This is the second year in a row that the 4-3a district title came down to the battle between the tigers and the chargers.

The chargers held serve on its home turf to take home the title, but of course, it was noxubee county that ended up defeating the chargers in the north half final to advance to the state.

One of the players i spoke to called it a new rivalry between the two schools, let's go to macon.

Choctaw county all business coming onto the field, but it was senior night for the tigers and only their second home game of the season and they wanted to show out for the home fans.

The lafayette commodores entered tonight's action at 5-2 and on a 3 game winning streak, they traveled to new hope to take on the trojans and our rhea thornton was there.

Rhea?

Matt you're right... i'm here at new hope high school where the trojans have had a fairly tough season so far coming into tonight at 2 and 5... but they came into tonight hoping to snap that dores win streak.

Lafayette had the lead at half 28-7... but it was the trojans who strike first in the second half... got a little tricked by the fake hand-off... ty crowell keeps it and breaks a tackle... staying on his feet he takes it into the endzone to shorten the dores lead to 14... lafayette looks to answer... tyrus carmichael- williams hands it off to jayden reed who sneaks through the gap and books it down the sidelines but gets taken down just shy of the goal line.

Carmichael-williams hands it off again but this time to jagger sto-vall who just lowers his shoulder but finds himself in the endzone untouched.

Dores go up 35-14... and the dores just kept rolling as they went on to win 57-20... so the lafayette commodores were able to extend that win streak to four tonight and in a high scoring fashion might i add... lafayette will be back in columbus to take on the falcons next week and new hope will be here to take on the falcons next week and new hope will be here against west point.

South pontotoc took a trip down to caledonia to take on the confederates.

The cougars look to be the first on the board with a little misdirection to quay scott... but he gets tripped up against by cody stutsy.

Cougars look for another chance to make a play as eli allen steps out of the pocket and launches one but micah o'daniel snatches the pigskin out of the air... this pick was the spark the feds needed.

After a faked punt, the feds are just outside the goal line... they hand it off to darrius triplett... breaking several tackles he stays on his feet to give caledonia the lead.

Caledonia plays itawamba in fulton for its finale and south pontotoc is home against mooreville.

It was a battle of the cats in hamilton.... hamilton lions hosted the french camp academy panthers tonight... the panthers pounced early... on the kick-off to be exact.

Calvin johnson scooped up the ball... follows his blockers... and breaks through the crowd.

He takes it all the way to give french camp the lead 7-0.... but thats not all... on the panthers second drive... they hand it off to silas hodge... with a massive stiff arm.

Get off me!!

He has open field ahead of him to get another t-d for french camp.

French camp goes on to win big.

This sets up a huge game next week, french camp has to win and tcps has to lose for french camp to host a playoff game.

Tcps will host a first round playoff game with a win.

Now,
