The Fayette County High School Tigers got their first taste of action under the Friday night lights on Aug. 14, hosting a four-team football jamboree at John Morgan Brown Stadium. Fayette County was joined by Mars Hill Bible, Tuscaloosa Academy and Bibb County for the preseason event, giving the teams an opportunity to put weeks of summer workouts and preseason practices to the test before the start of regular-season play. The Tigers made the most of the opportunity, shutting out both of their opponents while scoring a combined 33 points during four quarters of jamboree action. Fayette County first faced Mars Hill Bible, with the teams playing two 12-minute quarters. The opening matchup proved to be a defensive battle, with neither team putting many points on the scoreboard. Fayette County managed to break through for the only touchdown of the contest while the Tigers’ defense kept Mars Hill scoreless. The Tigers finished the two-quarter matchup with a 6-0 victory.
