Third time’s a charm: Reeltown wins state

Reeltown coach Matt Johnson hoists the AHSAA Class 2A state championship trophy toward his team after defeating Tuscaloosa Academy, 49-13, on Friday afternoon.

The day could not have started any better for Reeltown in the AHSAA Class 2A championship. 

A botched snap from quarterback JaMarkius Smith on a designed run play turned into a 83-yard receiving touchdown to Finn Henderson. It only went on from there with Reeltown taking a dominant 49-13 victory over Tuscaloosa Academy.
