Wetumpka mixing playoff preparation with holiday

File / The Herald

Wetumpka has had to deal with rain, cold, and now a holiday week during its postseason run.

There is nothing new about Alabama high school football teams preparing for a playoff game during the week of Thanksgiving. However, that does not make things any simpler.

For the second consecutive year, Wetumpka is using its Thanksgiving week to prepare for a Class 6A quarterfinal matchup with visiting Spanish Fort Friday at 7 p.m. Indians coach Tim Perry said the whole week is different than a regular game week but the team tries to keep things as normal as possible.
