Stanhope Elmore tried to follow its season-opening win at Shades Valley with a win over Eufaula in its home opener.  The slick turf at Foshee-Henderson Stadium was the battleground for a physical track meet.

Stanhope made big plays, but also missed the opportunity for a few more, as costly mistakes gave Eufaula the chance to finish off a 27-23 win.
