Having just lost to Northside, the Oakman Wildcats are looking to bounce back. In order to do this, they will have to keep the pressure on the West Point Warriors.
Despite a close scoreline, the West Point Warriors snagged the most important statistic of the game: the most points scored in a game by a team with a 9-2 record. The Warrior tallied 38 points against Fairview, including five touchdowns. The Wildcats held the line on their onsides kick, but were not able to stop the West Point rushing attack, which featured 313 yards from Cameron Moore and Alex Hernandez.
The Warriors racked up two of the best three quarters of play of the season. They used a balanced offensive attack to take control of the game, and the defense was impressive. They held Fairview to just seven points in the first half and forced three turnovers. The Warriors used the same offense to beat Hewitt-Trussville in the opener, but that was a one-point game.
The Wildcats dominated the first quarter, scoring eight straight points before West Point had a chance to mount a comeback. The Warriors’ defense made some plays, but not enough to keep the home team in the game. The Warrior defense has had its ups and downs in recent weeks, and will need to match the pace.
The West Point offense was a bit sluggish in the first half, but the Broncos drained the glass in the second and third quarters. Freshman Tyler Cochran scored a game-high 11 points, while freshman Tyler Marks finished with four.
The Warrior’s defense should be able to handle the offense, but they have not been as successful against quick teams recently. They haven’t been able to stymie the Tigers’ rushing attack. Corey Ward completed 10 of 19 passes, but it was the rushing game that had the most positive effect.
The most important thing to know is that the Warrior’s defense will have to keep the ball out of the hands of a fast-paced offense. That said, the Warriors did have one of the best quarters of the year, gaining 539 yards and snagging five sacks. During the game, Aidan Dujoud scored four points, and Jacob Harbison finished with two.
The West Point Warriors have a big test on their hands, and will have to win if they want to remain in the hunt for a top-four regional spot. The Broncos are 2-2 in the region, and have games at Fultondale and Vinemont on the schedule next week. The Warriors are 8-2 overall and are still in third place in the region.
Besides the usual suspects, Red Level was on the ball Friday night against a ranked Oakman Wildcats team. The Tigers managed to keep up with their opponents for much of the night, and the end result was a 69-31 win. The biggest cheerleader was head coach Virgil Smith. Despite a few early deficits, the Tigers were able to mount a comeback. Several of the bigger names were on display, including senior ninja Brodie Hicks, who scored on a blocked punt less than a minute into the game.

The Tigers also showed up on special teams, as KEYLON HIGGINS had four tackles and a few sacks. The Red Level defense was up front and aggressive, and a few turnovers helped the Tigers.
In addition to the usual suspects, the Red Level Tigers matched Oakman’s high-octane offense, and the Tigers showed up for the second half. They were able to pull out the win thanks to a few key plays, a few stout tackles, and a few nifty trick plays. During the final quarter, the Tigers outscored their foes 32-21.
It was an impressive showing by the Tigers, as they were able to take the lead in the third quarter. While the Tigers weren’t able to match the Wildcats’ scoring output, they did manage to find the end zone twice, most notably in the first quarter. In the end, the Tigers won their first playoff game in a decade, and if they can get past the Texans in the next round, they should be in the running for the Class A state title.
