Auburn entered Friday night as the 1-seed in the Class 7A state playoffs.
By the time the night was over, the Tigers' perfect season was over.
Thompson entered Duck Samford Stadium with three losses on its resume, but the Warriors -- which feature Auburn commits Anquon Fegans, Jared Smith and John McGuire -- have extensive playoff experience. They know that when the playoffs start, it's a whole new season, and Thompson advanced with a 34-21 victory over the 1-seeded Auburn High Tigers.
"It was pretty fun, this is my home, so it was good winning down here," Fegans said. "First half we played good, second half we played kinda sluggish. We gotta learn how to finish and keep on pushing."
