Vestavia Hills (AL)

Vestavia, like Cary (NC) who was mentioned previously, has a long and storied history as a powerhouse in Alabama. In 2021, the Rebels won their 16th Alabama State Title in a knockdown affair with defending Champs Thompson. Coach Adams has to like what returns for the Rebels and their ability to defend their title in 2022. State Champs Zach Flurry and John Edwards return as does State Runner-up Carson Farris and State Placers Mac Chandler, Hastings Roberts, Clay Johnston, Harris Mitchell, Trey Saunders, and Andrew Sykes.

The Rebels do lose State Champs Dawson Ray and Bryce Littleton as well as State Runner-up Topher Hays and Placer Leighton Reese to graduation. A bigger loss might be the departure of 2020 State Champ Jack Lamey who transferred to Hoover to finish out his career with his dad (Harley Lamey) as the new head coach of the Bucs. The Rebels counter with 5A-6A State Runner-up Cale Land who moves in from Chelsea. The Rebels have the tougher path in qualifying - through the North with Hewitt-Trussville, Spain Park, Huntsville, Bob Jones, and others. And if they are going to beat Thompson for the traditional title and hold off the likes of Hewitt-Trussville and Spain Park they will need Stone Phillips, Luke Dutton, Grant Taylor, Mitch Taylor, and Jack McMurry ready to make an impact.
