Wetumpka will be cutting some time off its travel this week but the Indians still have to take another long trip south to face off against Dothan. In the second year of the schedule, most teams for Wetumpka are familiar but this week’s opponent is not familiar to anyone in the state yet.

Dothan is in its first year as a new school after combining with Northview, which Wetumpka faced last season. The football team has seen plenty of growth under first-year coach Smitty Grider and there are still a lot of unknowns for teams attempting to scout the Wolves.
