The Tigers were equally impressive on their second drive, as Jamarian Pullum scored a 15-yard rushing touchdown to put Adairsville up 14-0 midway through the first quarter.

The fourth quarter began with the Warriors tossing a short, touchdown pass to make the score 42-13, but missed the PAT. Adairsville would add a late, rushing touchdown to put the finishing touches on their victory. Adairsville had lost its previous two contests and had not won since August 25th. The Tigers, who once again have their eyes on the playoffs, got back on the right track with the dominant product many expected tonight.
