Wilson Love's junior season is taking off and he's only half way through it. He led the Mt. Brook defense with 12 tackles and a sack as the Spartans took down Gardendale 35-7 in a 6A region 6 win.
Love has received letters from several big programs showing interest but he still lists Alabama as his favorite. His older brother Tyler is a freshman on the Bama OL.

Kirkpatrick Honored
Gadsden City DB and no.1 recruit in the state was chosen as defensive player of the week by ASWA. Dre picked off three passes against Etowah last Friday. Apparently, one of the picks was returned for a touchdown but brought back because of a penalty.

Dre's Big Weekend
We posted a few days ago that Dre Kirkpatrick and teammate Kendall Kelly would be in Athens for the Bama/Georgia game. No news yet on whether the win had any influence on an early commit. They sure could use him against receivers like the Bulldog's Green.
Friday night, Dre had his biggest game of the season. He had three pics by the middle of the third quarter to help set up a 35-6 road win over Etowah.
His blog should update within the next couple days so we'll see what he thought about his trip to Athens.
