You might be right cause Columbia can stop Poplarville RB down and 1 man can't win the game every time and Columbia is a much lot better defensive team than McComb are.

Louisville, Kosciusko rematch this time will come down to the little small details, disciplined, coaching adjustments.

Ty Keys from Poplarville is gonna get his regardless! Ion think its a defense in the state that can slow him down but eventually he will wear down! Columbia’s offense will be too much for their defense like the first game! Louisville/KO will be one or the best games to see next Friday! I got the Wildcats coming out on top

I agree with you on Ty Keys he going to get his numbers their defense is their weaker link, Louisville, Kosciusko will be one of the best games in the state next Friday for sure, Columbia probably will blow Poplarville out and wear them down like they did last time

Louisville, Kosciusko will be a very close game once again it might come down to who have the ball last or defense stop last sec of the game like the 1st match up

I do think Columbia will win, however, a Coach Beech late round playoff team is difficult to put out.  Poplarville may get punched even harder in round 2 with Columbia, but they will fight harder than they did in the regular season.  I think you’ll see a Poplarville team that will have addressed those defensive deficiencies from the first game.  I also don’t think Coach Beech will leave any stone unturned.  He may not win, but his process is one that can be 200% trusted.

I do think it will be a much closer game but Columbia will win! Too much talent on the offensive side of the football for Poplarville’s defense! Ty Keys is gonna get his no matter what but i think Poplarville will depend on him too much and is gonna wear em out late in the game

The issue in the first game they had was basically Poplarville couldn't get any stops and that caused separation.  Poplarville can score, but they can also stall out some on offensive drives.  Their center also has a tendency of snapping the ball too low, so it throws off the timing of the play.  Poplarville's offense works best when it's in rhythm.  If Poplarville wants to give themselves a chance in this one, they've got to get some stops and force Columbia to either punt a couple of times or get them to turn it over on downs.  I don't think Poplarville will do well if this game turns into a track meet.

sound like poplarville need the ball first and eat up 8 minutes of the quarter and score

I will say this, Poplarville knows how to get it done in the playoffs. This one will be a lot closer

With Poplarville's offense if it's clicking on all 8, they can score very quickly.  All that 1940's retro offense they run makes it very difficult to track the ball.  It can almost be like a blur.
