County rivals Brantley and Luverne faced off Thursday night at Brantley High School's football stadium.

It is estimated that over 5,000 people attended this game

A lot of people didn’t get a seat and were parking wherever they could.

The game was very enjoyable to watch.

As with any contact sport someone is bound to get hurt, but fans always pray that no one will. Unfortunately, the Bulldogs' junior linebacker Scotty Abadilla, was severely injured and was transported off the field by ambulance and transported to the Crenshaw County Hospital.

Hospital officials ran several tests and kept Scotty over night. Monday he had to be taken to Montgomery for more tests. He is now up and walking and is required to wear a neck brace.

Scotty and his family would like to thank everyone who has expressed their concern for him.
