Williams, Mbakwe star as Clay-Chalkville claims 6A title

As expected, some of the state's top recruits were shining Friday night during the Class 6A championship game. And while Alabama commits Ryan Williams of Saraland and Jaylen Mbakwe of Clay-Chalkville made the plays on the offensive end to light up the scoreboard, it was a big defensive stop that decided the result.
With just five seconds remaining in the game, Saraland quarterback KJ Lacey took off toward the end zone but was stopped one-yard short by DJ Barber and Carlos Ivy. The tackle was the final play of the game as the Cougars got the stop they needed to secure a 31-28 victory, claiming their second state title in the last three seasons.
Mbakwe earned MVP honors, finishing with 152 yards and a score through the air while adding 130 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Williams finished the night with 344 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns, equaling his scoring total from the 2022 championship game.

Coach Saban will never retire if he keeps getting freak athletes like these two.

You got that right!

Coach DeBoer will do just fine. He was left a team that could win an NC a lot easier than most.
