Auburn football's championship year

Another year has come and gone, but the community still feels the impact of Auburn High School's historic Class AA State Championship football victory.

One year ago today, on Nov. 25, 2006, more than 10,000 fans watched Auburn upset defending state champs Monroe-Woodbury at the Carrier Dome in an overtime nail-biter, 27-26.

“The courage that the kids showed on the field even when they were down,” Auburn Mayor Timothy Lattimore said, “was inspirational to the whole city.”
