The score was 21-14 at halftime, and then the score was carried into the fourth quarter.

That’s when Gagliano fired a 50-yard pass to Kaden Cooper for an electrifying touchdown in the fourth, which tied the game 21-21 with 10 minutes left.

Callaway answered again, punching in a touchdown with 5:47 left — but that just set the stage for Gagliano and Hughley to lead the comeback.

Recent seasons have produced some classics from the Opelika/Callaway series. After a 35-21 win for Callaway in the first-ever meeting in 2018, Opelika won a 10-7 nail-biter in 2019 in Tank Bigsby’s final season for Callaway. Callaway won last season after scoring a field goal to win with three seconds remaining. This set the stage for another close contest this season.

Opelika moves up to 1-0 and will open Regional 2-7A play next Friday against Jeff Davis.

Jaqualen Barnes ran in the touchdown, and Beauregard beat Selma 21-16 Friday night at Hornet Stadium.

Beauregard trailing 16-14 at the end of the third quarter, Barnes broke loose for an uncontained 35-yard touchdown that gave Beauregard a lead of 21-16 with just 4:36 remaining.

Desmond Conner’s 40-yard touchdown run opened Selma’s game. Beauregard was then able to climb out of the hole. Beauregard quarterback AJ Wallace scored later in the first, though Selma’s two-point conversion early kept the Saints out in front 8-7, then Selma scored again with another conversion in the second to take a 16-7 lead into halftime.

Beauregard’s star Kyan Maloy returned the second half kickoff, cutting the lead to 16-14. There was 11:47 left in third. This gave Barnes the opportunity to take the Hornets to the top.

Justin Jones, the second-year head coaching coach, elevates Beauregard to 1-0. Selma was ranked 0-1.

Beauregard hosts Central-Hayneville next week at Hornet Stadium.
