As temperatures drop and the brisk fall weather continues each week it feels more and more like playoff football here in the state of Alabama.
We kick off this edition of our Friday Night Lights series with the Carver Wolverines dropping their 3rd consecutive game as they lose to the Eufaula Tigers 20-7 last night at Crampton Bowl.
As for tonight’s match-ups I will say in advance the proverbial football corners will be busy tonight as we have some lopsided games on the schedule. 7-1 Luverne will host 0-7 Calhoun, 7-0 Lanett travels to 1-7 Verbena, and 6-1 St. James welcomes 0-8 Prattville Christian.
