Thompson Warriors Defeat Spain Park to Secure Third Straight Alabama 7-on-7 Championship Title
ALABASTER, Ala. — The dynasty continues. The Thompson Warriors have once again proven their dominance, defeating rival Spain Park to claim their third consecutive Alabama 7-on-7 State Championship in thrilling fashion.
In a matchup filled with intensity, precision passing, and defensive grit, Thompson edged out Spain Park with a final score of 28-21, sealing their legacy as the kings of summer football in Alabama. With this victory, the Warriors become only the second team in state history to win three straight 7-on-7 titles.
Leading the way was rising senior quarterback Sawyer Franklin, who delivered a clinical performance, throwing four touchdowns and orchestrating a perfect two-minute drill to take the lead late in the game. His connection with wide receiver Jaylen Reeves, who hauled in two scores including the game-winner, proved unstoppable throughout the tournament.
“This team doesn’t just want to win — they expect to,” said head coach Mark Freeman. “We’ve built a culture around accountability, competition, and family. This title reflects that.”
Thompson’s defense also shined under pressure, with linebacker Malik Jordan snagging a crucial interception to stop a late Spain Park drive. The Warriors’ defensive unit, often overshadowed in the pass-heavy format, was instrumental in preserving the narrow lead in the final moments.
With this championship, Thompson has not only extended its run of excellence but also set the tone for what’s shaping up to be another dominant fall campaign. Players, coaches, and fans alike now have one clear message:
The Warriors aren’t just winning — they’re building a legacy.
And if this 7-on-7 tournament was any indication, Thompson’s reign over Alabama high school football is far from over.
