MAPLESVILLE – The Maplesville Red Devils harnessed their fourth consecutive win Friday night in a 50-0 shutout of the Autaugaville Eagles.

The undefeated Devils (4-0) kept the Eagles winless (0-5) in a homecoming victory that represented the best of Maplesville football, coach Brent Hubbert said.

“Our kids probably played the best first half of football we’ve played in a couple of years,” he said. “We executed well on both sides of the ball. I think that shows maturity, and it’s carrying over each week.”
