The Elizabethton Cyclones paid a visit to Kodak on Friday night, looking to get back on track after a heartbreaking loss to Dobyns-Bennett last week. By the time the final horn sounded, the Cyclones left the host Northview Cougars chasing their tails, pinning a 49-20 Region 1-4A loss on the Cougars to pick up a big road win.

Elizabethton improved its overall record to 5-2 on the season, 3-0 in Region 1-4A. Northview fell to 4-4 overall.
