First-year Dothan head coach Jed Kennedy knows about the Enterprise-Dothan rivalry after spending three seasons as the Wildcats defensive coordinator.
However, Kennedy says Friday night’s game has more importance than bragging rights of a rivalry for both teams.
The Wolves, ranked No. 8 in the state rankings, enter with a 5-2 overall record and 3-2 in tightly bunched 7A, Region 2. The visiting Wildcats, who dropped out of the state rankings this week after a 42-26 loss to Prattville, are 3-3 and 1-3. “As I was explaining to the kids, rivalries are awesome for our kids and our community, but we need to understand and remember the most important part of this game is us putting ourselves in a position to be a playoff team,” Kennedy said. “That is more important than any aspect of the rivalry.”
“Last year, we were an odd front and this year they are a four-man front. We ran the single wing on offense and this year they are a spread team, so it is completely different systems on both sides of the ball and a completely new coaching staff too.” Both teams enter after a loss last week. While Enterprise fell to Prattville, Dothan lost to No. 5 state ranked Central of Phenix City 35-28.
