Fulton vs. Rutledge- The Series
Fulton
and Rutledge will meet for the sixth time tonight at Optimist Field.
Fulton has won all five previous meetings in the series, and has won
both games played at Rutledge. The series dates back to 1995 when both
schools were members of Region 2-3A. Fulton won the first meeting in the
series 21-14 on September 29, 1995. The Falcons led 15-14 after one
quarter in the game on the strength of two Brian Tate touchdowns. The
offensive fireworks slowed down during the rest of the game, as the
Falcons finally put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter
on a 27-yard touchdown pass to Sean Heath from Falcon QB Wayne Austin.
The Falcons finished the 1995 season in second place in Region 2-3A, and
upset Seymour in the first round of the TSSAA playoffs.

Last Time Out
Fulton’s
3-game home stand ended on a sour note last Friday night as the
undefeated Lenoir City Panthers defeated Fulton 21-6 at Bob Black Field.
The Falcons jumped on the scoreboard first in the game on a 68-yard TD
pass from Jaren Troutman to Elliott Bishop on Fulton’s first play of the
game. Lenoir City bounced back on a 48 yard TD run by fullback Chris
Cousins. The Panthers took a 7-6 lead into halftime and never trailed
again. Fulton was held to 28 rushing yards in the game while Lenoir City
ran the ball 49 times for 221 yards.

Fulton Football webpage is located at
www.fultonfootball.com. The
site is growing everyday and is a great source of information on the
Falcons. Surfers can access current team news and updates, along with a
large photo gallery. Historical information about the Falcons can be
found also. The website is also featuring a brief video clip of
highlights from Fulton’s state championship victory over Covington.
