TRUSSVILLE, AL — The 2020 high school football season was anything but normal, as COVID-19 affected several games throughout that state. But one aspect of high school football in Alabama remained constant: players from Hewitt-Trussville, Pinson Valley and Clay-Chalkville racked up honors at the end of the season.
