Heading into a matchup with Vestavia Hills on Oct. 26 that would decide which team led the region heading into the playoffs, the Mountain Brook High football team sported the longest winning streak for 6A Region 6 at 8-0.

The Spartans, coached by Chris Yeager, sported a suffocating defense through their first eight games of the year, giving up only 66 points. Ranked just outside the top-10 in the state in October, Mountain Brook is poised for another strong playoff push to close the 2012 season.

Alabama High School Athletic Association Playoffs begin Nov. 9 and end Nov. 30, with the 2012 Super 6 Finals scheduled for Dec. 6-7 at Auburn University’s Jordan-Hare Stadium.
