Local football enters stretch run of 2025 regional schedule:
Home games for Cullman, GH, HV, HP and VM this Friday evening:
GDW Analysis:
For the 9th week of the 2025 football regular season, regional play with an interesting twist in six of the assignments.
Local teams would be considered an "underdog" for the fact they have fewer wins in the region vs their opponent for Friday evening.
That can be used as motivation for Cullman, Cold Springs, Good Hope, Hanceville, Holly Pond and West Point with very much nothing to lose.
