The Gatewood Gators held a slim 28-26 advantage at the end of three quarters in Eatonton Friday night, but their grip slipped in the fourth, allowing the Piedmont Academy Cougars to take a 42-28 win home to Monticello. It marked only the second win in nine games for the Cougars this year and left the Gators 4-5 with one game remaining in the regular season.
