Friday means gameday for the Vestavia Hills High School football team.
Under the Lights and Vestavia Voice has you covered from the gridiron, as Vestavia Hills hosts Clay-Chalkville.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at the Hoover Met.
Here's what you need to know:
Clay-Chalkville (8-1) at Vestavia Hills (4-5)
- Date: Friday, Nov. 1
- Time: 7 p.m.
- Location: Thompson Reynolds Stadium
Last week: Clay-Chalkville defeated Pinson Valley 63-6; Vestavia Hills fell to Hoover 38-20.
What to watch: If this game was played during the middle of the season, it would be one of the most anticipated of the season. But this one comes at a time when both teams are preparing for the playoffs, which begin next week. Clay-Chalkville bounced back from a disappointing loss to Oxford with a dominant win last week, while Vestavia Hills is hoping to get some players back from injury as the Rebels prepare for the postseason as well.
Last meeting: Clay-Chalkville knocked off Vestavia Hills 31-27 in the first round of the state playoffs on Nov. 10, 2000, in the only previous meeting between the teams.
Next week: Clay-Chalkville hosts Gadsden City in the first round of the state playoffs; Vestavia Hills travels to Mary G. Montgomery for the first round of the playoffs.
