Spain Park (1-2) at Mountain Brook (3-0)

Date: Friday, Sept. 14, 2018
Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Spartan Stadium
Spain Park heads to Mountain Brook to play the Spartans in a Class 7A, Region 3 contest on Friday night.

What to watch: Spain Park is coming off back-to-back losses, including a region loss to Vestavia Hills last Friday. Mountain Brook has looked dominant in its first three contests, but the competition stiffens this week.

Impact player: Mountain Brook defensive lineman Jay Barze has come up with a big play each of the last two weeks. Two weeks ago, he intercepted a pass and followed that up with a blocked punt last Friday.

Last meeting: Mountain Brook prevailed in triple overtime to defeat Spain Park, 51-50, on Sept. 22, 2017. Spain Park leads the series, 8-6.

What this game means: A Mountain Brook win would put the Spartans in a good position in the region while putting the Jags in a big hole. If the Jags can pull off the minor upset, the two teams will be tied in the region.
