The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. Florence will square off against Lawrence County at 7:00 PM on Friday. Florence aren't expected to win, but seeing as the odds didn't stop them last game, maybe the team has another upset up their sleeve.
Their game two weeks ago wasn't at all kind to Florence, but their most recent game may have softened the blow. Everything went their way against Lanier last week as they made off with a 51-26 victory. Junior Ian Vaughn and junior Reed Barlow were among the main playmakers for Florence as the former passed for 273 yards and 3 touchdowns and the latter caught 5passes for 166 yards and 2 touchdowns. That makes it 11 straight good games in a row from Vaughn.
Meanwhile, Lawrence County might have drawn first blood against Poplarville, but it was Poplarville who got the last laugh. Lawrence County suffered a grim 14-48 defeat to Poplarville. The contest was a 14-14 toss-up at halftime, but Lawrence County were outplayed the rest of the way.
Florence's win lifted them to 4-7 while Lawrence County's loss dropped them down to 7-4. We'll see if Florence success rolls on or if Lawrence County are able to steal their positive momentum.
