Friday Night Week 7 High School Football Highlights: Corner RB Dominates with 4 TDs, Vigor, Decatur, and Moody Post Shutouts
Friday night under the lights brought fireworks across Alabama high school football in Week 7, but few performances shined brighter than Corner’s senior running back, Spencer Unruh, who single-handedly carved up Briarwood Christian’s defense with four touchdowns in a thrilling 42-27 victory at Lions Pride Stadium in Birmingham.

Unruh put on a masterclass in versatility, scoring in just about every way possible. He pounded in short-yardage runs from the 1- and 4-yard lines in the first half, showcasing brute strength and goal-line grit. But he wasn’t done; he shifted gears in the third quarter, breaking free for a 76-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Keaton Coffee, a play that left the crowd buzzing. To seal his night, Unruh added a 9-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter, putting the game out of reach and stamping his dominance on the evening.
Corner’s victory not only highlighted Unruh’s star power but also proved the Yellow Jackets can compete with the state’s toughest defenses when their offense clicks on all cylinders.
Shutouts Steal the Spotlight
While Unruh was racking up touchdowns, a trio of defenses were busy pitching perfect games. Vigor, Decatur, and Moody all recorded shutouts, blanking their opponents and flexing defensive muscles that could prove decisive come playoff time.
Vigor stifled their opponent with a relentless pass rush and a turnover-hungry secondary.
Decatur suffocated drives before they could even gain momentum, controlling the tempo from start to finish.
Moody, meanwhile, combined disciplined tackling with opportunistic takeaways to secure a clean sheet.
For all three programs, these shutouts send a clear message: their defenses are playoff-ready and built to dominate.
The Big Picture
Week 7 proved to be a showcase of individual brilliance and team-wide resilience. Unruh’s four-touchdown performance will undoubtedly earn statewide recognition, while Vigor, Decatur, and Moody reminded everyone that defense still wins championships.
As the regular season heads into its closing stretch, every Friday night feels more like a playoff preview where stars rise, defenses tighten, and reputations are made under the glow of stadium lights.
