7A North Half Champ Predictions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 7A is loaded again. This class is going to be in the first season of football this year. Most of the larger 6A schools from previous years are now moving up to 7A. I am very anxious to see how this season plays out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Starkville</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We all know that Starkville is back loaded again this season. This team has all the tools they need to go back to the state championship game and repeat this season. I think that [player_tooltip player_id='273258' first='Trey' last='Petty'] is going to have another very dominant season. [player_tooltip player_id='139597' first='Braylon' last='Burnside'] is going to have another 1000-yard season. Courtland Cooper is going to be sharing the rock with [player_tooltip player_id='346421' first='Jay' last='Stevenson']. They also have a very loaded defense. [player_tooltip player_id='716273' first='Charles' last='Woodard'] and Parker Simpson are going to be two of the guys making big plays on the defensive side of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Madison Central</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We all know that the Jaguars are going to find a way to get in the mix. I do not know much about their offense this season, but I know they have a very solid defense. [player_tooltip player_id='346401' first='Ryan' last='McCall'] is a leader in the linebacker group. They also have [player_tooltip player_id='910012' first='Denym' last='Mitchell'] who will be leading their secondary. It is going to be a very interesting season for Madison Central.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tupelo</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tupelo is one of the best teams in the state. They are going to go out and do big things every season. They are one of the top three biggest schools in the state. That means they have a lot of talent to choose from. [player_tooltip player_id='344100' first='Jeremiah' last='Harrell'] will be playing with a chip on his shoulder this season. He is one of the best quarterbacks in the state. He is not mentioned much on the recruiting trail. Just watch what he goes out and does this season. They also have a lot of good receivers that can go get the football. [player_tooltip player_id='616692' first='Tristan' last='Jernigan'] is going to be holding things down for them on defense. He is a stud known for making big plays. They also have [player_tooltip player_id='139850' first='Shamaar' last='Darden'] who is going to help lead this great defense. We can expect some big things from Tupelo this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
