The DeSoto Central Jaguars will head out to take on Lake Cormorant at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Last Thursday, DeSoto Central lost to Houston at home by a 38-21 margin. While losing is never fun, the Jaguars can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 52nd in Mississippi, while the Mustangs are ranked third in Tennessee).
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Lenden Fairley, who rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns. DeSoto Central also got a significant boost from Eric Perry, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 115 yards.
Meanwhile, Lake Cormorant had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They blew past Lewisburg 47-10 on the road on Friday. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Lake Cormorant had established a 24 point advantage.
DeSoto Central came up short against Lake Cormorant in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, falling 21-10. Can DeSoto Central avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
