All six county football teams take the field for the final time in October as one concludes regular season play in a huge region matchup, and two others battle in a county rivalry.

Andalusia at Montgomery Catholic
Top-ranked Andalusia (9-0, 6-0 4A Region 2) will travel to the capital city for a heavyweight matchup against third-ranked Montgomery Catholic (9-0, 6-0) in a battle of two undefeated teams.

The winner will clinch the region and earn a top seed in the playoffs, while the loser will finish second. It will be the fifth time the two teams have played since the 2014 season with the Bulldogs holding a 3-1 lead over the Knights.

Andalusia hosted B.T. Washington and erased an early six-point deficit for a 27-6 win last week. Montgomery Catholic earned its sixth straight shutout and seventh of the season with a 63-0 rout against Dale County.

The two teams played twice during the 2022 season. The Knights earned a 45-23 road win in the last game of the regular season before the Bulldogs returned the favor with a 29-26 win at Cramton Bowl in the semi-finals.

Florala at Kinston
Florala (6-2, 4-2 1A Region 2) will make the trip to Kinston (2-6, 1-5) in a crucial region battle for playoff seeding.

The two teams have played every year since 1988 and square off for their 36th all-time meeting. The Wildcats have a 19-16 edge in the series against the Bulldogs.

Florala fell short in a home contest to Elba last week, 56-28. Kinston dropped a road outing to McKenzie, 45-19.

Opp at Straughn
Opp (3-5, 3-3 3A Region 2) will hit the road to Straughn (7-1, 6-0) for the first time in three years when the two county rivals collide in a region battle.

This year’s game will be the 20th time the two teams square off in the modern era. The Tigers lead the series 11-8 over the Bobcats in previous matchups dating back to the 2002 season.

Opp, which is fighting for a playoff spot, came up short to Houston Academy, 49-20, last time out. Straughn, which is seeking a first-round home playoff game, enters the contest winners of three straight including a 56-21 homecoming win over Northside Methodist last week.
