Prep football first round playoffs

We lost a bunch of area teams in the first round of the football playoffs, but I believe the ones that remain can keep making some noise.
Cottonwood continues to really impress in Class 2A, and I believe will keep on rolling at Georgiana this Friday.
Wicksburg showed a lot of grit coming from behind to beat Hale County. The Panthers took another tough blow on the injury side when Jon Unterkofler suffered what is believed to be a season-ending knee injury in the fourth quarter. He led the team with 12 tackles in Friday’s game.
Eufaula and Pike County won easily, and here’s believing Pike County will make another run at the 3A title.
And how about Charles Henderson and Andalusia rolling right along?
Sad to see Enterprise being eliminated, but the Wildcats can certainly be proud of their accomplishments in what’s been a trying year.
While much of the focus will be on the football playoffs this week, don’t forget that basketball season is beginning to crank up.
Hope you will get out and support the area high school basketball programs.
