Noxubee County won the last time they faced Shannon and things went their way on Friday too. The Tigers blew past the Red Raiders 28-6. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Tigers' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Mississippi football rankings (they are ranked 18th, while the Red Raiders are ranked 61st).
One reason for the win was Noxubee County's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Donvon Conner, BJ Payton, and Jheremy Payton, who each picked up one sack apiece. Noxubee County got some further help from Conner: he picked up a sack and made 17 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
