Hoover‘s run of three straight Alabama high school football championships is over. The Buccaneers lost to Spain Park 7-6 Friday night in the Class 7A semifinals. It was the second time this year that Spain Park beat the Bucs. Earlier this year, Spain Park snapped Hoover’s 43-game in-state win streak.
In two week’s Spain Park will play McGill-Toolen for the state title.
Hoover wasn’t the only three-time defending champ to lose Friday. Defending 3A champ Madison Academy also suffered a loss. Piedmont beat Madison Academy 35-21. Coming into Friday night, all seven defending 2014 state champs were still alive.
