That all comes to an end this week as they take on the undefeated 3rd ranked Hartselle Tigers. Luverne is undefeated in 2A but likewise has not beaten an opponent with a winning record. In fact, the 5 teams Luverne has defeated have won a total of only four games this year. But in order to win the region, Luverne will need to get past foes Thorsby (4-2) and Isabella
(4-2).
6) It was a roller coaster week for the Ohatchee Indians last week. After having their head coach suspened by the school, the Indians grouped together and upset #2 ranked Piedmont 28-24.
