No. 24 Daphne (Ala.) at Fairhope (Ala.)Daphne is the defending 6A champion with 22 straight wins, but is ranked only 11th this week in
MaxPreps' Freeman Rankings for Alabama. The primary reason is because the Trojans' first seven opponents are a collective 23 games below .500 this season. Still, Daphne has been dominant, winning by an average margin of 30 points. Its offensive attack relies heavily on the talents of senior running back
T.J. Yeldon. The Auburn commit has rushed for nearly 1,200 yards with 19 touchdowns this season.
Fairhope is 6-1 with its only loss coming by one point to undefeated McGill-Toolen (Mobile) on Sept. 2. The Pirates are one week removed from a 45-34 win over rival Foley, a team Daphne defeated by 21 a month earlier.
Chase Domino, the Pirates' 6-foot-3, 185-pound quarterback, passed for more than 200 yards and ran for more than 100 with three total touchdowns against Foley.
