MONDAY SHOWCASE

To stay healthy.

Cindy hyde-smith is not standing up for mississippi.

- at this point... just pick a- day... any day... and there's - bound to- be high school football... here- on the news 25 friday night - showcase... on a monday... just- three weeks after doing it on - a thursday... whatever... thank- 20-20... alongside grace- boyles... i'm jeff haeger.- mother nature seems to control- our destiny a lot on- this show... just like the two- teams featured in the news 25 - game of the week... are still i- control of their own- destiny.- yeah, grace... not quite the- match-up we had in mind, for- harrison central- d'iberville..- after the red - rebels took their first loss of- the season at hancock, last - week... but the fact remains...- the winner of this one... has a- clear path to the region 4 clas- 6-a championship.

- red rebels finally have the - power back on, five days after- hurricane zeta... they win the- district with a win, tonight...- and a win friday, at ocean- springs... warriors win the - district with a win, tonight...- and that's it.- we pick it up third quarter...- tied at 13-all, coming out of - the half... red rebels get the- ball first... and check out the- scramble, from christian- turner... the sophomore - quarterback with a huge gain, - right at the sticks... but that- drive would eventually stall- out.- that brings up a harrison - central punt... but the punt- would never take flight... eric- hopkins with the bobble... gets- stuffed up the middle... so the- warriors are in business.

- but all they can do with it...- is give it right back...- normally- sure-handed dwight williams...- senior quarterback and- team captain... has the ball- punched out by hopkins... makin- up for that bobble, in a big- way... ricky willis with the- recovery, for h-c.- not much doing for the red- rebels, on the ensuing drive...- so back to punt again... and- guess who... minnesota commit - justin- walley blocks it... caleb - williams picks it up... so the- warriors are back in business.- and this time... they get it- done, on offense... williams on- the - play action... hooking up with- junior tight end colton de- - shazo... first down visitors.

- seems like there's only one - fitting way, for this drive to- end... walley... pitch left...- touchdown... i don't wanna- spoil anything... but that may- or may not be the only points,- of- the second half... 20-13- warriors lead... late in the- third.- moving onto the fourth- quarter... red rebels - desperately trying to get - something going... jaidon - mc-clain... moving the pile at- will... but wait a second...- manny - duplessis got his hand in the - cookie jar... and came away wit- all the cookies... returns it - deep into h-c territory... and- just look at d'iberville's- reaction... emotions really - starting to come out... knowing- what's about to happen.

- now that would almost seal the- deal... but the warriors would- turn it over on downs... so the- need another stop... and there- it is... amarion fells... the - senior... with the easiest- interception of his life... - second half shutout, for the- d'iberville defense... and- that's your game.

- for the first time since- 20-16... the warriors are your- region 4- class 6-a champions... and for- the first time since 20-16... - someone has won the district...- over than gulfport.

- 20-13 final... and an emotional- head coach larry dolan... - after the game.

- - 4.- elsewhere in region 4... st.- martin trying to keep its - playoff - hopes alive against west- harrison... 2-and-3 versus 1- - and-4 respectively.

- we pick it up in the third- quarter, st.

Martin already - up by 7 touchdowns.

- 1.

Kicker braydon banashak with- the opening kickoff of the- half... runningback anthony - jones back for the- return... jones weaves through - couple yellow jacket- defenders... and he turns on th- jets... dodging one last- defender within the ten...- touchdown!

Hurricanes get - their first game of the night.- st.

Martin still with the lead- 35 - 7.

Later in the third...- quarterback makia herbert - - - - keeps it... fakes out one, two,- three, four defenders and - runs it to the house.

Yellolw - jackets up 42 - 7.- 3.

Still third quarter... - quarterback camerian- hallahan's pass is picked off b- linebacker javonn mccaleb...- who has an open lane to the - endzone and takes full- advantage of it.

Hurricanes add- 7 to the board.

Yellow jackets- still on top, 42 - 14.- 4.

Time ticking down in the - third... st.

