JUSTIN GRAVES: Fairview starting to grab people’s attention By Justin Graves The Cullman Times There was a time when Fairview High’s football team was flying quietly under the radar.
Not many people outside of Cullman County knew about Fairview. And there were even fewer people giving the Aggies a chance. That’s changed in a hurry. But when you’re putting crooked numbers up on the scoreboard every week, people are going to find out. Last week, Fairview found itself on the Alabama Sports Writers Association’s Class 4A football poll for the first time since the early 1990s. Look for the Aggies to climb even higher this week — and even higher the week after that. Around here, most people expected this out of Fairview. People that follow Cullman County football knew the Aggies had plenty of talent returning. They also thought this could be a playoff team. But what about the folks outside Cullman County? Did they know about Fairview? To be perfectly honest, not really. It’s been a while since a Fairview team made the playoffs. It’s been even longer since that community has had a postseason win. So when it was first rumored that Fairview may be a contender in Class 4A, Region 7 this season, there were a few chuckles in some parts of Northeast Alabama. When they heard Fairview, the first thing that came to mind was pretender. They thought the Aggies were crazy for even thinking this little ol’ team from Cullman County could compete with the likes of North Jackson, Guntersville and Plainview. Wonder if they’re laughing now? Probably not. This Fairview team is no longer flying under the radar.
