The Green Wave is battle tested and continues to do things the old West Point way with the ground and pound. Holmes County, although maybe not as tested, is unblemished on the year. The lone upset of round 1 was Lafayette over Canton in a defensive struggle which will lead to another juicy matchup between the Dores and Clarksdale. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Week</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lafayette (7-4) @ Clarksdale (8-3)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>West Point (8-3) @ Holmes County Central (12-0)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>South Half</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 3-1 Florence 36 Region 4-4 Wayne County 0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 4-2 Gautier 50 Region 3-3 Natchez 18</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 4-1 Laurel 43 Region 3-4 Provine 6</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 3-2 Brookhaven 55 Region 4-3 Vancleave 7</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Favorites held serve in 5A-South during round 1 and there really was not a game that was ever in doubt. Most of the buzz in 5A has been in the north thru the season but the offenses of the 4 teams remaining all appear to be clicking down the stretch, which could lead to track meet type scores for round 2. Expect plenty of offense in the south from here on out!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Week</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gautier (7-4) @ Florence (8-4)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brookhaven (7-4) @ Laurel (6-6)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
