Springville Tigers ›› @ Sylacauga Aggies

Springville will have a lot on their plate for their season opener in Sylacauga.

Coming off a successful 2014 campaign, the Aggies return nine starters on offense, led by junior running back Alex Thompson, who rushed for over 1,300 yards in the Aggies 7-4 season. Springville’s best bet is to utilize their running game against Sylacauga’s linebackers, who are very young and inexperienced.

If the Tigers can control the clock with their ground game and get after the Aggies’ second level, they could keep it close in the fourth quarter for a shot at a win.
