The Alabama High School Football Playoffs begin this week. 21 of our local teams will take their first step on the road to State.

The Dothan Tigers needed every win and even every win of their opponents to slip into the post-season. Now, the task ahead is to travel to Prattville and to face the three-time defending Class 6A State Champion Lions.

We caught the Tigers out on the practice fields Monday as they prep for their first playoff game in eight years.

Head Coach Kelvis White is well aware of his team's challenge. But, he says they fought hard to get to the playoffs, and they're ready to keep fighting.
