BELTON — Back on Oct. 20, Chilton High School varsity football traveled to Granger High School as the undefeated No. 4 ranked team in all of Class 2A-2 and were heavy favorites. The Lions pulled off an incredible upset at home with a thrilling 17-14 victory over the Pirates with a long field goal by junior kicker Jose Valverde as time expired in the fourth quarter.
That was the Pirates’ only loss of the 2023 season up to now and this team was very hungry to avenge that loss to the Lions. From the very start of the 2A-2 regional semifinals at Tiger Field in Belton last Friday, Chilton had Granger’s number as the Lions were dealt a lopsided 45-0 loss to the Pirates.
