The Magee Trojans will venture away from home to challenge the Quitman Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Magee came into this matchup off a tough 29-point loss back in October. This time they kept things ultra-competitive, but unfortunately the final result was the same. They fell just short of Seminary by a score of 30-27 on Thursday. The Trojans have been going strong on the season, but this is now their second defeat in a row.
Travon Magee put forth a good effort for the losing side as he threw for 247 yards and a pair of TDs, and also punched in one score on the ground.
Meanwhile, Quitman had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 31 points) and they went ahead and made it four on Friday. They took their game with ease, bagging a 42-8 victory over the Saints. Considering the Panthers have won four matchups by more than 33 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Quitman had a senior duo take command as Bryce Gavin threw for 144 yards and three touchdowns and Shunzarious Dear picked up 63 receiving yards and three TDs. Gavin is becoming a predictor of the Panthers' success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 3-4 when he doesn't).
One reason for the win was Quitman's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for five sacks. Brytyavis Dear was especially locked on to St. Andrew's Episcopal's QB and sacked him twice.
Quitman's record is now 6-4. As for Magee, their loss dropped their record down to 6-3.
