TRUSSVILLE — The Hewitt-Trussville High School football team clinched the No. 2 seed in Class 7A, Region 3 — and a first-round home playoff game — with a 49-7 win over Tuscaloosa County on Friday.
The Huskies dominated from the start at Hewitt-Trussville Stadium, scoring on their opening drive and building a 35-0 lead by halftime. The win improved them to 8-2 overall and capped a strong regular-season finish. The No. 2 seed was confirmed after both Thompson and Vestavia Hills won their region finales.
The Huskies will host Opelika in the first round in two weeks.
Quarterback Zach Benedict led the offense by completing 10-of-12 passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with Dylan Cope for a 46-yard score in the first quarter and hit Dane Askins for a 3-yard touchdown just before halftime. Cope caught four passes for 77 yards, while Askins added one catch for three yards.
The ground game produced five touchdowns behind a balanced rotation. CJ Davis rushed six times for 55 yards and scored twice in the first half. Deuce Alston carried nine times for 84 yards, including a 42-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, and Tyler Wilson added 49 yards and a score on six carries.
The Huskies gained 443 total yards — 282 on the ground and 161 through the air — and did not commit a turnover. Nathan Fritz converted 6-of-6 extra point attempts, and Banks Lloyd added the final PAT.
In the contest, Deuce Alston eclipsed 2,000 career rushing yards and Parker Floyd passed 300 career tackles.
Tuscaloosa County’s lone score came on a 54-yard touchdown run by quarterback Corey Kimble late in the second half. The Wildcats were limited to 180 total yards, including just 24 passing yards.
Hewitt-Trussville is off next week before hosting its playoff opener. Tuscaloosa County (0-9) will finish its season by hosting Paul Bryant.
