Pass Christian Comes Up Short Despite Huge Game from Underclassman Paris Trivillion
It was an underclassman who stole the show on Friday as Paris Trivillion came into the match on a mission.

The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 57 yards.

Alexander-Dedeaux Posts Huge Game in 33-25 Loss
Another Pass Christian player making an appearance on this list is Jacquez Alexander-Dedeaux. He rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made ten total tackles and defended a pass.
Alexander-Dedeaux must have Greene County's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Alexander-Dedeaux saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 30.18
Ayden Harmon Turns in Another Game with at Least Eight Total Tackles
Poplarville was led to victory by Ayden Harmon, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Harmon wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks, making eight total tackles (5.0 for loss), and defending a pass. The contest was his fourth straight with eight or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Harmon and Poplarville will be playing at home against Pass Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Harmon took on the Pirates, he picked up a sack and made eight total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
