Another exciting Friday night of high school football is on tap across the Sequatchie Valley, Northeast Alabama, and Northwest Georgia this week, with several important district and region matchups and local teams looking to continue their winning streaks as the regular season heads into its final weeks.
Marion County Warriors at Grundy County Yellowjackets
One of the biggest matchups in the valley this week takes place in Coalmont, where the undefeated Marion County Warriors (7-0) travel to face the Grundy County Yellowjackets (6-1).
Marion County looks to keep its perfect season intact, but the Warriors will face a tough Grundy County team that has been impressive throughout the season. The Yellowjackets are coming off a dominating 35-0 shutout victory over Monterey last week.
Grundy County’s only loss this season came on September 25th, when the Yellowjackets fell to York Institute in a 48-47 thriller.
Fans can catch live Warriors Radio coverage with Dave Daffron and Doug Ramsey beginning with the pregame show at 6:35 p.m. Central, followed by kickoff at 7 p.m. The game will stream live at theriver1049.com.
Lookout Valley Yellowjackets at South Pittsburg Pirates
South Pittsburg will also face a team of Yellowjackets this Friday as the Pirates welcome Lookout Valley to Beene Stadium.
The Pirates (5-1) will look to add another victory to their season against a Lookout Valley team that enters Friday’s contest with a 2-5 record.
Pirates Radio will have live coverage from Beene Stadium with Sean Dunwoody and Jeremy Jackson. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. Central, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m.

Whitwell Tigers at Sale Creek Panthers
The Whitwell Tigers (2-5) are looking to bounce back this week after suffering a heartbreaking upset on the road at Midway last Thursday.
Despite their overall record, Whitwell remains unbeaten in district play at 2-0, making Friday’s trip to Sale Creek another important contest.

The Indians enter the matchup with a 4-3 overall record and a 2-1 mark in district play.
This week, Sequatchie County welcomes the Community Vikings from Unionville, Tennessee, for another round of district action as the Indians look to build on last week’s big road win.
