GRAND SALINE — Four quarters weren’t enough for Friday night’s battle between Grand Saline and Edgewood, but eventually, the Indians pulled out their fourth straight win in a 33-27 victory over Edgewood.

Ollison ran the ball 32 times for 157 yards and two touchdowns. Truett carried the ball 23 times for 150 yards.

Edgewood’s Kevin Davis racked up 69 yards on the ground while quarterback Ethan Rutter completed 17 of 34 passes for 238 yards and a touchdown.
