TUSCALOOSA NEWS- The high school football season is entering Week 4. Games are scheduled Thursday and Friday across the Tuscaloosa area.
Here is a look at three top games:
Thursday
Northside vs. Gordo (Reform)
Northside has started 3-0 and is in first place in its region. The Rams have continued to play stout defensively, giving up only nine points per game. Senior corner Wes Maluda had a goal-line interception to seal last week's victory.
Gordo is also 3-0. The Green Wave are led by junior quarterback Tanner Bailey, a four-star prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, UGA, LSU, and Miami. The Green Wave are averaging 49 points per game.
The game will be played in Reform due to Gordo's football field being flooded.
Friday
Hewitt-Trussville at Tuscaloosa County
Hewitt-Trussville (3-0), the second-ranked team in Class 7A, looks to remain undefeated. The Huskies are led by senior running backs Sean Jackson and Armoni Goodwin, who combined for five touchdowns last week.
Tuscaloosa County is led by senior running back and Troy commit Damien Taylor. It is TC's second top 10 ranked opponent in as many weeks.
This matchup will help shape the rankings in the Class 7A Region 3 standings.
Bessemer City at Northridge
Northridge puts its 3-0 record on the line after knocking off cross-town rival Paul W. Bryant. The Jaguars have already surpassed their 2019 win total. The Jaguars' defense continues to show why they are one of the best in the region, giving up only six points per game.
