Expect for the stadium to be packed. These two teams are only a little over an hour away from each other. This should be a good one.
Tupelo
Tupelo has a lot to offer on both sides of the ball. I think this game will determine how good their secondary is. This week they face a team who is well known for throwing the ball. They have to make sure they are disciplined this week. Oxford can score fast. Tristan Jernigan Tristan Jernigan 6'2" | 210 lbs | LB Tupelo | 2024 State MS and his guys will have their hands full. They also have freshman like JaReylan McCoy JaReylan McCoy 6'7" | 265 lbs | DL Tupelo | 2026 State MS is also a force they have on defense, but he is only a freshman. I think we in his in the game Oxford may run his way or try to find ways to gain yardage on his side. Not saying it will work. Just saying that could be an option.
Their offense is going to be very good. They have Jeremiah Harrell Jeremiah Harrell 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Tupelo | 2024 State MS at quarterback who is very good also. They have Qua Middlebrooks who can tote the rock out of the backfield. They also have Daelyn Patton Daelyn Patton 6'1" | 205 lbs | ATH Tupelo | 2023 State MS and JQ Witherspoon JQ Witherspoon 5'7" | 160 lbs | WR Tupelo | 2024 State MS at receiver. These guys are going to be up for the challenge.
Oxford
Mack Howard Mack Howard 6'3" | 175 lbs | QB Oxford | 2023 State MS and Roman Gregory will be leading this offense Friday. Howard is a beast at the gun slinging position and he knows how to get the job done. He has some good receivers who know how to go and get the football. Roman Gregory is able to hurt defenses in so many different ways.
Their defense is very stout and they are led by Alex Sanford Alex Sanford 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Oxford | 2023 State MS . Alex is a big boy who makes sure these guys are up for every game. He is going to have his hands full this week. It is going to be very interesting to see how these guys match up with Tupelo this week.
I don’t know who will win this game. This is a very crazy division. Last year Tupelo had a 7-4 overall record and missed the playoffs. When the teams in this division face off it gets very competitive.
