LENOIR CITY, TN (WLAF)- Give Campbell a touchdown pass called incomplete in the end zone and take away a kick off return for a touchdown, and it would likely have been a whole different ball game Friday night when the Cougars and Lenoir City opened the high school football season on Panther Field.

Lenoir City claimed a 43-7 non-region win in each team’s first game. LC visits its arch rival, Loudon, on Friday while Campbell heads east to Rogersville to battle the Cherokee Chiefs in a 7:30pm game.

The regular season continues Friday night at Rogersville as Campbell visits the Cherokee Chiefs.
