It will be top-three showdown in Enterprise and a top-six meeting in Dothan Friday night following the release of the Alabama Sports Writers Association state rankings.
The top-three showdown features No. 2 Central of Phenix City facing No. 3 Enterprise at Wildcat Stadium at Bill Bacon Field. The Wildcats moved up two spots this week to third after beating Auburn last week.
It’s the first top-three battle for Enterprise since the 1985 season opener when the third-ranked Wildcats beat No. 1 Prattville at the ’Cats old home facility of Bates Memorial Stadium, aka “The Hole.” It’s the first such game at Wildcat Stadium, which became the EHS home in 2010. Meanwhile in Dothan, the fifth-ranked Auburn Tigers come to Rip Hewes Stadium to face the No. 6 ranked Dothan Wolves. It’s only the second top 10 game in Wolves’ five-year history. Ironically, the first was last year in Auburn when DHS was No. 8 and Auburn No. 3.
