Sophomore running back Jordan Hill leads the Wetumpka Indians onto the field in their season opener against Beauregard.

The Wetumpka Indians looked confident and in control as they took on Beauregard in Opelika in the season opener. Wetumpka is coming into this season with a younger team than usual, with only six starters returning from last season.

Their youth showed in some moments, but the Indians’ athleticism and determination prevailed. Wetumpka notched their first win of the season against the Hornets, for a final score of 36-19.
