Spartans Open Football Season With 3 Straight Home Games

MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL — The Mountain Brook Spartans football team is just weeks away from opening the 2019 season. And Spartans fans will be happy to know that the first three games of the season will be played at home in Mountain Brook.

Mountain Brook opens the season August 23 against Northridge High School of Tuscaloosa, and follows that with another home game against Center Point. These are non-region games, which will prepare the Spartans for its first regional game against Tuscaloosa County - also at home.

The Spartans were 9-3 last season but will have to replace 36 departing seniors from last year's roster. This makes the already-tough regional schedule even tougher.

Mountain Brook returns starting quarterback Strother Gibbs, but heas coach Chris Yeager is having to work with an inexperienced offensive line to protect Gibbs. Some of the state's top teams are in Mountain Brook;s region, which will make the schedule a brutal one.

Here is the 2019 Mountain Brook football schedule:

8/23 Northridge

8/29 Center Point

9/6 Tuscaloosa County

9/13 @ Spain Park

9/20 @ Vestavia Hills

10/4 Oak Mountain

10/11 Hewitt-Trussville

10/18 @ Thompson

10/25 Hoover

11/1 @ Gardendale
