In a Friday night rivalry showdown against the Elmore County Panthers, the Tallassee Tigers came onto the field with a vendetta, clearly trying to prove something after last week’s blowout loss. Tallassee came out as a completely different team against their rivals and proved they have what it takes, defeating the Panthers, 25-9.

The atmosphere at J.E. “Hot” O’Brien was electric as the stands were packed out like it was a playoff game, despite it being only Week 2 of the season.
