The Habersham Central Raiders closed out their season tonight with a disappointing loss to the Chattahoochee Cougars in front of a home crowd at Raider Stadium in Mt. Airy.
Early in the 4th quarter the Raiders were down 35-14. As the clock ticked down the Raiders got down to business. Michael Babers ran for an 83-yard touchdown with a little over six minutes left in the game to move the Raiders to within striking distance. Mason Kinsey intercepted the ball a few downs later and the Raiders were off to the races. After Kinsey scored on a 20-yard run with 5:17 left in the game the Raiders were just one touchdown away from tying it up but time ran out before they could.
Final Score 35-28 Cougars.
This was the last game of the season for the Habersham Central High School Raiders and last high school football game for the seniors. They end the season 1-9 overall, 1-8 in the region.
