Sharkey Issaquena Academy may have come out ahead in their last game, but they shouldn't get too cocky given who is up next. Tallulah Academy and Sharkey Issaquena Academy go head to head on Friday at 7:00 PM in their first playoff match of the year. After the teams both made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.
Nine stomps in 11 total games is nothing to scoff at, and that exactly where Tallulah Academy stand after their most recent contest last Friday. Everything came up roses for them against Franklin Academy as the team secured a 48-8 victory. No one put up better numbers for Tallulah Academy than senior Joshua Collins, who brought his A game into the match. He rushed for 175 yards and 3 touchdowns on 8 carries. Senior Joshua Collins has made a name for himself in their last four games, proving himself to be a reliable offensive weapon.
Meanwhile, Sharkey Issaquena Academy brought a two-game winning streak into their matchup against North Sunflower Academy last week; they left with a three-game streak. Sharkey Issaquena Academy put the hurt on North Sunflower Academy with a sharp 44-20 win. The rankings were on Sharkey Issaquena Academy side, but they didn't forecast quite such a lopsided result.
Their wins bumped Tallulah Academy to 11-0 and Sharkey Issaquena Academy to 7-3. Given their high-scoring efforts against their previous opponents, it will be interesting to see how far up these teams can run up the score.
