Headland and Abbeville are an even 5-5 against one another since October of 2014, but not for long. The Headland Rams will square off against the Abbeville Yellowjackets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Abbeville took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Headland, who comes in off a win.
While Rams fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They walked away with a 19-10 win over Dale County on Friday. Given the Rams' advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked 83rd, while the Warriors are ranked 205th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Kameron Sconiers was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 169 yards on only nine carries. Backing up that air attack was Marcus Reeves, who rushed for 89 yards.
Meanwhile, Abbeville couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They came up short against Beulah on Friday, falling 39-14. The defeat leaves the Yellowjackets without a win on the season.
Despite their loss, Abbeville saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Xavier Harris, who picked up 68 receiving yards, and also threw for 62 yards and a touchdown on only five passes, was perhaps the best of all. Harris' longest reception was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
Everything came up roses for Headland against Abbeville in their previous meeting back in September of 2023 as the team secured a 38-8 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Headland since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
