What team is unexpected to make a playoff run? Always remember the teams that have a lot returning. Always remember the team who got put out in the first round, but they were young lacking depth. Here are a few teams you need to look out for.
Morton
LAST YEAR’S RECORD: 6-6, lost to Raleigh in the second round of the playoffs.
Morton has a lot of young guys who will be hungry to touch the field this season. They have a new coach who is ready to bring some fire to this team. Last year they only lost one division game. Look for this team to continue to build off the momentum they had last season. Xavier McDonald will be a guy that will make some big plays for them on both sides of the football. With his young energy this team can go a very long way. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this team go farther than they did last season.
Aberdeen
LAST SEASON’S RECORD: 6-5, Lost to North Panola in the second round.
Aberdeen is a town that knows how to get it done. These guys have been to the big house. They are wanting to get back there. They have a good team this year who is hungry to get it done. Their offense is very fast. During the summer they even showed that they may be able to get the job done throwing the ball. Their defense is going to be stout. Their LB core will make a lot of plays. Their secondary is going to sit back and get after it. This will be a fun season to watch their football team.
Noxubee Co
LAST YEAR’S RECORD: 7-4, lost to Winona in the playoffs.
Noxubee Co has their QB back and they are ready to attack the season. These guys are loaded with good receivers. KaMario Taylor has a lot of options to choose from when he gets ready to throw the football. This team is going to be very sneaky this year. Their passing game is going to have a lot of defensive coordinators scratching their heads. Coach Young knows he has some good guys to compete with. AJ Little is coming into his senior year ready to make some plays. Him and DJ Welch are going to be amazing this season.
