MAPLESVILLE, Ala.-- The defending Class 3A State Champions, Fyffe Red Devils scorched the Isabella Wildcats on Friday night, 30-6.

The Red Devils picked up a safety early in the first quarter.  With 1:09 remaining in the opening quarter,  Brodie Hicks stampeded down the field for the 15-yard touchdown.  Kyle Dukes, brought in the 2-point conversion to take the 10-0 lead. 

Dukes made a 32-yard pass connection to Austin Mulligan with 1:25 remaining in the second quarter. Dukes plowed into the endzone for the 2-point conversion.  Fyffe snuck in another touchdown to go into the half, with the 24-0 advantage.

Aubrey Baker scored on a 1-yard scamper with 10:24 remaining in the fourth.  Isabella put their only points on the board with less than two minutes remaining in the game, on a 3-yard scurry into the endzone.

“I thought it was a typical first game.  It was hot, humid and everyone got tired.  We tried to play hard for the most part but we have to get much better everywhere” stated Fyffe Head Coach Paul Benefield. “I thought WIll Stephens played hard and did his job most of the time.  Brodie Hicks ran hard and played decent on defense.  Jake Wooden played pretty good.”

Fyffe will have a bye week this week before hosting the Collinsville Panthers on September 3.
