Week Six of the 2025 football season is in the history books. Region play resumes this week for most every team. Here are a few tidbits from this past week's games.

   *    We appreciate the fans listening to our Podcast each week and want you to know we will be a little late this week due to scheduling conflicts.  We should have the podcast uploaded later Sunday night.

   *   Look for the Barber Shop Guru predictions on Tuesday along with the usual content at AHSFHS.org. You can test your luck in beating them by joining us in the forums.

   *   More games than usual were cancelled for various reasons. Pickens County vs. Gordo, Ariton at Dale County, Headland at Ashford, B.T. Washington at Bowdon GA and Pike Liberal Arts at Notasulga. That is the most cancellations in one week since Covid.

   *   IMG Academy knocked off Central Phenix City 49-14.  Overall the AHSAA schools are 22-15 against other states.  Here are the records against neighboring states.  Georgia (3-6), Florida (11-9), Mississippi (6-0), Tennessee (1-0) and South Carolina (1-0).  There are a handful of out of state games on the slate this week.

   *  Let's start this off with some comeback wins.  Mountain Brook needed a Hail Mary on a two-point conversion attempt to defeat Homewood in overtime 25-24. I'm sure most of you have seen the video of the dramatic ending by now.

   *  More comeback wins. Opelika used a goal line stand with a couple of minutes remaining to defeat Pike Road 24-22.  Madison Academy fell behind 28-14 to Arab before coming all the way back to win 35-27. 

   *  In the game of the week Clay-Chalkville took down 7A Thompson 28-24 in another great game between these two powerhouse football programs.  The Cougars continue their mastery of the Warriors for the third straight year.

   *  Who does not appreciate an upset or two? Falkville upset Colbert Heights 22-12 after being a 19 point underdog. Gadsden City did the same to Bob Jones as a 17 point underdog and Mountain Brook, a 16 point underdog to Homewood, won in unbelievable fashion to say the least 25-24.

   *  How about impressive wins?  Good Hope enjoyed a big victory over Addison 41-6. Spain Park got past James Clemens 28-7.  UMS-Wright took down T.R. Miller 29-6. Central Clay County beat Scottsboro 26-9.  Wadley surprised Glenwood 35-21.

   *  Close games?  The Hoover Bucs got back on the winning track with a huge 48-45 win over Parker. Daphne broke open a close game to end a four game losing streak to Spanish Fort by a score of 42-28. Hillcrest Tuscaloosa got past Hueytown 27-26.

   *  The offenses were clicking for a few teams. By now everyone knows Williamson simply destroyed what was left of the murphy football program by a score of 100-0. The last time a team in Alabama scored 100 points in a game was in 1970 when Keith pulled it off in a 122-0 win over Alabama Industrial.

   *  Fyffe has been ranked by the ASWA for an amazing 181 consecutive polls dating back to the 2009 season. The Red Devils opened the 2025 season as the #3 team in 3A before dropping to #7 last week.

   *   Wadley has the state's longest winning streak currently at nineteen games. The Bulldogs defeated 3A Glenwood 35-21 last week.

   *   Columbia holds onto the longest losing streak at 96 straight setbacks. The Eagles led much of the game against East Lawrence before losing 28-24. Keep fighting Columbia. They hold the all-time record for consecutive losses.

   *   Demopolis owns a string of 29 consecutive region victories. The Tigers return to region play Friday hosting Shelby County. Reeltown with a string of 26 straight region wins is next up.

   *   Columbia has also lost 57 consecutive region games.

   *   West Morgan has won 29 straight regular season games following an open date last week. The Rebels host East Lawrence Friday evening.

   *   Saraland, ranked #2 in 6A, have reeled off a string of 35 consecutive home victories.

   *   Saraland also has the longest away winning streak with 15 consecutive road wins. They will travel to Baldwin County following an open date last week.

   *   Fyffe has returned to doing what Fyffe does.  They are currently sitting on a string of 338 games without being shutout. The Red Devils took the week off and will be traveling to Sylvania this week in hopes of keeping that streak alive. T.R. Miller sits atop this list with a string of 354 games.

   *   Coach Rush Propst and his Conquerors defeated 6A Blount for the 300th win in his storied career in Alabama and Georgia. In Alabama his record stands at 181-72 over the course of twenty-one seasons. In Georgia his teams went 119-47 in a dozen seasons. Overall in both states he is 300-119 in thirty-three seasons as a head football coach at nine different schools.

   *   Coach Bryan Moore at Opelika joined the 100 win club last Friday as the Opelika Bulldogs defeated Pike Road 24-222 in a close game. His record at Eufaula, Jasper, Hartselle and Opelika stands at 100-25 in eleven seasons.

   *   Bullock County has started the season 5-0 for the first time since 1972 when they finished the season with a 9-1 record. The Hornets will attempt to extend that streak against Handley this coming Friday.
