TYLERTOWN — Franklin County High School hit the road to play a familiar foe in Tylertown High School Friday night.

And Tylertown played about like the Bulldogs are used to seeing the Chiefs play — tough. Too tough for Franklin County, as the Bulldogs were shut out 47-0.

The Chiefs, which moved up to MHSAA Class 4A after competing with Franklin County in Region 7-3A for several years, totaled 318 yards rushing. Franklin County, by contrast, only managed 144 yards on the ground.

Tylertown quarterback Tye’Ovne Holmes scored first for the Chiefs on a 1-yard carry in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Holmes scored again from 38 yards out with 7:44 left.

Holmes scored his third and final touchdown on a 6-yard run with 2:38 to go, giving Tylertown a 21-0 lead at the half.

In the third quarter, Holmes completed a 40-yard touchdown pass to Dealbert Pitman with 10:27 left. The Chiefs added two more touchdowns in the third quarter and one in the fourth quarter.

Franklin County (2-1) will have its home opener next Friday against Clarksdale.

Port Gibson 24, Jefferson County 6

FAYETTE — Port Gibson junior quarterback Silento Sayles had a touchdown run in the second quarter and a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter as the Blue Waves defeated the rival Jefferson County Tigers Friday night.

Sayles had a 32-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter and threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Tommy McCaplin late in the ball game. Adarius Barnes intercepted a pass and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown. Johnny Hulbert was successful on all three two-point conversion runs.

Jefferson County’s offense, on the other hand, could not get going in the first half and finally scored with 6:58 to go in the third quarter on a 1-yard run by Monroe Barnes. But the two-point conversion run was no good.

Jefferson County (1-2) hosts East Marion next Friday at 7:30 p.m.
