Florence, AL

Muscle Shoals, AL

Muscle Shoals is 8-1 against Florence since September of 2014, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. The Muscle Shoals Trojans will be defending their home-field for the first time for the first time when they go up against the Florence Falcons at 7:00 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

Arab had to kick off their season on the road on Thursday, but they showed no ill effects. They breezed by the Albertville Aggies on the road to the tune of 35-0. Given the Knights' advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked 104th, while the Aggies are ranked 240th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

The Auburn Tigers begin their 2024 season this Saturday when they host the Alabama A&M Bulldogs at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The game is at 6:30 p.m. CT kickoff on ESPN+. After going 6-7 in the first season under Hugh Freeze there are questions around this team. The Tigers will look different on offense after an overhaul of the wide receiver room that needed more talent. Defensively, Freeze added more talent on the defensive line, but the secondary comes in lacking experience. Auburn does have the potential to be a nine-win team, but everything starts on Saturday. Here is our Auburn versus Alabama A&M preview:
