Bears lose to Grayson

If the Fort Chiswell Pioneers didn’t know who Korey Kennedy was, they do now. He chalked up 209 yards rushing this past Friday night as the Bland County Bears handed Fort Chiswell its eighth loss of the season, 48-21 at the Fort.

Even though the Rural Retreat Middle School football team lost a close game to Glenvar Thursday night, the team has already assured itself of having an excellent season.
Glenvar defeated RRMS 42-35, but that was only the second loss of the season for the Indians.

Even though the final outcome wasn’t decided until the final seconds were ticking away, Bland County’s Bears can boast that the critical mistakes that plagued the team in its loss to Holston the week before, were nowhere to be seen last week against Eastern Montgomery.
