Friday Night Lights Radio Ready For Playoffs
It’s week 11 for Friday Night Lights Radio on which airs 6-9 p.m. CT on Tide 100.9 FM and the app. However, more importantly, it’s week one for the AHSAA playoffs. Jacob Harrison, myself and producer James Ludeman will be keeping you posted on scores of as many games as we can. We will also review Alabama football’s 609 start, begin discussing next week’s LSU game, and talk about what’s happening in the NFL.
Back to high school, we will be staffing the West Alabama games in our coverage area with live updates on the following contests:
Brooks [6-4] is at Gordo, which is 9-1. This Thursday game features the return of Gordo quarterback Tanner Bailey, who holds an Alabama offer. He is a junior.
McGill-Toolen [7-2] will be at Hillcrest. The 8-2 Patriots are led by sophomore quarterback Ethan Crawford, who is one of the state’s most exciting players.
Northridge [7-3] at Saraland [8-2] is a game featuring a lot of former college greats on the sidelines. Northridge assistants include former Alabama players Martin Houston and John Copeland. The head coach at Saraland is former Southern Miss quarterback Jeff Kelly.
Northside is 8-2 and will host 6-4 Deshler. Northside coach Chris Hilliker retires at the end of the Rams’ playoff run. Fun Fact: Hillier was the first quarterback at Hillcrest when it opened in the early 80’s.
The Pickens County Tornadoes are coached by former Bama tight end Michael Williams and the Tornadoes put their 7-3 mark on the line against visiting Woodville, which is 5-5.
The least competitive game in the area is probably 10-0 American Christian hosting 4-6 Geneva. The Patriots of ACA are led by UGA commitment Kamari Lassiter. They will likely advance.
We will keep you posted from 6-9 p.m. CT Friday on all the above games and many others on Tide 100.9 FM and the app.
