Football High Live: Scores, updates from Friday’s Week 11 slate
One of tonight’s biggest state storylines is the quest of UMS-Wright veteran coach Terry Curtis to tie Buddy Anderson’s AHSAA all-time wins record.
Curtis enters tonight’s home game with Williamson with 345 victory. Anderson retired after 43 years at Vestavia Hills in 2020 with 346.

If the No. 1 Bulldogs beat Class 5A, Region 1 rival Williamson to complete a 10-0 regular season, Curtis will have a chance to break the record in the first round of the playoffs next Friday.
Check back frequently to see if Curtis can tie the mark. Other key games around the state include Prattville at Central-Phenix City, Westminster at Madison Academy, Fairhope at Briarwood Christian and St. Paul’s at Theodore.
A complete list of final scores will be posted at the end of the night. The first-round playoff pairings will be posted on AL.com when they are available. Here we go with the final week of the regular season.
