PRZ MS Power Rankings Week 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's time to take a look at the Power Rankings in Mississippi as we approach Week 3:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol><li>Brandon (2-0)</li></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nate Blount paced the Dogs in a 28-7 convincing win over Madison Central last week with 2 TD's. Will this be a pre-cursor to a later matchup between these two 6A teams later in the year?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week: vs. @ Clinton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> 2. Ocean Springs (2-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Greyhound running attack has been among the best in the state in the early parts of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week: vs. George County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> 3. Picayune (2-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Speaking of quality rushing attacks... [player_tooltip player_id='108971' first='Dante' last='Dowdell'] and company led the way to victory last week over perennial 3A favorite, Jeff Davis County. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week: vs. Gulfport</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> 4. Starkville (2-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In one of last week's most anticipated matchups, [player_tooltip player_id='273258' first='Trey' last='Petty'] led the way for the Yellowjackets in a big offensive performance to defeat rival West Point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week: vs. Olive Branch</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> 5. Madison Central (1-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sometimes an early season defeat can do a lot to kickstart a team. Could last week's loss to Brandon be that for the Jags?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week: vs. Northwest Rankin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> 6. Oak Grove (2-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It took a massive 2nd half last week for Oak Grove to improve to 2-0 as they won on a field goal as time expired over Wayne County.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week: vs. Hattiesburg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> 7. Louisville (2-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wildcats made short work of Kemper County, winning 54-0 last week. Louisville appears to be the class of 4A-North at this point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week: vs. Columbus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> 8. Tupelo (2-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Golden Wave easily had their way with Lee County foe Saltillo last week. The boys from Tupelo feel very under-rated at number 8.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week: @ Corinth</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> 9. Laurel (2-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In what was probably the biggest nail biter of week 2, Laurel held D'Iberville late to improve to 2-0.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week: vs. Mendenhall</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> 10. Oxford (1-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Chargers looked more like what we expected offensively last week in a win over South Panola. One of the biggest matchups for the week is taking place in Lafayette County. We will find out if Oxford is for real.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week: vs. Lafayette County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
