Week 14 Playoff Games

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>MHSAA Football Playoffs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Times are critical now. If you lose you are going home. The regular season record is out the window. What your team did last week is out the window. Janet Jackson once asked what have you done for me lately? That's the energy during this time of the year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Class 1A</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simmons at Biggersville<br>South Delta at McEvans<br>Taylorsville at Hamilton<br>West Lowndes at Bay Springs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simmons and Biggersville meet up for a game that may shock us. Biggersville is a very good team and they know how to win. They have some great young running backs like Jayce Taylor that can get it done. Dylan Rowsey is a senior over there doing a great job for them as well. They have been there before. McEvans is on a mission this year. Can they get it done? We will go deeper into these games when we break down each class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Class 2A</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eupora at Northside<br>Choctaw County at Charleston<br>Scott Central at Philadelphia<br>Lake at Velma Jackson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Choctaw County and Charleston are very familiar with each other. Earlier in the year they faced each other in a tough play-off game that resulted with Charleston having to forfeit due to an ineligible player. [player_tooltip player_id='350948' first='Caleb' last='Cunningham'] will be ready for this one and there will be a lot of eyes on him. Deondre Riley is a guy to keep up with for Charleston. Dre Riley is a very good player. I'm guessing they still think about that a lot. Scott Central vs Philadelphia will be the game to see for this classification. That is going to be a good one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Class 3A</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kossuth at Noxubee County<br>Winona at Amory<br>Wesson at Raleigh<br>Magee at Hazlehurst</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Noxubee County is sticking around showing why championships come through their team. Now that they have their starting quarterback back things have been interesting. He's delivering the rock like a general. JDC is out of the way and Raleigh seems to have their eyes on the goal. [player_tooltip player_id='106167' first='Suntarine' last='Perkins'] has his eyes on a ring. Will it be them?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Class 4A</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Itawamba AHS at Houston<br>Louisville at Caledonia<br>Quitman at Mendenhall<br>Poplarville at Stone</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Itawamba has been on a roll this season. They are undefeated and just keep on playing hard. [player_tooltip player_id='107295' first='Isaac' last='Smith'] made some very great catches last night. One was a very good one in the back of the endzone. [player_tooltip player_id='340743' first='Gabriel' last='Moore'] and Christavious Savier had Louisville flying high last night. They have to go back to Caledonia for a repeat of last year's third round matchup. This is going to be the game to see.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Class 5A</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Neshoba Central at West Point<br>Callaway at Vicksburg<br>Vancleave at Gautier<br>West Jones at Picayune</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='344052' first='Kahnen' last='Daniels'] received his first offer from Miss State yesterday then went on to help West Point win a football game. That's the kind of weekend kids dream about. Neshoba Central is looking to rain on those dreams. [player_tooltip player_id='108971' first='Dante' last='Dowdell'] and Picayune are sticking around. [player_tooltip player_id='344053' first='Chris' last='Davis'] is going to have a lot to say as well. You can believe [player_tooltip player_id='344138' first='Jamonta' last='Waller'] is ready to lead their defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Class 6A</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Starkville at Clinton<br>Madison Central at Tupelo<br>Warren Central at Brandon<br>Oak Grove at Ocean Springs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Starkville beat Southaven in great fashion last night. [player_tooltip player_id='273258' first='Trey' last='Petty'] has seen some things. This goes to show you that strength of schedule plays a big factor. These guys will be lead by [player_tooltip player_id='139597' first='Braylon' last='Burnside'] and [player_tooltip player_id='340821' first='Jaylon' last='York'] on offense. This should be a great finish for them. Warren Central vs Brandon will be a good one as well. [player_tooltip player_id='273250' first='Landon' last='Varnes'] and [player_tooltip player_id='108964' first='Jarvis' last='Durr'] have to get this team ready. Nate Blount stays ready so he doesn't have to get ready. They also have [player_tooltip player_id='107036' first='Lester' last='Miller'] on the island. Madison Central vs Tupelo should also be a good one. [player_tooltip player_id='108979' first='Isaiah' last='Spencer'] is playing with a chip on his shoulder to prove he is worthy of multiple power five offers. Next week is going to be a good week for football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
