Mountain Brook's Griffin, Fleming Earn 1st Team All-State Honors

MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL — Although Mountain Brook's 2019 football season ended sooner than the Spartans would have liked it to, the season can be considered a success on several fronts.

The Spartans reached the playoffs, were ranked in the top 10 for most of the season and have three players on the Alabama Sports Writers Association 7A All-State Team.

Linebacker Clark Griffin and offrensive lineman Andrew Fleming each earned First Team honors, while defensive back and kick returner Logan Brewer was a Second Team selection. Defensive back Will Yarbro was an honorable mention selection.
