A Season-Best Effort from Thomas Lambert Leads Poplarville over Moss Point
On Friday, Poplarville got the W thanks in part to Thomas Lambert playing the best football he has all season. Lambert rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the year, Lambert has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 46.3 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.17 rushing yards per game.

Pass Christian Comes Up Short Despite Huge Game from Underclassman Paris Trivillion
Underclassman Paris Trivillion came into Friday's match looking to prove himself and that's exactly what he did. Nobody could stop he on Friday as he rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also threw for 261 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
This year, Trivillion has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 226.2 passing yards per game.

Pass Christian Gets a Boost from Alexander-Dedeaux in 33-25 Defeat
Another Pass Christian player making an appearance on this list is Jacquez Alexander-Dedeaux. He rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made ten total tackles and defended a pass.
Unfortunately for Greene County, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Alexander-Dedeaux. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Alexander-Dedeaux saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

Another Game with at Least Eight Total Tackles from Ayden Harmon
On Friday, Poplarville got the W thanks in part to Ayden Harmon playing the best football he has all season. Harmon wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks, making eight total tackles (5.0 for loss), and defending a pass. The game was his fourth straight with eight or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Harmon and Poplarville will be playing at home against Pass Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Harmon took on the Pirates, he picked up a sack and made eight total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
