MATCHUP
Thompson (Alabaster, Alabama) (10-1)
vs.
Hoover (Alabama) (10-2)
When: 11/22, 7 p.m. ET
Tale of the Tape: The Thompson vs. Hoover playoff battle is on its way to being an annual thing, as this will be the third time in a row the two teams have met up with the season on the line. In 2017, Hoover won, and last season, Thompson got revenge. This year, it’ll be a battle between two of the top quarterbacks in the state: Thompson’s Sawyer Pate has completed 76% of his passes with 33 touchdowns to two interceptions while Robby Ashford has led Hoover to back-to-back playoff wins since his return from injury, including an overtime victory last week. His injury came in the regular season matchup against Thompson. Now healthy, can he lead the Bucs to a 2-1 playoff record against Thompson these last three years?
