TRUSSVILLE, AL - A season that saw records fall at Hewitt-Trussville has come to an end, as the Huskies fell Friday night to Thompson 37-13. However, Pinson Valley and CLay-Chalkville kept their seasons alive as the Indians defeated Muscle Shoals 45-21 and the Cougars beat previously undefeated Hartselle 41-7.
