Xzavier Allen Turns in Season-Best Performance
Amite County was led to victory by Xzavier Allen, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Allen rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.

Kees Posts Huge Game in 55-8 Victory
Jordyn Kees was instrumental in extending Loyd Star's winning streak to seven on Friday. Kees did his part (and then some), rushing for 177 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 149 rushing yards.
If the past is any indication, Kees could be in store for another big game when he takes on Franklin County on Thursday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Kees saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 280 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry.
