Montgomery Catholic was no match for 3A Calera (3-0,2-0) last Friday night.
The Eagles took region foe Montgomery Catholic down 34-13 even with a couple of players playing in different positions than usual.
&8220;I think the defense played very well, very solid,&8221; said Calera head football coach Mac Thompson.
He said Montgomery Catholic runs the Wing T offense, which one doesn&8217;t see a whole lot. And his Eagles only gave up 13 points.
Thompson said his defense got a lot of penetration to stop it before it got started.
For this contest with Kaderius Lacey was out with a strained knee. As a result, Earl Haynes moved to an H-back position, and Paul Winterbottom started at quarterback.
