Mountain Brook's DB Mac Mandell (12) tracks ball during a game between Oxford and Mountain Brook on Friday, Sept. 20, 2024, at Spartan Stadium.
Monday marks 18 days until the Mountain Brook High School football team kicks off the 2025 season.
Mountain Brook defensive back Mac Mandell will be one of the defensive players leading the Spartans onto the field Aug. 22, as they host Demopolis in the season opener.
The Spartans' defense is consistently one of the best in the region, if not the state, and Mandell will look to be one of the leaders for a group looking to remain in that class.
Preparation is underway for this year's award-winning Under the Lights preseason magazine. Stay tuned to Village Living and to the Under the Lights social media channels to follow along, as the 2025 season approaches.
