Friday means gameday for the Hoover high school football team.
Under the Lights and Hoover Sun has you covered from the gridiron, as Hoover travels to Tuscaloosa County for a Class 7A, Region 3 game. Spain Park faced off with Chelsea on Thursday.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. for the Bucs.
Here's what you need to know:
Hoover (5-2) at Tuscaloosa County (0-6)
- Date: Friday, Oct. 11
- Time: 7 p.m.
- Location: Tuscaloosa County High School
Last week: Hoover earned a 28-10 win over Oak Mountain; Tuscaloosa County fell to Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa 42-21.
What to watch: Hoover is tied atop the Class 7A, Region 3 standings with Thompson and has a chance to remain that way this week against a winless Tuscaloosa County team. The Bucs should have the opportunity to earn a convincing win in this one to set up a big game against Thompson next week.
Last meeting: Hoover beat Tuscaloosa County 37-10 on Oct. 13, 2023. Hoover has won 13 straight over the Wildcats, which last knocked off Hoover in 2005. The Bucs hold a 20-3 edge all time.
Next week: Hoover heads to Thompson, while Tuscaloosa County travels to Vestavia Hills.
