Wish there were more Jackson metro people on here ngl but a lot you have pretty good knowledge all around the state. Was wondering what are some you guys thoughts on this one and how do you think it could fair. Also @Davidwith you having the chance to see both go up against OS early would like to know your thoughts as well as maybe some takeaways.

Hey, thanks for the shout. I have seen both teams live, as well as tape on the Madison-Gulfport game and parts of others. The teams are very similar, but that’s not what you want to hear. The differences are: 

MC defense is superior, and most of their returners are on that side. Good size. Their offense, maybe because it was the first game, turned the ball over numerous times, and didn’t hit their stride until switching to the passing QB. Obviously, their special teams, especially in the field goal kicker, pretty much won the game with the last second FG and a long one earlier. Madison has the great outside WR, but NW has a whole slew of receivers that can catch. 
 

NW Rankin opened our game on fire offensively, mixing in various RBs and passing often. After the first quarter, leading 17-0, they seemed to pull it back some, allowing our defense to catch their breath. We opened the second half passing, and though they rushed the pass, they were vulnerable when the rush didn’t get there. Rankin may be a bit smaller on D. 
 

Since we managed the comeback on NW, but lost last second to MC, I’m probably going to say that Madison has the advantage overall. Home field might be worth a point or two, though I’m sure both sides will be packed. Let me call it a low scoring game where Madison Central wins on a late FG, 17-14. 
 

I think both are quality teams, but kind of doubt either wins their district unless they continue to gel and catch some breaks. But, I could be wrong.
