Madison Central
Madison Central has a good defense. Last week, I put my foot in my mouth by saying they only have a decent defense. I was wrong.
Ryan McCall Ryan McCall 5'11" | 215 lbs | LB Madison Central | 2024 State MS is the leader of the defense that gets their guys going on that side of the ball. If they plan to win this game, their defense is going to have to step up big for them. I think that McCall is going to have to be relentless this game. We will see him go all out to make sure that his team gives it their all. They should have him spying Trey Petty Trey Petty 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB Starkville | 2024 State MS for this game. McCall has the skills to keep the eye on Petty that they need him to.
Jamison Kelly Jamison Kelly 6'0" | 170 lbs | DB Madison Central | 2026 State MS is going to have his hands full this week. We all know that Starkville loves to throw the football. He is going to have to be ready to defend the pass a lot this week.
Starkville
Chris Jones is going to try to make this game very quick. He does not want to give Madison Central any room to breathe. That will not be an easy task. At this point of the year, he is going to ride behind his running game. Jay Stevenson Jay Stevenson 6'1" | 210 lbs | RB Starkville | 2024 State MS is a guy that he loves to get the ball to out of the backfield. Courtland Cooper is another running back on their team that can tote the rock. Trey Petty Trey Petty 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB Starkville | 2024 State MS is another guy that runs the ball a lot for them from his quarterback position.
Braylon Burnside Braylon Burnside 6'1" | 180 lbs | ATH Starkville | 2024 State MS is a guy that can hurt Madison Central when he is on offense. However, they have so many weapons that that I do not think it is wise to double team him. Take what you get. Burnside is going to get his. Do not allow other players to hurt you in their receiver group by paying too much attention to Burnside. Again, he is going to get his no matter if he is double teamed or not.
Parker Simpson, Charles Woodard Charles Woodard 6'2" | 240 lbs | DL Starkville | 2024 MS , Shiloh Johnson and Jermar McCarter Jermar McCarter 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Starkville | 2024 State MS will be ready to handle their business on defense. All of these guys are some studs who are familiar with this Madison Central team.
Braylon Burnside Braylon Burnside 6'1" | 180 lbs | ATH Starkville | 2024 State MS is at the point where he is playing both ways a lot. So you better believer you will see him out there doing his thing all night. It will not be an every now and again deal.
