For the second consecutive year, the Huskies will compete in the Alabama High School Athletic Association’s Unified Flag Football (Special Olympic) event. Hewitt-Trussville, Northridge, Lee County and Lawrence County high schools are scheduled to compete on Thursday at Hewitt-Trussville Stadium. Games will be played at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. There will also be a consolation game at 1 p.m.
Those contests will decide who marches on to the Nov. 12 game in Bryant-Denny Stadium prior to the beginning of the high school football Super 7. The Huskies lost to Lawrence County last season in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Following the AHSAA’s partnership with the Alabama Special Olympics, that was the state’s first such game.
