Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa (9-2) at Baldwin County High (8-3)

BAY MINETTE – BCHS Head Coach Scott Rials said his players and coaches were very excited to get to the playoffs and super excited to get the first-round win on the road over Helena 32-29.

“The guys were excited to get that win and see their hard work pay off,” Rials said. “That’s what we have been telling them all year and now here we are in the second round. Also any time you play a good team like them (Helena) you get better because it helps you to be challenged. So, really proud because these guys earned it and seeing them embrace it and wanting more and willing to work hard is just great.”

Looking ahead to Hillcrest- Tuscaloosa, he said he, his staff and their players know they are facing a good team.

“They are very good and our guys are looking at film and studying as much as possible about them,” he said. “They are very athletic and talented, so we do have our work cut out for us for sure. But we have talented guys too and they are preparing very seriously for Friday night.”

The Tigers’ offense is averaging about 34 points per game. Rials added that his defense will be tested, but they have been solid all year holding opponents to about 13 points on average per game.

“They understand that if they get the stops and get the ball back to our offense, then we have a better chance to score and the more opportunities we have to go ahead and stay ahead.”

He also expects special teams to play a big role.

“We’re fortunate to have very good special teams.” He said, “Our kicker Tony Licalzi and our punter Todd Powell, who also can play   quarterback when Ty (Mims) needs to come out. They are very good and consistent with their contribution to our kicking game.”

Spanish Fort (10-1) at Opelika High (8-3)

SPANISH FORT - The Toros hosted Calera last week and took a 41-31 round-one victory. Also advancing from Region 1 was McGill-Toolen Catholic and Saraland. Spanish Fort Head Coach Ben Blackmon said he expects a battle.

“I think it will be a tough-fought game between two good teams on Friday night,” he said. “They do some things very well on both sides of the ball, but I believe we do too. So, it’s going to be the team that does what they do best and not make mistakes that will win. So, we need to go work, stay in focus and limit mistakes.”

Also in Class 6A, McGill-Toolen Catholic (7-4) advanced and will host Hueytown (10-1) in Mobile and Saraland (9-2) will welcome Lee-Montgomery (8-2).

Montgomery Catholic (12-0) at Bayside Academy (9-2)

DAPHNE - The Admirals welcome undefeated Montgomery Catholic from Region 4 to Bayside Academy’s Freedom Field on their campus in Daphne. The MCHS Knights are undefeated and have outscored opponents 613 to 34.

“Obviously, we have our work cut out for us,” said Bayside head coach Phil Lazenby. “They can put up a lot of points in a hurry, so our defense will be essential for us this Friday.”

Bayside defeated Southside-Selma in round 1 37-36 while MCHS toppled Houston Academy 56- 7.

“They are explosive on offense and stingy on defense. They have great athletes and great coaches. We will have to take advantage of any and every opportunity we get. And we will have to do everything right to stay in this ballgame. I know we want it. We just have to play a near perfect ballgame to do it.”

Statewide, the seven defending champions won their first-round contestswith Class 3A Fyffe (9-1) claiming their 19^th straight playoff win beating Walter Wellborn 34-0. Class 7A Thompson (10-1) captured its ninth straight playoff victory with a 49-10 win over Florence.
