August 22, 2026 — Lee County, AL
High school football returned Friday night, and weather had as much to say about it as the teams did. At Duck Samford Stadium, Auburn High dropped a high-scoring, rain-soaked opener to Hewitt-Trussville, 56-42, in the first meeting between the two programs.
At Jud Scott Field, Lee-Scott Academy’s game against Glenwood entered a two-and-a-half-hour weather delay with 5:17 left in the first half and was ultimately cancelled; under AHSAA rules the result is recorded as a 7-0 Glenwood win. Elsewhere in the area, Reeltown beat Beauregard 27-0, Northside (Ga.) beat Smiths Station 29-6 and Loachapoka rolled past Lanett 40-28.
Opelika sat out Week 0 — the Bulldogs have an open date to start the season and play a nine-game schedule — and open under new head coach Jonathan Chandler on Thursday, Aug. 27, against Hoover.
