2018 football schedules set for local high schools
By Michael Butler
Local prep teams are looking ahead to next football season and with reclassifications and region realignments the landscape will change.
Tallassee is moving back up to Class 5A and will see some familiar foes from a few years back. Meanwhile, Reeltown and Elmore County remain status quo in Class 2A and 4A respectively.
THS head football coach Mike Battles still has one spot open for 2018, but the remaining slate is in place.
