Paul Bryant Stampede

After several teams took the week off last week to prepare for the second half of the schedule, most of Tuscaloosa county is back and ready for more area play. Three different 6A Region 4 matchups might be the difference makers for teams to make a playoff run. In addition, several surprise teams have matchups that could affect their comeback seasons.

The Paul Bryant High Stampede (1-4, 0-3) got the first win of the season tonight against the Holt Ironmen (1-4, 0-3) and gave themselves a chance for the playoffs.

The McAdory Yellow Jackets (1-3, 1-0) started region play off on the right foot, defeating the Paul Bryant Stampede (0-4, 0-2) tonight 18-8. The victory gives the Yellow Jackets its first win of the season.

While the thermometer still registers in the high-eighties, going into week four makes it feel more and more like fall and football season. Not all Tuscaloosa-area schools are competing in area matchups, but there are still some big games to look out for.

Week two of Alabama high school football season is in the books, so that means one thing- area play. Nearly every high school in west Alabama is taking on an area foe, and TIDE 100.9 will be covering it.
