Friday Night Fever: Week 10

Up northeast mississippi, welcome in to another edition of friday night fever.

So many crucial games tonight as the regular season came to a close for some teams and the playoffs began for others.

In our game of the week, not only was it a playoff game, it's a rivalry game.

The defending 5a mais champs heritage academy hosted starkville academy in second round action.

I was told it was the longest running private school rivalry in the state and they meet in the playoffs for the second year in a row...it was starkville academy who the patriots defeated in the state title game.

Bragging rights, revenge, tradition, all on the line in columbus tonight.

First i want to give a shout out to all the parents, fans, and people who have manned the grills at football games this season.

Look at these guys getting after it.

===== alright to the game, vols and patriots cooking up so playoff action, vols on the move, randall futral to cole owns gets starkville academy on the doorstep in the first quarter.

===== couple of plays later, hand off to cj jackson, massive scrum at the goal line, what's the call, what's the call, touchdown volunteers!

Starkville academy takes the early lead.

Extra point no good, 6 to zero.

===== fast forward to the second quarter, heritage academy going to work, mack howard dialing up the deep ball to trey naugher and a great catch by trey, gets the patriots inside the starkville academy 10 yard line.

====== very next play, howard hands off to braden davidson and davidson scampers virtually untouched into the endzone.

Extra point was good, heritage took the lead 7 to 6.

And that extra point proved to be decisive in this game.

With under 3 minutes to play, starkville academy was down 21 to 13 and scored...but heritage stuffed the 2 point conversion and the patriots hang on to advance to the third round of the playoffs.

They'll play adams county christian next week.

Huge game in west point, green wave needed a win to keep its drive for five straight state championships alive.

==== end of the half, west point up 26 to 13, center hill trying to cut the lead, and the mustangs execute the hook and ladder!

There goes tucker henley down the sideline, great hustle play keeps him out of the endzone.

==== no timeouts, center hill rushing to the line, preston newsome rolling out to his left and meet mr thomas.

Jaquarius thomas that is.

Sack lunch nom nom nom.

That ends the center hill bid for a touchdown.

==== second half now, west point trying to extend its advantage, swing pass to trey ryland an ryland takes xzavier paylor for a ride, ooo plot twist paylor strips ryland, center hill recovers.

The ole piggy back strip fumble...tale as old as time.

Center hill however can't capitalize.

==== on the next west point possesion, chris ivy on the quarterback keeper, busts into the end zone putting the green wave up 33 to 13 and west point comes up clutch winning 40 to 21.

Tupelo golden wave hype as they run out to face chargers ==== jake weir hands it to kyson brown, find his way through the gap but is brought down.

=== tupelo coach pep talk ==== jake weir hanbds it to his go to man kyson brown but nearly five oxford chargers push him back === cheerleaders ==== so they settle for the kick, tanner goggans makes the field goal.

I'm back in louisville tonight as the wildcats hosted caledonia in their first round of the 4a playoffs.

The confederates had a tough regular season, coming into tonight at 3 and 5... but it's playoffs so everything is wiped clean and anything can happen... and caledonia was giving the wildcats a run for their money... with the score just 13-7 at half.

And the feds are the first to strike in the second half... with a hand-off to darrius triplett he squeaks through a hole and is off to the races... taking it to the house triplett ties up the game at 13's... not long after, the wildcats find their groove.

Jace hudspeth completes a pass to louisville's triplett, dantavius... who loses his balance and gets taken down right outside the goal line... which set up louisville for this... hudspeth keeps it for himself and shows some grit to get into that endzone... even gets in a little tussel there... the wildcats regain the lead 19-13.

And they just kept rolling... as louisville goes on to win 26 to 13 against caledonia.

And louisville stays alive with the win tonight moving on to the second round of district play.

The wildcats will take on new albany next friday for round two of the 4a playoffs.

Reporting live from louisville high school for friday night fever i'm rhea thornton wtva 9 sports.

Water valley hit the road to take on choctaw county in the first round of the 3a playoffs.

Chargers qb tylan carter drops back to pass and finds chargers qb tylan carter drops back to pass and finds justin jenkins up the middle to put choctaw within 10 yards of the goal line... with seconds draining from the clock before halftime, choctaw looks to punch it in but carter gets stuffed by parker todd... what a hit by the full back.

The chargers end up settling for the field goal to go up 24-14 at the half... final score, chocataw county 31, water valley 14 the eupora eagles hosted st.

Joesph tonight for the first round of playoffs in 2a.

The bruins start off with possession... qb chris watson scans the field and throws it deep but a swarm of eagles are their to deflect the pass... eupora's turn... and they take no time getting on the board.

Ty murphy goes for the qb sneak and sees lots of green ahead of him... he takes it all the way to the back of the endzone.

Eagles go up 7-0.

On their next drive, eagles are just outside the goal line... murphy hands it off to jay stevenson who gets the corner to put eupora up by two touchdowns.

.

Final score, it was all eupora today, they win 47 to nothing.

How about a little thursday night thunder action?

First up, nanih waiya and okolona.

There are the okolona chieftains the proverbial david going up against the goliaths otherwise known as the nanih waiya warriors.

Okolona with the ball first, hand off to daevon johnson, nice stiff arm right there by off to daevon johnson, nice stiff arm right there by johnson, gains five, the drive stalled out after that.

Then the warriors went to work, here's jr coleman weaving his way through the okolona offense, gets ridden down inside the chieftain 20 yard line.

Few plays later, it's coleman again, muscles his way into the end zone to put the warriors up 7 early in the 1st quarter.

Nanih waiya goes on to win big, 41 to 20, the warriors finish the season undefeated and their opponent in the first round?

Well that just depends on this next game baldwyn and myrtle, bearcat fans pretty happy, they were up 36 to zero at the half.

====== now 43 to zero, jamaury marshall flips it drelin watson he finds the edge, breaks a tackle and ooo look out matt!

I saw my acls flashing before my eyes, but luckily my cat like reflexes saved me..

====== couple of plays later marshall hand off to kendrick easley and oooo i love me a little contact petey..a little remember the titans reference for ya.

And speaking of remember the titans the bearcats left no doubt in this one, they clinch the two seed and a home playoff game with the 57 to 8 win over the hawks.

As the two seed, baldwyn will host french camp next friday.

Myrtle, the loss seats them in the 4 seed, which means they have to make the long trip down to louisville to tangle with the warriors.
