TONIGHT
(All kickoffs at 7:30 EDT unless noted)
BELL COUNTY (Ky.) BOBCATS at SOUTH PITTSBURG PIRATES, 8
Storyline: Class A state finalists a year ago, the Pirates are looking for their sixth season with 10 or more wins in the last seven years. While the Bobcats, perennial Kentucky Class AAA state-playoff performers, haven’t won an opener since 2010, South Pittsburg hasn’t lost one since 2004. RB Corbin Fitzgerald is a key to the Pirates offense, which will use his talents to set up QB Kitt Grider and the passing game.
COMMUNITY VIKINGS at SEQUATCHIE COUNTY INDIANS, 8
Storyline: The Indians opened the season a year ago with a 40-3 victory over the Vikings in a rain-soaked and storm-delayed game. They begin their second year under coaching veteran Ken Colquette looking to improve on last year’s five-win season. Colquette wanted a stronger and more physical team, and the Indians spent a lot of time in the weight room.
