Sandwiched around gulfport's- three-year run- of dominance, in region 4 class- 6-a... are two district - crowns... that belong to- d'iberville.- the program's reward for- climbing all the way back, to - the - top of the standings... is a- date with history.- in less than 24 hours... the un- defeated warriors will be - kicking off their 20-20 playoff- run... with a repeat first- round match-up... from 20-16.

- 1-seed d'iberville is hosting - 4-seed petal...who doesn't- really- feel like a 4-seed... less than- a year removed from running the- table... in the ultra-- competitive region 3.

- that being said... the warriors- from four years ago didn't have- minnesota commit justin - walley... who was just named- mr. football, on thursday... fo- class 6-a, in the state of- mississippi.- perks of putting up the first - perfect regular season, in the- history of region 4... which al- of a sudden doesn't mean- very much... if the warriors- don't stay perfect.

- - "going 9-0 is all good, but if- you don't win a - playoff game, then to us it - really doesn't mean anything.

- most important thing to us- right now is winning in the - - - - first round of the playoffs."

- "history tells us that we can't- take it too - lightly.

That region up there - has done very well against us,- so we want to win some- - - - games.

We want our region to- represent and i think our regio- has gotten better this- year.

So i fully expect us to - compete and all the teams in ou- region to compete.

So - it's just a goal.

It's been a - goal to win a playoff game for- - - - these guys, and it still is."

- d'iberville and petal will kick- things off... at 7 p-m, - tomorrow.
