With the contest originally scheduled for Greenhill Stadium in Memphis, Craigmont (7-2, 3-2 in District 14-AAA) agreed to play the game in Millington for safety precautions. And the Chiefs made themselves at home on the first play of the game when quarterback Logan Schaar found wide out Ricky Herron for a 67-yard TD pass.
