Inching Closer

West Point survived the 2nd round of the class 4A playoffs this past Friday as they defeated the Oxford Chargers 27-23 in an extremely close ballgame. West Point's top player who was suspended for the first half of this game due to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the first round came in in the second half and racked up around 240 yards rushing/receiving to outgain the entire Oxford offense for the game. The kid is a game changer and should be the key to West Point winning in the third round.

Next up for West Point? the Lafayette County Commodores who are currently 10-2 coming off a second round win against a good Kosciusko team. Luckily this game will be played in West Point where West Point is hard to beat. If West Point can win this one they will advance to play in the class 4A North State Championship against the winner of Yazoo City/Clarksdale for a right to play in the State Championship at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson. I just love High School Football! Go Green Wave!
