Gordo Greenwave

Lolley's departure brings excitement to the Northridge program but leaves a large vacancy at the top of the Gordo Greenwave program.

The Alabama High School Athletic Association's Central Board unanimously approved reclassifications for fall sports for 2022 and 2023 on Tuesday. The changes impacted several Tuscaloosa area schools.

Local standout Gordo quarterback Tanner Bailey announced on social media Monday morning that he plans on decommitting from the Oregon Ducks and re-opening his college recruitment.

The Gordo Greenwave (6-2, 4-1) pitching a shut-out for the second straight week defeated the Fayette County Tigers (4-4, 3-2) 27-0 to secure sole possession of second place in Class 4A Region 5.

Northside took advantage of good field position, steady running and strong defense to pull off the 14-12 upset of the state's No. 1 ranked team in Class 4A. The Ram's win tonight is just the second in school history over the Greenwave.

"I get to coach with some amazing assistant coaches as well who work extremely hard for these players and I appreciate all they do for me as well. I dedicate this award to all of them and I receive it on behalf of them."

The Handley Tigers (12-1) out of Roanoke, Alabama defeated the Gordo Greenwave (13-2) 35-20 to win the AHSAA Class 4A State Championship. The Tigers defeated both tuscaloosa-area schools, American Christian Academy and Gordo, in consecutive weeks to win the championship in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Friday is the last day of high school football until August, but it could be the best. From a storybook season for a small team to two 6A powerhouses battling for bragging rights, this final day of the “Super Seven” will have it all.

After a devastating loss to end a Cinderella season, the Northside Rams have been eliminated from playoff contention. Still, Gordo, ACA, and Pickens County all won and advanced to the semifinals of the AHSAA playoffs. With the turf fields of Bryant-Denny Stadium looking green as ever, it is crunch time for the three teams if they want to catch the elusive “blue map.”

Thursday night, the one-seeded Gordo Green Wave (11-1, 6-0) defeated the one-seeded West Limestone Wildcats (11-1, 7-0) 48-13 to advance to the semifinals of the 4A State Playoffs. Under the leadership of junior quarterback Tanner Bailey, the Gordo Green Wave scored seven total touchdowns.
