Chatt Tech Suffers First Loss

The No. 1-ranked Golden Eagles scored their only touchdown on a 65-yard punt return.

The club football team lost its first game of the season, 30-12, on Monday on the road against the Valdosta State JV. The Golden Eagles, in the National Club Football Association coaches poll, were hindered by six turnovers in the game.

“If you turn it over that many times it’s just hard to win,” said Chatt Tech head coach in a press release. “We turned it over at crucial times. It just kills drives. It’s hard to get any momentum.”

Chatt Tech scored its only touchdown of the game on a 65-yard punt return by Morgan Alexander. Alexander also had a 34-yard punt return on the evening. The Golden Eagles first got on the scoreboard with a 32-yard field goal by Richard Kropacek. CTC also blocked a point after attempt, and Justin Owens found the opposite end zone for two points.
