Tonight West Point takes on easily its biggest rival in the Starkville High School Yellowjackets. This has always been a heated and intense rivalry, however West Point has been on the losing end quite often in the rivalry with Starkville winning 15 of the last 16. West Point's last victory came two years ago in 20-13 home win. Starkville took last year's game 13-9 despite being heavily outgained in yardage by West Point, unfortunately turnovers doomed the Green Wave. This is always an exciting game with an overflow crowd always on hand. Hopefully West Point can pull out the victory tonight against a not as good as usual Starkville team.
This area has been a hot spot for big time high school football which makes rivalries in these parts more heated. There have been a mass of state titles won in this area. West Point has 5 state titles, Starkville has 4, Louisville has 5 and Amory has 3 as well as Tupelo with 2. Although none of these teams play Amory, Starkville, Louisville and West Point all play each other in pretty intense rivalry games. It makes for some interesting football games.
And by the way, Ole Miss takes on a pretty good Missouri team tomorrow at 11 a.m. Hotty Toddy!
