Scores and highlights from Thursday's action.
Friday night another edition of friday night fever.
A little different this week, only two games played tonight, all the other games played yesterday including our game of the week, shannon and itawamba.
You may know the final score, but do you know how it happened?
No?
Alrighty then.
Let's get after it!
Senior night at shannon, here are the senior cheerleaders, juiced up and ready to rock.
==== both teams traded punts to start the game, on shannon's second possession, oooo that's a bit high and picked off by zion ashby.
Shannon held however, score remained 0-0.
===== next shannon possession, check out this run by sentwali white, sticks the hand in the ground, keeps his feet and drives forward for a first down.
I dare you to find a better ten yard run than that.
White was recently named to the north mississippi all- star team.
===== later on the drive, the turnover bug bites the red raiders again, this time it's issac smith nabbing the interception for the indians, takes off down the sideline, pushed out of bounds in shannon territory.
====== this time the indians take advantage of the shannon turnover, tae chandler takes the hand-off, gets the edge and he's off to the races, shannon tries to push him out but he makes a dive for the pylon, touchdown itawamba.
In standard fashion for shannon, this game went right down to the wire.
Itawamba got a strip sack with a minute left to secure the victory.
They move to 2-0 in district with a 12 to 6 win.
Just ten minutes down the road, the undefeated nettleton tigers hosted the kossuth aggies and it was a shootout in the first half.
==== 2nd quarter, tigers up 14 to 13 and knocking on the door for more, davis oswalt handed off to roderick patterson and he took it in for six.
Tigers go up 21 to 13.
==== aggies answered, next drive, brock seago rocking the doug flutie 22, dropped in a perfect pass to clayton jacobs that got kossuth inside the nettleton 20.
==== few plays later, zamarius alexander much like the logo on the helmet, bulled his way over the goal line.
Aggies back within one with two minutes left in the half.
==== oswalt and the tigers weren't done.
Two minute drill time, oswalt fired a strike to zavian dilworth and this dude did not want to go down, listed at 5'8 135, playing like he's calvin johnson.
==== next play with time ticking away, oswalt went up top to dilworth and he coasted into the endzone with 20 seconds left in the half.
Looking pretty swaggy with the pink bandana for breast cancer awareness month.
10 points out of 10 on the st.
Jean swag-o-meter.
Nettleton rode that momentum into the second half, the defense pitched a second half shut out and the offense kept rolling to a 55 to 20 win.
Big game next week as the tigers face off against the amory panthers.
Onto mooreville where caledonia and its wing t offense was clicking, up 28 to nothing at the half.
==== after a failed onsides kick, caledonia quarterback zack gorum pitched it to darrius triplett, he picked up a first down and they were on the verge of making it 35 to zero.
==== mooreville held tough, 4th and one from the one, and the troopers stuffed it, but they had to take over from their own one yard line.
==== dawson phillips went to work, hit michael tharp on the slant, that's gave them some breathing room.
==== later in the drive, phillips got it done with his legs as well, weaved his way through the caledonia defense for a nice gain.
==== and the cherry on top of the 99 yard drive sundae, little out pass to alyk houle for the touchdown.
99 yards.
That ain't no joke, but caledonia didn't give the troopers life for long, that's the one score they surrendered and they added a few more to go back home with a 42 to 8 win.
Calhoun city hosted eupora after getting last week off.
==== and they got going early, quarterback jackson lee with the keeper, going all out to find the endzone, but went out at the two yard line.
==== no worries, a few plays later, he found a hole and found paydirt.
==== calhoun city's defense stymied eupora all night long and they grabbed their second district win of the season, 24 to 7.
Moving on to the battle of the pontotocs, the warriors hosted the cougars.
====== south pontotoc on the move in the 2nd half down 21 to 0, hand off to cody stutsy got the cougars within striking distance.
====== few plays later, stutsy tumbled over the goal line to put the cougars on the board.
====== on the ensuing drive, conner armstrong with a pass that was off the mark but lj jones said gimme that ball, that's my ball, and scampered into south pontotoc territory.
That set up this touchdown run by jemarkus whitfield.
28 to 7 warriors.
The cougars made a furious 4th quarter comeback, but the hole was too deep.
Pontotoc moved to 5 and 1 with a 36 to 29 win.

Rhea thornton was there and gives us the recap.
David took down goliath in west point on thursday night.... as lake cormorant battled for its first win in program history against the greenwaves.
Here's how it went down... west point had the lead at half 10-7... but midway through the third quarter, gator qb telvin amos launches the pigskin down to jordan martin for a td... giving the gators back its first quarter lead, 14-10.
After another touchdown by lake cormorant, west point digs down deep for its own duo of td's... this one coming from junior running back cameron young who dives to the pylon to regain the lead for the greenwaves 24- 21... but as i mentioned earlier, here comes david... with a hand-off to jeremy henderson he scoots through a huge hole and takes it to the house... nice little slide into the endzone solidifying the road win for the gators.
Lake cormorant gets the upset in west point 35-26.
Tag: this is the first home district loss for the greenwaves since 2014.
West point will be looking to bounce back next week in grenada.
