The Italy Gladiators overcome an early touchdown by the Wortham Bulldogs to emerge victorious in the final moments of their district duel this past Friday night, keeping their playoff hopes alive!

The Gladiators had momentum coming off a 48-26 win against Dawson but the highly ranked Chilton Pirates defended their home turf with an important district win over Italy.

Enjoy photos and a video from the 2014 Homecoming Parade and Pep Rally. Bonfire coverage is also included in the video.

The Gladiators defeat Dawson 48-26 to win homecoming, quarterback Joe Celis gains 249 yards and scores 3 TDs, Coby Jeffords scores 4 TDs and Kelsey Nelson and Chase McGinnis are crowned the 2014 Italy High School Homecoming Queen and King!!!

The Gladiators feel the sting of the Meridian Yellowjackets after a 48-26 district loss to their old time foes. The Gladiators will no doubt look to rebound in their homecoming matchup against visiting Dawson on Friday.

The Italy Gladiators score their first points of the 2014 season and win their district opener over the Frost Polar Bears 35-19 with senior Gladiator running back Coby Jeffords rushing for 5 touchdowns.

The Italy Gladiators were off to a strong start against visiting Blooming Grove but injuries turned the tide in favor of the Lions.

The Gladiators begin their 2014 campaign 0-2 after a loss to Maypearl but hope to get on track against the Blooming Grove Lions this coming Friday in what will be Italy’s first home game.

The JV Gladiators showed promise but the visiting Maypearl JV showed up ready to play on Thursday at historic Willis Field in Italy.

The Gladiators gave it their all and battled to the end in a losing effort against Kerens but hope to right their war chariots against rival Maypearl this Friday night.

The Gladiators received an influx of new players while already relying on younger players to fill their varsity roster. Therefore, Head Coach Charles Tindol played them all in a scrimmage against Palmer’s best. Freshman thru seniors, every Italy player was a varsity Gladiator this past Thursday.

The 2A Italy Gladiators match the 3A Valley Mills Eagles in a pad-popping, hard fought scrimmage with Italy turning question marks about their team into a bunch of these: !!!!!!!!!!!
