Homecoming last night at Madison Central unexpectedly took me out. Driving from picture location to dance to after party to different after party kept me from posting last night's 7A recap, but better late than never!
The big one: No. 1 Brandon 31, Oak Grove 27
The game of the night lived up to its billing. Brandon played really well. Oak Grove had plenty of opportunities, but the Brandon win gives them the leg up in Region 3.
Other Region 3 Scores:
Northwest Rankin 24, Meridian 7
Petal 21, Pearl 17
Region 3 Standings
NWR, Brandon 1-0
Oak Grove, Petal 1-1
Meridian, Pearl 0-2
In Region 2, Tupelo easily handled Germantown 27-7. Tupelo-Starkville in two weeks was shaping up to be a big time matchup, but Clinton surprised Starkville last night on the Reservation. Madison-Germantown next week is probably an elimination game for Germantown.
Other Region 2 Scores:
Madison Central 27, Murrah 6 (non-district as Murrah is playing independent - Murrah's first loss of the season)
Clinton 31, Starkville 22
Region 2 Standings:
Tupelo 2-0
Clinton 1-0
Starkville 1-1
Madison 0-1
Germantown 0-2
Down on the Coast in Region 4, Ocean Springs moved to 2-0 with a 48-3 beatdown against Harrison Central
Other Region 4 Scores:
Gulfport 38, D'Iberville 19
Biloxi 34, St. Martin 14
Region 4 Standings
Ocean Springs, Gulfport 2-0
Biloxi, HC 1-1
St. Martin, D'iberville 0-2
In Region 1, Southaven dominated Lewisburg 38-14 to move the Patriots to a 1-6 start. Lewisburg did win the volleyball state championship on Thursday night.
Other Region 1 Scores:
Horn Lake 35, Hernando 0
Oxford 14, DeSoto Central 13 (Oxford scored late to win)
Region 1 Standings
Oxford 2-0
Southaven 1-1
Lewisburg 1-1
Horn Lake 1-1
DeSoto Central 1-1
Hernando 0-2
Region 1 is bad, y'all. Lewisburg and Southaven are a combined 3-12 and both would be in the playoff today. Oxford is 3-4 and would be the No. 1 seed. A 2-6 Southaven would host No. 4 Starkville in the first round.
