Auburn High Takes Its Unbeaten Region Record to Central-Phenix City Tonight

PHENIX CITY — Auburn High plays the biggest game of its regular season so far tonight, traveling to Central-Phenix City for a 7 p.m. kickoff between two 3-1 teams.

The Tigers have won three straight, most recently a 28-21 decision over Enterprise that kept them unbeaten in region play. Central comes in off a 31-24 win at Opelika and has lost only to Thompson, the state’s top-ranked Class 7A team, in its opener.

Both teams are off next Friday, so tonight’s result will shape the region standings for two weeks. Auburn High returns home Oct. 2 for the rivalry game against Opelika.
