Natchez High at South Jones

LAUREL — The Natchez High School Bulldogs still have a chance to make the MHSAA Class 5A Playoffs. All they have to do is defeat the South Jones High School Braves a must-win Region 3-5A match-up for both teams to secure that berth.

Forest, on the other hand, is going in the opposite direction heading into this first-round match-up. The Bearcats are on a three-game losing streak after a tough 48-46 loss at home to Kemper County to end up with the No. 3 seed out of Region 5-3A.

Vidalia at Madison Parish

TALLULAH, La. — The Vidalia High School Vikings will look to regroup after last week’s home loss to Ferriday and finally get in the win column when they hit the road to take on the Madison Parish High School Jaguars Friday night in an LHSAA District 2-2A game.

Montgomery is 2-2 overall and 1-1 in district play after a 48-6 beatdown at the hands of now-No. 9 Logansport High School on the road last Friday night.

Jefferson County at Morton

MORTON — Back-to-back losses to Hazlehurst High School and Franklin County High School at the end the regular season put the Jefferson County High School Tigers at the No. 3 seed out of Region 7-3A.

Which means they will be on the road Friday night when they face the Region 5-3A No. 2 seed Morton High School Panthers in the first round of the 2020 MHSAA Class 3A South State Playoffs.

Jefferson County enters the playoffs with a 4-4 overall record and finished with a 2-2 mark in 7-3A. The Tigers are coming off a 22-12 loss at Franklin County in which they turned the ball over three times and their defense gave up over 200 rushing yards.

Wilkinson County at Kemper County

DEKALB — Nearly two weeks after their last regular-season game, the Wilkinson County High School Wildcats will be on the road Friday night when they take on the Kemper County High School Wildcats in the first round of the MHSAA Class 3A South State Playoffs.

Playing just a schedule comprised of its Region 7-3A opponents, Wilkinson County went 1-3 overall and in region play after a 32-6 win over Port Gibson High School back on Saturday, Oct. 24 after that game was postponed the prior Friday night due to inclement weather. That win earned these Wildcats the region’s No. 4 seed.

Kemper County won four of its last five games to enter the playoffs with a 7-2 overall record. Those Wildcats won a share of the Region 5-3A championship with Morton High School, but a 28-27 win earned them the region’s No. 1 seed.

Cedar Creek at Sicily Island

SICILY ISLAND — The Sicily Island High School Tigers will return to the field for the first time in two weeks on Friday night when they host the Cedar Creek School Cougars Friday night in an LHSAA District 2-1A game.

Sicily Island was originally scheduled to host Delhi High School last Friday, then that game was supposed to have been rescheduled to last Thursday night due to a lack of officials.

But that game ended up being canceled after a player on Delhi’s team tested positive for COVID-19. However, the Tigers was not given a forfeit win, leaving them at 0-4 overall and 0-3 in district play.

After a 3-0 start to the season, Cedar Creek is on a two-game losing skid after a 7-6 loss at St. Frederick High School last Friday night to drop to 3-2 overall and 2-2 in district play.
