78 years ago tonight on September 10, 1948, the Red Devils opened the season by dominating an "unequally matched" Vina team, 39-6.
The game marked the first played in the new larger stadium with concrete bleachers seating 1,200 on the north side of the field. Additional wooden bleachers would eventually increase stadium capacity as high as 3,300.
The concrete stands south of Moulton Middle School are the last remaining feature of the Red Devils' home (called "Memorial Stadium" throughout its construction, but apparently never again once completed) until 1961.

27 years ago tonight on September 10, 1999, the Lawrence County Red Devils, ranked #5 in class 4A, improved to 3-0 by shutting out the visiting Hatton Hornets 20-0 at Red Devil Stadium. The win was the 15th straight regular season victory for the Red Devils, and part of the longest such streak at LCHS since 1948.
Despite being held in check offensively in the first half, the Red Devils dominated the Hornets on defense, allowing Hatton only five first downs and 64 yards total offense, including 0 pass completions for the game. Junior linebacker Keith Cheatham led the Red Devil defense with 15 tackles and a fumble recovery, and also returned an interception 36 yards for the Devils' first score. Junior linebacker Brandon Nappier also tallied 11 tackles, while future-Tennessee Titan, senior defensive tackle David Stewart made three tackles-for-loss.

33 years ago tonight on September 10, 1993, Wesley Daniel's 16-yard touchdown with 12 seconds remaining gave the Red Devils their first win of the season over East Limestone. After taking an early lead on Terrie Logston's touchdown run, the Devils had to come from behind twice in the second half. Andy Smith's 63-yard touchdown run gave the Devils a 13-12 advantage, but the Indians scored in the fourth quarter to regain the lead, 18-13. Shawn Hill forced an Indian fumble and Heath Greene recovered for the Devils in the final minutes, giving the Red Devils a final opportunity. Daniel's run capped off the late drive and the Red Devil victory.

44 years ago tonight on September 10, 1982, the Red Devils upset Fairview, 39-7, to move to 2-1 and into first place in the Tri-County Conference. Running the ball "right at them," the Devils employed a balanced rushing attack, with four different Red Devils (Patrick Echols [2], Lymos Young, Sheldon Wallace, and Patrick McDaniel) rushing for touchdowns, and all contributing between 44 and 60 of the team's 201 rushing yards.
The Devil defense, stingy all season (allowing a generational-low 11.9 points-per-game) performed exceptionally, allowing just eight first downs and forcing four turnovers.

55 years ago tonight on September 10, 1971, Coach Virgil Holder picked up his first win at LCHS with a 20-6 victory at Rogers. LCHS led the whole way after taking a 13-0 first half lead on a Nathaniel Bibb touchdown run and a Lee Slaton-to-Steve Wiley touchdown pass. Bibb's 58-yard touchdown run at the end of the third quarter put the game away as the Red Devils improved to 1-1.
Holder, tasked with replacing Grady Elmore (the program's winningest coach), would compile a 7-12-1 record as LCHS coach in 1971-72.

LCHS and Priceville meet tomorrow night for just the third time historically, after meetings as region opponents in both 2024 and 2025. The least-played opponent on Lawrence County’s 2026 schedule, the Red Devil-Bulldog series is tied, 1-1.

The teams first met in 2024 in Moulton, with LCHS clinching its second-straight playoff appearance under Coach Trent Walker, falling behind twice by two-touchdown deficits before winning 36-33 with a second-half comeback that featured five lead-changes. The game served as the breakout game for eighth-grade running back Tavian Jones, who registered his first 100-yard rushing game with 127 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner with one minute remaining.

Jones repeated his 100-yard performance in the teams’ 2025 meeting in Priceville, rushing for 104 yards and two touchdowns in a losing effort. Jones’ first touchdown gave the Red Devils a 6-0 lead before Priceville scored 28-straight points, followed by 18 fourth-quarter points, in a 53-13 win. The Devils played the game without Jones’ freshman backfield mate, Eli Mitchell, who missed the game due to injury, and were crippled by four turnovers, which led to 26 Bulldog points.

September 7, 1961 (65 years ago tonight) marked the date of the final game played in the old LCHS stadium, south of present-day Moulton Middle School. Coach Jim Blevins' Red Devils sent the old stadium out in style, with a 20-0 win over Central. Quarterback Billy Suggs scored all three touchdowns in the win.
The game was originally slated to be the first game in Red Devil Stadium, the Devils' $25,000 home adjacent to then-brand new Lawrence County High School, but with construction running behind schedule, the grand opening was delayed two weeks until September 22nd.

53 years ago tonight on September 7, 1973, Lynn Thompson got his first win as LCHS head coach with a 7-0 shutout victory on the road against Rogers.
Dwain Reed set up the winning drive in the third quarter by recovering a fumble at the Rogers 26, then rushed for the 10-yard touchdown himself.

Game accounts from The Decatur Daily and The Moulton Advertiser following first-year coach Grady Elmore's third game at LCHS, 81 years ago tonight (September 7, 1945), as his Blue Devils (still unscored upon) defeated Red Bay.
The articles are identical except for the Advertiser's amendment of the final score and quarterback Ray McWhorter's extra point following Carroll Hill's touchdown. The win stretched Lawrence County's undefeated streak to eight games.

Remembering Clebie Wallace, LCHS Class of 1921, born 126 years ago today on September 7, 1900.
Before a long career in education, Clebie Wallace was a member of Lawrence County High School's fifth football team (the first coached by the school's first "permanent" head coach, John Forney Stevenson), starting at both left halfback and right guard. Although the 1920 team finished just 2-6 and carries the dubious distinction of being handed the biggest defeat in program history (a 77-0 loss at Marion County), it was an unlikely game two weeks earlier when Wallace made his contribution to LCHS football lore. From his halfback position, Wallace "made a nice end run for a touchdown" as LCHS defeated Florence Normal (now the University of North Alabama), 26-7, in the Lawrence County High program's only victory against collegiate competition.
Clebie Wallace went on to graduate from both Jacksonville State Teachers College and Athens College, followed by an education career that included stints as principal at Speake Junior High and in Mobile County, and a failed bid for Lawrence County Superintendent of Education in 1940 (a race won by Nathaniel Almon, a member of the first LCHS football team in 1915).
