Preview: Holmes County Central vs. Vicksburg
Vicksburg is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 38.4 points per game. They will square off against Holmes County Central at 7 p.m. ET on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both teams posted some lofty points totals in their previous games, so things might heat up even more when they meet.
Vicksburg was able to grind out a solid victory over Callaway last week, winning 40-30.
Meanwhile, everything went Holmes County Central's way against Ridgeland as they made off with a 50-20 win. Justin Smith went supernova for the Jaguars as he picked up 95 yards on the ground on 12 carries and threw five passing touchdowns. Smith's performance made up for a slower matchup against Callaway two weeks ago.
Holmes County Central's defense was a presence as well, and it made life painful for the QB and embarrassed Ridgeland's offensive line for a total of six sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Jeramiah Williams and Montra Edwards, who each racked up two sacks.
The Gators found themselves the reluctant recipients of a vexing 46-13 punch to the gut against Holmes County Central when the two teams last met in November of last year. Maybe Vicksburg will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back on MaxPreps for all the details.
