The Calhoun Academy Cougars will square off against the Tunica Academy Blue Devils at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Friday, Calhoun Academy didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Columbus Christian Academy, but they still walked away with a 46-40 win.
Calhoun Academy's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Layton Logan led the charge by rushing for 246 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.7 yards per carry. With that strong performance, Logan is now averaging an impressive 159 rushing yards per game. Another passer making a difference was Carsen Stegall, who rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Calhoun Academy was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 579 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
Meanwhile, Tunica Academy took care of business in their home opener two weeks ago (and then some). They blew past North Sunflower Academy, posting a 46-0 victory at home.
Calhoun Academy was dealt a bruising 48-16 loss at the hands of Tunica Academy when the teams last played back in September of 2022. Can Calhoun Academy avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
