It’s a non-region week in the state of Alabama, but the week 6 matchups are as big as we’ve seen in a while.
Central-Phenix City hosting the national IMG Academy, Theodore traveling to Opelika, Clay-Chalkville risking his 20-game win over Thompson and Hoover taking on Mountain Brook are just some of the intriguing matchups. Also in Mobile, St. Michael takes on McGill-Toolen for the first time in the battle between the two Catholic schools on the Gulf Coast.
