Under the Lights football gameday.
Friday night means gameday for the local high school football teams, and Under the Lights is back to cover Football Friday.
Mountain Brook is back in action Friday night with a home game against Ramsay, in a big region contest.
For updates throughout Friday night and all season, follow sports editor Kyle Parmley on X (@KyleParmley) and the Under the Lights social media accounts (Facebook and X).
Mountain Brook (4-2) vs. Ramsay (5-1)
- Date: Friday, Oct. 2
- Time: 7 p.m.
- Location: Spartan Stadium
Last week: Mountain Brook beat Oxford 10-3; Ramsay beat Pinson Valley 34-26.
What to watch: Mountain Brook leaned on defense and field position to grind out a low-scoring, complementary-football win over Oxford in non-region play last week. Ramsay has won four straight and enters as one of the hotter teams on the schedule. This game will be a pivotal one in terms of eventually deciding the region titles, as these two teams and Homewood appear to be the frontrunners in Class 5A, Region 4.
Last meeting: Mountain Brook beat Ramsay 19-13 in 2016, but Ramsay has won two of the three previous meetings.
Next week: Mountain Brook travels to Calera, while Ramsay hosts Pelham.
