Montgomery Catholic took the lead within the first minute of the game, though offense was not going to be easy to come by for the rest of the evening. Moody tied the game at up 14-14 early in the fourth quarter, though a 23-yard field goal by Montgomery’s JP Costa proved to be the difference. Montgomery has now won consecutive state titles.

Class 4A Championship

Cherokee County — 6

It was a splattering on Friday afternoon in Birmingham, led by junior four-star quarterback Landon Duckworth, who threw for five touchdowns, setting a new 4A title game record. Cherokee County has now lost in the 4A title game in three consecutive seasons.

A 49-point fourth quarter delivered perhaps the most entertaining state title game of the week between Houston Academy and Mars Hill. The game was tied at 29 in the fourth before all hell broke loose. Mars Hill broke out for a 43-29 lead and managed to hold on in the end for its first 3A state title.

Class 2A Championship

Dec. 6
Reeltown — 49
Tuscaloosa Academy — 13

For the first time since 2009, The Reeltown Rebels are state champions.

Sophomore quarterback Ja’markius Smith threw for three scores in the victory.

Class 1A Championship

Dec. 5
Maplesville — 7
Wadley — 37

Wadley didn’t need a single yard through the air on Thursday night. Four-star junior Jaquez Wilkes rushed for 312 yards and five touchdowns, capping off a perfect season for the Bulldogs. The win delivered Wadley its first state title.
