Hillcrest Patriots

The Hillcrest grad will face off against his hometown team this Saturday.

Despite losing their two leading scorers for the rest of the season, Hillcrest's goal of getting back to the state championship and winning it all hasn't changed.

Hillcrest quarterback Ethan Crawford suffered an ankle injury in the Patriots' 35-14 win against McAdory on Friday night.

Hillcrest finishes its season a perfect 10-0.

On a night featuring running clocks and shortened quarters, there were indeed some blowouts but also some nail biters in West Alabama high school football. Here’s a look at the scoreboard:

Hillcrest beat Bessemer City 47-16 to stay undefeated on senior night.

The Hillcrest Patriots (4-0, 2-0) made school history by defeating the Hueytown Golden Gophers (1-3, 1-1) for the first time since 2013 and seizing control of 6A Region 4. Both teams were led by superstar quarterbacks, Ethan Crawford and Earl Woods, but it was Crawford and the Patriots who emerged victorious in a 54-44 shootout.

Due to the threat of inclement weather, multiple high school football games have been pushed up this week.

The Armwood Hawks (0-1) took a 9-hour bus ride to Tuscaloosa, Al., to take on the Hillcrest Patriots (2-0) in a high profile week two matchup. The Patriots sent the Hawks home to Florida with a 35-25 loss behind the effort of star quarterback Ethan Crawford's five rushing touchdowns.

Hillcrest is undefeated after one week of play.
