The Springwood Wildcats dropped a 30-28 heart-breaker to Coosa Valley Academy in their season opener on Friday night.
Trailing by six points late, Coosa Valley scored a touchdown to tie it before taking the lead with the two-point conversion with 3:42 to play.
The Wildcats drove down the field and had a chance, but a potential game-winning field-goal attempt was unsuccessful.
The Wildcats took the lead in the fourth quarter on a touchdown run by Tucker Sides before the Rebels rallied to win it.
Sides caught a touchdown pass from Adam Baltes in addition to his scoring run, and Jax Cheeney had two touchdown runs.
