(Samson coaching staff at Florala vs. New Brockton Jamboree) The last time Samson played in Florala the Wildcats defeated the Tigers 62-0 with a Robbie Evans led offense and Doug Vickery as the head coach. The two teams started their rivalry in 1947 when Florala won 20-0. Since then the teams have played 53 times with Florala holding a 29-22-2 edge.
