Saying that Aliceville jumped on Greene County early would be an understatement. The Yellow Jackets came out hot from behind the arc and led the Tigers 11-0 after one quarter, and taking a 13-0 lead before Greene County got on the board in the second quarter. The Tigers would get in a groove during the second quarter, however, and take a lead to halftime they never relinquished, winning 49-33.

Cold Springs entered the Region 5 matchup with Aliceville at 4-0 with wins over Meek, Berry, Southeastern, and Sumiton Christian, but their stiffest test thus far would come at Aliceville Friday night. The Yellow Jackets scored early and scored often as they handed the Eagles their first loss of the season.

“We have to still polish up things, but the good news is that we’re going in the right direction,” Aliceville head coach Melvin Pete said.
