Vestavia Hills (3-2) vs. Prattville (3-2)
- Class 7A, Region 3
- Date: Friday, Oct. 3
- Time: 7 p.m.
- Location: Thompson Reynolds Stadium
Last week: Vestavia Hills took its open date; Prattville lost to Hoover 48-23.
What to watch: Vestavia Hills enters the second half of the season looking to make its playoff push. The Rebels used the open date last week to heal some bumps and bruises and catch their breath before a back half of the schedule that is undoubtedly not as ferocious as the first half. Still, Vestavia cannot take this Prattville team lightly. The Lions jumped out to a 20-0 lead over Hoover just last week and are more than capable of a strong showing.
Last meeting: Vestavia Hills defeated Prattville 49-14 in the first meeting between the programs.
Next week: Vestavia Hills stays at home to play Oak Mountain, while Prattville hosts Hewitt-Trussville.
