Mountain Brook (1-0) at UMS-Wright (0-1)
- Date: Friday, Aug. 28
- Time: 7 p.m.
- Location: Ervin S. Cooper Stadium – UMS-Wright Preparatory School
Last week: Mountain Brook beat Hueytown 60-18; UMS-Wright fell to Jackson Prep (Miss.) 42-35.
What to watch: Mountain Brook put up a season-opening rout and now travels to Mobile for a first-ever meeting with a UMS-Wright program that owns nine state championships. UMS-Wright has been a Class 5A program in recent years but is now part of the Private-AA division. This will likely present a much steeper challenge for the Spartans.
Last meeting: Mountain Brook and UMS-Wright have never met.
Next week: Mountain Brook heads to Homewood to begin region play, while UMS-Wright travels to St. Michael.
