A-List lookahead: It’s Taulia vs. Tyson, Part 2

quote:
Alabama fans will get a second chance to see quarterback commits Paul Tyson of Hewitt-Trussville and Thompson’s Taulia Tagovailoa go head-to-head this week.

Just three weeks ago, Tagovailoa engineered a memorable comeback as the Warriors erased a 28-0 deficit and earned a 63-49 victory at Thompson’s new on-campus stadium in a game played on ESPN2.

This week, there's more on the line than bragging rights when Hewitt-Trussville visits Thompson for an AHSAA Class 7A second-round playoff game. The winner advances and stays in the championship chase, while the loser's high school career ends.

Tyson is coming off one of the best performances of his high school career in Friday's 43-41 first-round victory over James Clemens. He engineered a 97-yard game-winning drive and completed nine passes on the final march, including the decisive 9-yard touchdown to Jamye Reese in the final minute.He finished 25-of-41 passing for 326 yards and four touchdowns.

Both quarterbacks have already thrown for more than 3,000 yards this season.
