MAPLESVILLE — Coach Brent Hubbert and his assistants talked to the No.4 Maplesville football team Wednesday about Friday’s game against R.A. Hubbard.

Hubbard, which was ranked No. 3 in the state Class 1A poll, came to the No. 6 Devils’ stadium Friday with a 4-0 record against Maplesville. And Hubbert knew all about them.

“We had only played them four times in history,” he said after the 20-0 victory. “We lost to them once for the state championship and three times in the semis.”
