Seth Lee added 90 yards and a touchdown for Gaylesville (1-5, 1-3). Tanner Eads completed all five of his pass attempts for 79 yards and a touchdown with four 2-point conversions. Kyler Bradley had 65 yards receiving and a score. Hunter Allmond intercepted two passes on defense and returned one for a 40-yard touchdown.

The Trojans have an open date next Friday. They look to make it two in a row when they host Decatur Heritage on Oct. 14. Woodville (2-4, 1-2) hosts Decatur Heritage on Oct. 7.
