Dothan's Private Schools Make History Tonight

Tonight, history will be made at Rip Hewes Stadium. For the first time in history, Providence Christian Eagles and Houston Academy Raiders will clash on the football field. Wow! How exciting for all these guys. Providence is starting their 3rd season of varsity football, while Houston Academy is a vetran in the sport. This will prove to be one of the biggest games some of these guys will play. Respect has been established between the 2 teams as they fueled the friendly fire over the summer with the Eagles and the Raiders running drills together. Providence had a great 7-4 record in their 2nd season and advanced to the first round of the 1A playoffs. Houston Academy also advanced to the playoffs with their 7-3 record in the 2A class. This may be the inaugural meeting of the 2 teams, but for Coach Emory Latta and Coach Jimmy Addison it will be all too familiar. They have met at Rip Hewes on quite a few occasions when coaching Northview and Dothan High Schools. Neither school has lost a season opener in 3 years, so tonight will be full of energy and intensity. Go out and support football from all our Dothan teams this weekend! Go Team!!!
