Players To Watch In Tupelo vs. Brandon

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We all know that these two programs with a lot of talent. They played against each other in the 2024 7A state title football game. Tupelo won this game. Brandon wants their revenge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='403635' first='Sladen' last='Shack'] </strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shack is going to have to be the x factor in this game for Brandon. Tupelo has a really good defense that is going to try to lock in on Brandon's running game. Shack is going to have to be sure to manage things for his guys. This will not be hard for him. He was a full-time starter last year as a sophomore. He has the experience under his belt. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1178285' first='Travion' last='Washington'] </strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Washington is going to have a lot on his hands with Tupelo's running game. That will not be hard for him. He is a player that loves contact and he loves to play defense. Washington is also known to be a guy who can get out there and cover. He was making plays all over the field in their jamboree. You can expect him to do the same this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='457972' first='Kylan' last='Bobo']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We think that Bobo is going to be an x factor for Tupelo this week. We all know that [player_tooltip player_id='749056' first='Jaeden' last='Hill'] can tote the rock, but the Bulldogs are going to be ready for that. Bobo is a little more versatile in the backfield. Look for the Tupelo coaches to be out there trying to switch some things up for his team. They are going to be counting on him this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='467831' first='Devontray' last='Brewer'] </strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brewer is a 2027 linebacker who we have been talking about a lot this year. He is going to have his hands full with [player_tooltip player_id='403633' first='Tyson' last='Robinson']. We think that he is going to be able to handle it. We said that Shack is going to have to step up for Brandon. If that happens, Brewer is going to have to step up as a leader and player. If Tupelo gets slow on defense, he is going to be one of the guys called on to bring them back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
