That's one way to describe an Alabama high school football season opener"},"content":{"rendered":"

The challenge of David going up against Goliath in high school football was <\/span>rather<\/span> poignantly summed up by one Alabama football coach this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said that his season-opening opponent is so good<\/span>…<\/span>how good are they? They are so good that when his players graduate and go to college, they’ll be in the stands cheering on some <\/span>of the<\/span> players they will face next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

In doing so, <\/span>Vestavia Hills<\/span><\/a> (Vestavia Hills, Alabama) head football coach Robert Evans <\/span>made it clear<\/span> the talent discrepancy between his team and his season opener next week at Carver-Montgomery (Montgomery, Alabama).<\/span><\/p>\n

Now,<\/span> let’s get this out of the way: Vestavia Hills are no slouches; they finished 9-3 last year.<\/span> But Carver-Montgomery has three big-time recruits in the class of 2025, underscoring Evans’s point about his own team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Playing a <\/span>tough<\/span> schedule, Carver-Montgomery had a record of 7-4 a season ago. They are a talented and deep team, led by running back <\/span>Anthony Rogers<\/span><\/a>, a four-star <\/span>who is<\/span> committed to <\/span>Alabama<\/span><\/a>. In addition, <\/span>Tristan Norman<\/span><\/a> is a three-star wide receiver <\/span>who is<\/span> committed to <\/span>Texas A&M<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

And<\/span> Terrell Russell<\/span><\/a>, their quarterback, is a three-star with offers including Central Michigan and Georgia Southern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evans said that it is a tall task for his players.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This guy is going to Alabama, this one is going to Florida, this one is going to Texas A&M <\/span>and<\/span> this one has 20 offers <\/span>and<\/span> we’ve got a bunch of Pi Kapp’s and Phi Gi’s that are going to be tackling the guys that they are going to be cheering for in a year or two,” Evans told journalist <\/span>Chris McCulley<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
