Game: Played Thursday December 5, 2002 at Legion Field, Birmingham
Summary:
Clay County won their second
state championship in three years and fifth
overall by defeating Autaugaville 29-0. The Panthers' defense registered its ninth shutout of the year, including four in five playoff games.

used good field position to grab a 15-0 halftime lead. The
defense held up in the second half and the Panthers were crowned
champions again with another stingy defensive effort.
