WELLBORN — Wellborn’s schedule wasn’t built to be friendly to its players. The Panthers played ten straight Friday nights, saving their bye week for the final week of the regular season.
That decision paid off Friday night as Wellborn throttled Colbert County, 36-8, in the opening round of the Class 2A AHSAA state football playoffs at Jeff Smith Field at The Hill.
