It’s win or go home time as the post season is in full swing with all three county high schools preparing to make a deep playoff run.
The Simpson Academy Cougars kicked off postseason play last Friday with an emphatic 47-21 win over Heritage Academy to advance to the second round of the playoffs. The Cougars will have an opportunity to right a loss of the regular season when they match up against Leake Academy in the second round.
The Magee Trojans traveled to Seminary last Friday and won a hard-fought game against the Bulldogs 20-14 to become the 3A Region 6 District Champions. The Trojans also finished the season undefeated, going a perfect 9-0.
This was the 10th time in school history that this has been accomplished. The Trojans will host Franklin County in the first round of the playoffs.
The Mendenhall Tigers finished with a .500 record in district play and enter the playoffs as a third seed. The Tigers have shown flashes of greatness and will look to build on this as they enter the postseason. They will be on the road in the first round of the playoffs as face a familiar opponent in the Poplarville Hornets.
All teams have what it takes to make some noise this post season and will leave everything on the field this Friday night. Everyone is encouraged to support their team as the playoffs continue.
