Saraland (Ala.) at Spanish Fort (Ala.)What to watch: Spanish Fort will try to extend its winning streak to 29 games in Friday's rematch from last season's Class 5A state semifinals. Spanish Fort's 24-14 win that night was one of only two it had all season decided by less than 20 points. The Toros' most heralded players are brothers
Tyler Johnston and
Thomas Johnston. Tyler, a 6-2, 200-pound junior quarterback, has completed over 70 percent of his passes for 13 touchdowns and almost 1,000 yards in four games. Thomas, a 6-1, 190-pound sophomore linebacker, leads the team with 41 tackles. He had over 100 stops as a freshman. For Saraland (4-0) to pull an upset, it probably needs a big night from senior
Chris Weaver. The Louisiana-Lafayette commit is a 6-1, 205-pound dual threat quarterback who also had over 100 tackles last year as a linebacker.
