GDW Analysis:
For the final Friday of September, local football displayed perfection.
Five games with all non regional affairs. Two celebrated winning on homecoming while the other three enjoyed the bus ride back to campus following victorious outings.
West Point 42, Hayden 12:
West Point collected victory on campus for the first time and also celebrated homecoming.
The Warriors went from a 7 to 6 lead after the first to moving ahead of Hayden 21 to 6 at the half.
West Point put the game out of reach with three touchdowns in the 4th quarter.
The Warriors are 3 & 2 and have won 2 straight for 2nd year coach Kevin McCrary.
Vinemont 28, West End 0:
September was a good month for Vinemont football with the Eagles going 4 & 0 after starting the 2025 schedule with losses to Falkville and Southeastern.
Homecoming festivities were happy on Friday evening with the Eagles having a 14 to 0 advantage on West End at the break.
A TD in the 3rd and a score in the 4th and a stout defense allowed Vinemont to earn a shutout victory for the first time this season.
Cold Springs 36, Lynn 12:
Playing in Winston County territory for the 2nd game in a row, Cold Springs took care of business in beating Lynn to take a 5 & 1 record into the October portion of the schedule.
Leading 12 to 0 at the half, the Eagles took a 20 to 6 lead into the 4th and added two touchdowns to complete a solid triumph at Posey Field.
The week before, Brendan Voce's Eagles had scored a victory against Winston County from Malcom Blake Stadium.
Cullman 24, Brewer 11:
For one night, frustration ended with the Cullman Bearcats giving new coach Trent Walker his first victory.
Three of the five games for the 'Cats were losses by a combined total of 5 points.
At Tucker Stadium, the Bearcats increased a 6 to 3 lead to 14 to 3 by halftime.
They would get the lead up to 24 to 3 before Brewer scored in the final period.
Cullman is 27 & 1 all time with Brewer and has beaten the Patriots 18 consecutive times.
