The Flomaton Hurricanes will blow into East Brewton Friday night to take on the W.S. Neal Eagles. The Eagles, who were 0-10 last year, are under the leadership of first-year coach Doug Hoehn and looking for improvement. The Hurricanes beat W.S. Neal 35-0 last year.

    The ECHS-TR Miller game in Brewton is going to be an absolute shootout.. The last 2 or 3 games between these two teams have been thrillers until the end.. Both are ranked in the top 10 statewide, and this game has been a rivalry for decades.. If you want to see a really good HS football game, take a short ride to Brewton tonight!
