Last Friday, Douglas took a blow against Scottsboro, falling 45-13. While losing is never fun, the Eagles can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked 152nd, while the Wildcats are ranked 42nd).

One of the most active was Tyler Pierce, who threw for 315 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 15.0 yards per attempt. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for four or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
