A week after setting the school record for points in a game, Handley’s offense found much more potent resistance in the defense of Booker T. Washington Friday in Tuskegee, and the result was a 22-9 defeat that gave Handley its earliest playoff exit since a second-round loss in 2019. Big plays in the passing game…
In the battle of the two winningest coaches in the history of Alabama high school football, No. 1 stunned No. 2 as Terry Curtis’s fourth-seeded UMS-Wright team came to Lineville and knocked off Danny Horn’s top-seeded Clay Central 7-0 in Friday’s Class 5A first-round playoff game. The two coaches drummed up a dueling defensive masterpiece…
The last time Wadley and Cedar Bluff met, Wadley lost on a heartbreaking go-ahead touchdown pass in the final minute of a 2015 playoff game. And if there’s such a thing as an exact opposite of a last-second loss, Wadley’s first-round playoff reunion with Cedar Bluff Thursday night was it. The Bulldogs led from start…
Many people love November because they see it as the start of the Christmas season. (Whether that’s actually true is up for debate. I’ll just say that your Christmas season can start whenever you believe it does. The real one starts the day after thanksgiving.) What’s not up for debate is what the month of…

Before this season, the last time Wadley won a region championship the Bulldogs went on to play in the state finals. Judging by their subdued reaction to clinching the 2023 region title with an emphatic 42-8 win over Winterboro Friday, these Bulldogs also have their eyes on a much bigger prize. “These guys right here,…