Martin back in - hurricane territory...- runningback noreel white- takes the handoff and strolls - through the hurricane's - defense for yet another t-d.- yellow jackets roll the - hurricanes for a final score of- 63-14.- - with d'iberivlle... harrison- central... and ocean springs...- all having locked up playoff- spots in region 4 class - 6-a... the fight for the final- spot... is a conversation - that starts with biloxi.- the indians have head-to-head - wins over the right teams... an- had the chance to get back to - .500... with a win tonight.

- definitely a big spot... for bi- red...- hosting the hancock hawks...- - - - fresh off their huge upset win- over harrison central, last - week... could they do it again,- tonight.- not so much... first quarter...- - regular season finale for - resurrection catholic... who- - - - needs a win over salem- tonight... and a mount olive- loss to - lumberton next week... to crack- the post-season.- second quarter, eagles up 14 -- zip.- 1.

Wioldcats quarterback tyson- rushing habnds off to - runningback allax moss... ball- comes loose... linebacker jack- duncan comes out of the scrum - with the it and runs it all the- way to the house for the scoop- and score.

Eagles extend- their lead 21 - nothing.- 2.

On the ensuing kickoff...- kicker will clemens kicks to th- visitor sideline... and a - wildcat makes contact with the- ball- before the eagles hop on it and- get the turnover.

- 3.

Capitalizing off of kick - return recovery...- quarterback riley martthews run- downfield, tripped up by a- salem player.... loses the ball- and it rolls into the endzone.- bobcats players try to recover- it, however-- despite all the - chaos--receiver joe scarborough- comes with the- recovery and the eagles - touchdown.

Resurrection - catholic up 28 - zero with more- than five minutes still left in- the - half.

- resurrection comes out with the- win, although the - eagles did eventually allow - salem to get on the - board.

The final score: 42 - 6.- - and in case your power was stil- out, on friday... gautier one o- just two coast teams sticking t- its original schedule...- playing host to hattiesburg.- mid-way through the first - quarter, of a scoreless - game... hattiesburg getting - familiar with the gautier - defense... open the gate... - kaleb beavers blowing that play- up, in- the backfield... he says no sir- very next play... whatchu - talkin' bout jordan willis... - throws- the tunnel screen right to mica- burch... about as tall as a - tree, too... nothing better tha- a defensive lineman - interception... as the junior - sets up gautier... inside - hattiesburg's 40-yard line.

- ensuing drive... ole miss - baseball commit kaden irving- using that dual-sport - athleticism, to roll out to his- left... and flicks it on to - zavionne payne... who gets out- of bounds...- for the gautier first down.

- now check out this wacky- formation... looks like one of- those fast food lines after - hurricane zeta... or is it the- wildcat... either way... kolby- packnett takes the direct - snap... - and the senior crosses the plan- before he fumbles... for- the gautier touchdown... very - close play... but looks like it- was the right call... 7-nothing- gators.

- second quarter now... and in- honor of hurricane zeta...- let's see if i can recite the - entire greek alphabet from- memory... - before jaquez andrews... has hi- forward momentum- stopped... ad-lib... and just - look at him carry the pile... - play- - - - finally blown dead, at the half- yard line... may as well have - just- given him the touchdown.- but no matter... willis gonna - cap it off himself... you see - drew- brees do this a lot... just pok- the nose of the ball over the - - - - plane... and that's a tiger - touchdown... extra point no - good... 7-6 gators.

- and the second quarter really - belonged, to hattiesburg... - really nice piece of running- here, by ellis brown... bouncin- that- one towards the visitors- sideline... and all the way dow- inside the 15... for a big time- first down.

- andrews puts the finishing- touches on that drive... half - man...- half bulldozer... touchown- hattiesburg... this time, the - point after is good... makes it- 13-7 tigers... heading into the- half.

- and not a whole lot of change,- after the break... as the tiger- take this one, on a crazy - week... winning, 19-13.

- - - - - - the new orleans saints are no - strangers to winning streaks, - around this time of year... but- their current run of four - straight wins... seems to follo- a very particular format.
