UPDATE: Games set for Sept. 19 have been CANCELED per the county. This is the second set of games to be canceled this season due to extreme heat.


CULLMAN, Ala. โ€“ Four sites will host Cullman County Youth Football Saturday, Sept. 19, with eight local programs competing across the Fireplug, Wee-Wee and Pee-Wee divisions.

Addison visits Fairview and Vinemont travels to Cold Springs at 9 a.m. Good Hope visits Hanceville and Holly Pond travels to West Point at 4 p.m. Cullman has an open date.

Each listed time is the Fireplug kickoff. The Wee-Wee game follows, then the Pee-Wee game. Cold Springs does not field a Pee-Wee team. 

The schedule is confirmed through the league slate published before the season.

Records below are based on finals reported to The Tribune in Week 1โ , Week 2โ  and Week 4โ . A complete Week 3 score sheet was unavailable, so the marks should not be treated as official league standings.

Addison at Fairview

Saturday, Sept. 19, 9 a.m.

  • Fireplug: Addison 0-3, Fairview 2-1
  • Wee-Wee: Addison 0-3, Fairview 2-1
  • Pee-Wee: Addison 1-1, Fairview 3-0

Fairviewโ€™s Pee-Wee team carries the strongest published record into the matchup. The Aggies have posted verified victories over Vinemont, West Point and Hanceville, including a 39-13 win over the Bulldogs last week.

Fairview also defeated Hanceville 12-6 in last weekโ€™s Fireplug game, while Hanceville edged the Aggies 12-6 in the Wee-Wee division.

Addisonโ€™s last reported action came at Cold Springs. The Eagles defeated the Bulldogs 27-12 in Fireplug and 28-0 in Wee-Wee. No Pee-Wee game was played because Cold Springs does not field a team at that level.

Addisonโ€™s Pee-Wee victory came against West Point in the season opener. The Bulldogs fell to Cullman in their other reported game.

Vinemont at Cold Springs

Saturday, Sept. 19, 9 a.m.
