High school football is officially back in the Gadsden area this week, folks! While some AHSAA teams started last week, our Gadsden crews are just now strapping up. Get ready, because this season is kicking off with massive changes already rocking the league.
The Game Just Got ROCKED
We’re talking a total seismic shift in Alabama high school football! The biggest shakeup? That wild public-private split. They created two whole new classes and *got rid of 7A*. GONE! This isn’t just a tweak, it’s a complete re-ordering of everything. The regular season runs through October, then it’s straight into November for playoffs. And the championships? December 1-5 down in Mobile. It’s gonna be wild seeing how these new classes impact the road to a title!
Week 1 Kicks Off With Rivalry Fire
So, who’s ready to tear it up? Hokes Bluff leads the charge, squaring off against Southside on Thursday. Westbrook Christian hits the road to Ashville. But you know the real heat comes from those traditional rivalries, right? Cherokee County is jumping straight into it against Piedmont, and Sand Rock is ready to throw down with Spring Garden. These battles set the tone for the entire year!
Sollie’s Auburn Commitment Makes Waves
And talk about big moves: Gadsden City Quarterback Sam Sollie officially committed to Auburn University back on August 8. That’s a huge deal for their program and puts a major spotlight on what Sollie’s bringing to the field this season. How’s that for firing up a team? Get ready, Gadsden, because this season is officially underway, and it’s gonna be a must-watch from start to finish!
