Grenada
Grenada has a lot to ride on this year. Charlie Fair Charlie Fair 6'1" | 200 lbs | QB Grenada | 2024 State MS is doing an amazing job at quarterback. I told a lot of people he will be an X factor for this team this year. He has been just that. They also have Macaleb Taylor handling his business at running back. Taylor is a very hard runner that knows how to get his yards. Taylor is going to be making some noise this week. They also have Zayion Cotton Zayion Cotton 6'4" | 210 lbs | ATH Grenada | 2026 State MS . A 2026 wide receiver who I think can be a big force on their offense. He is a guy I would be trying to get the ball to every time I need a big play in the air. Jay Williams is another player that is very explosive on this offense. Jayvon Herron is a guy to watch as well. Their offense is loaded.
Grenada has a nice defense as well. Aaron Travis Aaron Travis 6'4" | 250 lbs | DL Grenada | 2024 State MS is a defensive lineman that is committed to Southern Miss. He does a great job in their run defense. Jahmani Washington Jahmani Washington 6'2" | 195 lbs | LB Grenada | 2025 State MS and Sema’j Avery Sema’j Avery 6'2" | 190 lbs | ATH Grenada | 2025 State MS are two linebackers on this team that knows how to lead on that side of the ball. Jay Williams is a player that has six interceptions this season. He does not mind taking those interceptions back to the house he is a beast.
South Panola
South Panola is on a roll this season. They are doing some great things out there on the field. They are undefeated with their only loss coming to Oxford. Michael Johnson Michael Johnson 6'3" | 200 lbs | ATH South Panola | 2024 State MS is going to be their man on offense. He is a guy they look to for making big plays for them on offense.
South Panola is known to play with a very stout defense. They love to fly to the football. I’m anxious to see how they plan to attack Grenada’s offense. I can see them looking to apply a lot of pressure. If Juju Pope is playing, he will be holding down the defense for them. We may even see Johnson playing both ways now that it is playoff time.
