Hubbertville’s Charles Keeton (24) carries the ball upfield as teammate Landon Dodd (13) delivers a block during the Lions’ game against Tuscaloosa Academy.
The Hubbertville Lions jumped out to an early two-touchdown lead Friday night, but Tuscaloosa Academy rallied to score 32 unanswered points and hand the Lions a 32-14 loss at Wiley Hollingsworth Stadium. After forcing the Knights to punt on their opening possession, Hubbertville put together a scoring drive highlighted by quarterback Blaize Wakefield’s connections with Cruz Kizzire. Kizzire hauled in a pass and fought his way to the Tuscaloosa Academy 3-yard line, setting up the Lions near the goal line. Greyson Minor carried the ball across the goal line on third-and-goal with 3:52 remaining in the opening quarter. Wakefield kept the ball for the successful 2-point conversion, giving Hubbertville an 8-0 lead.
