TRUSSVILLE — Hewitt-Trussville High School has released its 2021 football schedule, complete with seven region games and three non-region games.
The Huskies will open up next season at home on Aug. 20 against the defending Class 6A state champion Pinson Valley Indians. That will be a return trip for Pinson Valley after Hewitt-Trussville opened up the 2020 season with a 44-19 road win at Willie Adams Stadium.
Head coach Josh Floyd will then take his team south to Class 6A Saraland on Aug. 27 in what would’ve served as the second part of a home-and-home series if not for last year’s cancellation. Class 7A, Region 3 play begins on Sept. 3 when Hewitt-Trussville plays host to Spain Park.
Region 3 remains, perhaps, the toughest test in Alabama high school football. League members include Hewitt-Trussville, Spain Park, Tuscaloosa County, Thompson, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Gadsden City and Oak Mountain. All four of the region’s 2020 playoff qualifiers (Thompson, Hoover, Hewitt-Trussville and Oak Mountain) won their first-round games and Thompson marched on to its second consecutive state title with a record of 14-0.
