Underclassman Paris Trivillion Comes Up Big Against Greene County

Big Game from Alexander-Dedeaux As Pass Christian Fell 33-25
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.
Greene County had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Alexander-Dedeaux it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Alexander-Dedeaux saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

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 game was his fourth straight with eight or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Harmon will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Pass Christian 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?
