Williamson’s 100-Point Blowout Over Murphy Stuns Alabama High School Football
High school football fans in Alabama thought they’d seen it all—until Friday night. At Ladd-Peebles Stadium, the Williamson Lions etched their name into one of the most jaw-dropping box scores in recent memory: Williamson 100, Murphy 0.

By halftime, the scoreboard already told a brutal story. The Lions stormed into the break with a 73-0 lead, a margin so lopsided it felt less like a game and more like a track meet where Williamson never slowed down.
Coach Antonio Coleman, caught between the thrill of dominance and the weight of sportsmanship, admitted he tried to rein things in.
“I asked the ref, and he was fine with it. He even suggested shortening the quarters to eight minutes. But when he asked Murphy’s coach, Sherman Williams, he didn’t want to run the clock.”
That decision meant the second half carried on under standard timing, and Williamson kept piling on, eventually crossing the century mark—a feat rarely seen at any level of football.
The Bigger Story Behind the Score
On paper, this was a mismatch. Williamson’s speed, size, and relentless energy overwhelmed Murphy from the opening kickoff. Touchdown runs came in waves, the defense turned stops into instant scoring chances, and special teams joined the party. By the time the final whistle blew, players and fans alike were left shaking their heads not in disbelief that Williamson had won, but in sheer astonishment at the margin.
For Coleman, the win wasn’t about embarrassing an opponent. It was about keeping his team focused, disciplined, and prepared for the bigger battles ahead in a long season.
What This Means Going Forward
In Alabama, where high school football isn’t just a sport but a living tradition, a score like this reverberates. Williamson’s commanding victory sends a message: they’re not just contenders they’re a force. For Murphy, the loss will sting, but it may also serve as a rallying point, a moment to reset and rebuild in the face of adversity.
The Human Element
Ask anyone who was in the stands, and you’ll hear the same refrain: “I’ve never seen anything like it.” A century of points on a Friday night under the lights is the kind of legend that will be whispered about for years. Yet behind the staggering numbers lies a more complicated truth—about competition, sportsmanship, and the delicate balance between pushing your team to greatness and respecting the game itself.
