Friday means gameday for the Hewitt-Trussville and Clay-Chalkville high school football teams.
Under the Lights and Cahaba Sun has you covered from the gridiron, as Hewitt-Trussville travels to Tuscaloosa County and Clay-Chalkville heads to Pinson Valley, as both teams wrap up region play.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. for both games.
Here's what you need to know:
Hewitt-Trussville (7-2) at Tuscaloosa County (0-8)
- Date: Friday, Oct. 25
- Time: 7 p.m.
- Location: Tuscaloosa County High School
Last week: Hewitt-Trussville shut out Oak Mountain 63-0; Tuscaloosa County fell to Vestavia Hills 42-0.
What to watch: Hewitt-Trussville will look to win an eighth game in the regular season for the third time in the last five years. The Huskies should be able to do so against a struggling County team.
Last meeting: Hewitt-Trussville beat Tuscaloosa County 42-7 on Sept. 15, 2023. The Huskies have won eight of nine previous meetings.
Next week: Hewitt-Trussville takes an open date before the playoffs; Tuscaloosa County travels to Paul Bryant.
Clay-Chalkville (7-1) at Pinson Valley (1-7)
- Date: Friday, Oct. 25
- Time: 7 p.m.
- Location: Willie Adams Stadium – Pinson Valley High
Last week: Clay-Chalkville fell to Oxford 21-10; Pinson Valley lost to Pell City 48-39.
What to watch: Clay-Chalkville will be looking to rebound from its first loss of the season against a longtime rival. These two teams squared off twice in the state semifinals in 2017 and 2018 in the heyday of the rivalry. Pinson Valley is in a rebuilding mode right now, though, so the Cougars should be able to get back on track this week.
Last meeting: Clay-Chalkville shut out Pinson Valley 41-0 on Sept. 15, 2023. Clay-Chalkville holds a 13-7 edge in the series.
Next week: Clay-Chalkville travels to Vestavia Hills; Pinson Valley hosts Hueytown.
