TRUSSVILLE, AL — A heartbreaking loss by Pinson Valley last week to Hewitt-Trussville dropped the Indians from the top spot in the latest Alabama Sports Writers Association poll. The two-time defending 6A champs lost to the Huskies 40-33.

Auburn commit Armoni Goodwin of Hewitt-Trussville racked up 218 rushing yards and four scores in the win.

The Indians jumped out to a 14-6 lead following a 63-yard touchdown pass to Jaquel Fells Jr. and a 23-yard touchdown pass to Ga’Quincy McKinstry from Pinson Valley starter Barry White, but Hewitt-Trussville cut the lead to two points on a 4-yard touchdown run from Goodwin.
