Anquon Fegans Delivers Electric Effort Vs Hewitt-Trussville
Thompson took down Hewitt-Trussville on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Anquon Fegans's standout effort. Nobody could stop Fegans as he forced a fumble and made six total tackles.
Hewitt-Trussville had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Fegans it was a similar story. Fegans forced a fumble, made seven total tackles, and defended two passes in addition to snagging an interception the last time he and the Huskies duked it out back in November of 2023.

Big Game from Kimbrough As Hillcrest Won 42-21

This year, Kimbrough has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 138.7 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 25.71 passing yards per game.
