In the wake of the shooting that took place at Ladd-Peebles Sports and Entertainment Complex last Friday night during the Williamson-Vigor football game, all remaining regular-season games scheduled at the venue have been moved. It is not known at this time if playoff games, which begin the week of Nov. 6-8 will also require finding another site. Vigor, which has won the Class 4A, Region 1 crown and thus will have a home game in the first round, is a team that could be affected. Teams that finish first and second in their respective regions earn first-round home games. The teams other than Vigor that use Ladd-Peebles as their home field include Williamson, LeFlore, Murphy and Davidson. Williamson could earn a first-round game from that group. The others will not earn playoff berths this season.
As a result of the changes, tonight’s (Thursday, Oct. 21) Faith Academy-B.C. Rain game will be played at Theodore High School’s field. This is the third change for the game this season. Also, the Friday, Oct. 22 game between LeFlore and St. Paul’s, originally set for Ladd-Peebles, will now be played at St. Paul’s.
Next week, the Baldwin County vs. LeFlore game, originally set for Ladd-Peebles, will now be played at Blount on Thursday, Oct. 27, while the Murphy vs. Fairhope game, originally planned for Ladd-Peebles, will now be played at Fairhope, also on Thursday.
