NORTHPORT — A 65-yard touchdown run by Lucas Stubbs on the opening play of the game set the tone for a 28-point first quarter and a 56-10 Vestavia Hills win at Tuscaloosa County on Friday.

The Rebels (6-2 overall, 4-2 Class 7A, Region 3) used 44 plays to rack up 465 yards on offense. The win sets up a showdown with rival Hoover in the Region 3 finale Oct. 24.

“I’m proud of our players for playing good football and putting the game away in the first half. That’s what good teams do, and we’re a good team,” said VHHS head coach Robert Evans. “Next week is why you get into coaching. Big game, big stakes, great rivalry. Hoover may be the most talented team in the region, and we’ll have to play clean to have a chance to win. Our kids believe we can beat anyone on a given night, and so do I.”
