BREMEN, Ala. – Cold Springs opened up region play on its home field Friday night and after honoring this year’s seniors before kickoff, the Eagles fended off the Blue Devils 21-19 to improve to 3-0 on the season.
Sulligent took an early 7-0 lead after running one in from 4 yards out and maintained a 7-0 advantage going into the second quarter. The Eagles got on the board in the second when quarterback Brodi Williams connected with Roberto Ayala from 10 yards to out tie the game at 7 and with just over a minute to play in the half, Williams hit Izaiah Estell for a 55-yard touchdown pass to make it a 14-7 game going into the break.
