After Friday night's 35-14 road win against Stone Memorial, East Ridge coach Tim James could be called "the Gambler".
The Pioneers opened the game with not one, but two successfully executed (recovered) on sides kicks and later scored touchdowns after each recovery for a 14-0 lead and never looked back.
