Who's up and who's down

Upcoming Drama

The big showdown in the power rankings this week is between Warren Central (12th in the power rankings) and Madison Central (8th). The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games. Madison Central and Warren Central both have plenty of landslide victories under their belts (Madison Central with three and Warren Central with three), but only one can come away triumphant this week. We'll find out who that is soon.

This Week's Big Showdown

One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between Starkville (3rd in the power rankings) and Northwest Rankin (7th). Starkville had all the answers against Northwest Rankin, winning 38 - 14. Junior Malik Brown deserves a lot of the credit as he tossed the ball for 301 yards and three TDs.

Big Showdown

It was a battle of top-notch squads when South Panola (18th in the state) took on Oxford (26th) last week. South Panola was able to grind out a solid victory over Oxford, winning 14 - 0. As a result, South Panola rose three spots in the power rankings.

No Stoppin 'Em

The match between Greene County and Poplarville last week put some strain on the scoreboard; in fact, with a total of 90 final points, it was the highest scoring contest in the power rankings for the week. Poplarville scooted by Greene County with a score of 54 - 36. Nevertheless, Poplarville did not have enough punch to impress the power rankings algorithm and slipped two spots in the rankings.
