File / TPI Braxton Wilson (2) and the Horseshoe Bend face defending Class 1A state champs Wadley. It should be a running back showdown between Wilson and Wadley's Jaquez Wilkes.

This might be the most difficult two-game stretch for the Horseshoe Bend football team.

This Friday marks the gauntlet of facing two defending state champions in consecutive weeks, starting with Wadley of Class 1A and followed by Reeltown of Class 2A. The Bulldogs are riding high at the moment, coming off a 13-0 season, all the while doing so in dominant fashion.
