Johnston was the Class 6A Lineman of the Year and was runner-up to Mr. Football as a senior. He went on to sign with UAB and play with older brother, Tyler.

6:40 PM, Todd’s Take: We started a new feature this week with former high school football defensive coordinator Jacy Todd breaking down one of the state’s biggest games. This week, Todd told us the keys to Fairhope vs. Daphne — two schools he served as an assistant coach at. Read the first Todd’s take before tonight’s game kicks off at Jubilee Stadium.
6:33 PM, Lineup change: Freshman Noah Schuback, was announced as the starting QB for Hoover tonight against surprising Tuscaloosa County. Doesn’t look like the Bucs will have Ahamari Williams carrying the ball tonight either. Schuback played a bit at the end of last week. We’ll be following this developing story.
6:30 PM, Sibling rivalry: It will be brother vs. brother once again tonight as Bob Jones takes on Sparkman. Sparkman’s Laron White will to even his record against younger sibling Kelvis White. Read Mike Perrin’s preview of this game.
6:27 PM, Bulldogs on a roll: Andalusia looks to improve to 8-0 tonight as Trent Taylor’s team hosts Slocomb. The Bulldogs, who have allowed just 91 points all season, appear to be steamrolling toward a matchup with No. 1 Montgomery Catholic on Oct. 21. Read Ben Thomas’ column about Andalusia’s season so far.
