I dont think that game had anything to do with karma or calls or anything making somebody more favorable than the other school. The rain limited everybody to running and Calhoun City was just better in the trenches on the right plays.

Looks like it will be a wet contest as the game progresses.

Probably thanks to the Weir powerhouse days.

This is the week all the student athletes work hard to get to. Unfortunately only two teams can make it. Congratulations to Calhoun City and Simmons-Hollandale for making it this far. This is typically a north half matchup and likely have been some matchups in the past in the playoffs from when these two schools were both 2A. Both teams have had their fare share of challenges. Calhoun city played a very tough non-district schedule to where their only loss came from a close game with a very talented 4A Senatobia team while beating some very good 3A & 4A schools as well. Simmons more competitive contests came during the last few weeks of the playoffs. If there is one thing the last few 1A championships have shown us is not to count anybody out just yet and the game is played until the last seconds tick off the clock in the 4th quarter. Who will win? The Calhoun City Wildcats taking a gold ball back to the Boneyard or “Big Blue” Simmons Blue Devils returning a gold ball to Hollandale in the Delta?

I just been hearing a lot about the Simmons-Taylorsville game and how Taylorsville was robbed the game. I do know from watching it though that Taylorsville had several red zone and goal line attempt that was stopped by Simmons defense. Rather it was called horrible or not, any time teams are stopping you from scoring on the goal line several time likely mean somebody’s team is not being credited for having a good defense like they do.

Idk much about the narrative from the Simmons-Taylorsville game but it seems like a defensive slobber knocker. Taylorsville lone TD came from a blocked punt deep in Simmons territory and their safety came from a defensive stop after 1 of many defensive stops Simmons had with Taylorsville on the goal line knocking for a TD..

According to this link, the South teams are the designated home teams. https://www.misshsaa.com/2025/11/23/starkville-mississippi-state-on-tap-to-host-2025-football-state-championships/

I am not sure.

It’s a good look when you see multiple teams from the same county making it that far.

Finally have gotten to some must see games. Calhoun City still looking like the favorites but will have to travel to Biggersville, who can be well coached at times. Will Biggersville come up with the perfect scheme to dethrone and compete with Calhoun City at home? In the south are two teams who have been familiar with each other at the 1A level. Taylorsville is taking the drive to the Delta to face Simmons in Hollandale. Good defenses and two offenses that can be explosive. Who is leaving Hollandale as the South State Champs.
