Horseshoe Bend’s Gavin Brazzell drops back to pass against B.B. Comer.

Horseshoe Bend is coming off another one-score loss but is looking to flip the script this week and pull out the win against LaFayette on Friday.

LaFayette (1-4, 1-3) is coming off its first win of the season against Ranburne and is probably feeling confident. Horseshoe Bend is coming off its fifth straight loss after winning its opening game against Wadley and is getting into desperation mode. The good news for coach Jeremy Phillips and the Generals is they aren’t out of the playoff picture yet but will need to peel off a couple wins in the coming weeks to have a shot.
