Football Friday: Jags begin playoff round

Friday is game day for the Spain Park High School football team.

“Under the Lights” and “Hoover Sun” have you covered from the stage, while Spain Park hosts McGill-Toolen at the start of the high school football playoffs.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at Jaguar Stadium.

Here's what you need to know:

Spain Park (10-0) vs. McGill-Toolen (6-4)

• Date: Friday, November 8th
• Time: 7 p.m
• Location: Jaguar Stadium

Last week: Spain Park defeated Gardendale 35-12; McGill-Toolen defeated Baldwin County 41-14.

What you should see: Spain Park made program history last week with a convincing win over Gardendale, completing a 10-0 regular season. Now the records will be reset as the playoffs begin and the Jags will get a visit from McGill-Toolen in the opening round. If the Jags play like they have all season, they are very capable of making the playoffs.

Last meeting: McGill-Toolen defeated Spain Park 14-12 in the Class 7A state championship game on Dec. 2, 2015. It is the only previous meeting between the teams.

What's next?: The winner receives the winner between Russell County and Northridge in the second round.
