a heartbreaking loss on the road at Bullock County, losing by a last-second touchdown among a final quarter of serious injury and controversy. 

After the game, Tallassee coach L.A. O’Neal was tight-lipped and stoic. He promised the Tigers would be a different team after the week-long break. Now, the Tigers hit the gridiron once again, this time back at J.E. “Hot” O’Brien Stadium, taking on another region rival Cleburne County.
