Week 2 Preview: Springville @ Moody
This regional intra-county rivalry appears to be a battle of running backs. For Springville, there’s Jordan Byrd, who is the best athlete on the Tigers’ roster and who has enjoyed a lot of success running against teams within the county. For Moody, there is Gabe Webb, who exploded on the scene this season with 212 yards rushing in the opener against Hamilton. The advantage in this contest seems to be tipping toward Moody, based on quarterback Christian Weems’ success in the air this season. This should spread the field for Webb to gash into Springville’s defense.
