deidre promo

- finally some football weather,- here on the news 25 - friday night showcase...- alongside grace boyles... i'm - jeff- haeger... and grace... you know- we always start with the- news 25 game of the week... but- believe it or not... we have a- game of the week times two, in- week 4.

- whenever d'iberville and biloxi- go head-to-head, it's - always a big deal.- not only are the schools a mere- 10 miles apart and long-time- rivals, this year both the- indians and warriors are- undefeated- going into tonight's game.- that's right, grace... this - - - - rivalry game was also dubbed th- mississippi high school game of- the month... courtesy of the- new orleans saints and sanderso- farms... so let's - start there.- both sides coming in with a - record of 2-0... crazy to think- we've already reached the start- of region 4 class 6-a action...- but that's what it is, this - season.

- offense hard to come by in the- first quarter... so the indians- are going for it on fourth- down... deljay bailey stuffed..- so he flips it back to k-k- kendrick... or he tries to... - but - caleb williams snags it like th- last mozz stick, on the app - tray... - and that's a turnover on- downs... and fumble - recovery... all in one fell - swoop.- ensuing drive for the - warriors... paging justin - walley... the minnesota commit- busting it to the outside...- and you're gonna see a lot of - him in these highlights...- first down d'iberville.

- now the indians haven't given u- a single point through nine - quarters of the season... but o- the first play of the second- quarter... walley... e- brake..- touchdown... six- points for the three-star - recruit... make it seven, on th- extra point.- but now biloxi is angry... and- you're not gonna like k-k - kendrick- when he's angry... that's one - broken tackle... two- broken tackles... three broken- tackles... overall, six - warriors needed to take him - down... flex on 'em my good - sir...- you deserve it.

- back to the justin walley - show... starring justin - walley... - who's primary position is - actually defensive back...- and showing why right there...- blowing up that play before it- ever got started.

- ball back to the warriors...- quarterback dwight williams - wearing number 8, on his- jersey... number 18, on his - helmet... for the - latrell "fred" dunbar... hooki up with tight end colton- de-shazo- for 13 yards, on the underneath- screen... on what was a first - and - 15.

- d'iberville converting all kind- of third and fourth - downs, in this game... and- here's one of them... - williams... to who- else... walley... on fourth - down... what a call, from coach- dolan.- and i'm not showing all these - plays just cause he's the - future division i guy... no...- he was that dominant... up, - down, left, - right, "a", "b", cheat code another big time catch, for - jaden - walley's younger brother.

- finally... that sets up another- senior... justice davis taking- it- right side... and that is the - - - - right side... touchdown - warriors... that makes it 14- - nothing home team... right- before halftime.- now grace... i'll be honest...- this is a shocking result...- d'iberville 34... biloxi 0... - final score.- - - - - the last time east central and- picayune got together... there- was a game... within a game.- east central's seth smith takin- on father-in-law dodd lee... bu- now the former is at pearl rive- community college... and- the latter is retired.- no family ties this time, - jeff....still an amazing- match-up- this time around though... with- both teams sitting at 3 and - 0... heading into the start of- region 4 class 5-a district - play.

- reigning 5-a south state- champion maroon tide won- last year's meeting by three- touchdowns... perhaps this- season the scoring will be more- balanced... let's find out.

- first quarter... picayune - quarterback isaac hickman - under center.... hickman looks- to his right... decides to air- it- out... receiver jashawn lee get- the ctach for a maroon tide - touchdown.

No score on the driv- - - - though.

Later in the first... - east central with the ball... - second- down.

Quarterback ????

Takes th- snap under center...- he quick makes the pass to- receiver cayden fant-- fant - dodging tide players, tacking o- some yards to the already first- down play.

The yune go on to- force thr hornets to punt - though.

- seconds left in the first...- tide at the moment without- runningback austin samples due- to a possible concussion-- he - does come back in the second- - - - quarter.

Hickman moves to his - right... throws to fullback - darnell smith who adds his name- to the list of tide rushers.- second quarter... second down - for the hornets - in their own territory--- that- is, until fant gets the handoff- in the back field.

He finds the- edge..

Turns up field and all - picayune players can do is watc- those fant's long legs carry- him to the endzone.

Hornets get- - - - the extra point and get on the- board first, 7 nothing.

- later in the second... hornets- within stinging distance- of another 7 points... receiver- hayden byrd morris closes - that gap.

- first and inches... ???

With th- quarterback sneak...- - - - touchdown!

Well, actually not - quite.

A personal foul- will march east central back 15- yards.- hornets attempt the field - goal.... the ref signals it's n- good.

- picayune rallies after halftime- scoring two touchdowns and- shutting out east central in th- second half, claiming their - 4th win this season 14 -7.- - st.

Stanislaus another one of - those 3-0 teams... hosting 0-3- poplarville... but that record- is deceiving... also a first- round - re-match, from last year's 4-a- playoffs.

- first quarter...- getting right into it,- poplarville's nathaniel - anderson hands it to gregory- swann but tackled just- before the end of the first - quarter - moving on to the second on the- otherside, swann won't fall - short this time.

Fights his way- into the endzone to put the - hornets first on the scoreboard- with a 6 yard run.

7-0 visitors- st.

Stanislaus now in - posession....gage peterson can'- find his target but decides to- take it himself right up the- middle.

But tackled by hornet - khalid moore but- despite the last name says no - more.

- peterson again, looking down th- field, runs out of the- pocket just in time for his - right hand man chandler - chapman to be an option.

In the- hands of chapman but just - barely.

First down for rock a - chaws making their way to the - endzone.- now once the reff moves out of- the way, peterson finds - ja'kobe cameron.

Quick swivvle- of the hips for cameron.

He - - - - tries to cut into the middle bu- is stopped short by the hornets- peterson and cameron yet again.- possibly a dynamic duo- here... cameron fights through- not one, not two, but a swarm - of hornets just before being- tackled out of bounds.- now peterson again, tries to- make it a one man show, but - tackled just short of putting - the rocks on the scoreboard.

No- touchdown here just yet, but i- have a feeling that peterson is- hungry tonight.

- and i think i'm right, first an- goal for the rocks here.... and- peterson said lets eat, right - through no problem.

The - rocks get on the board and afte- the field goal, tie up the game- in- the second quarter.

- - - - - west harrison hosting harrison- central... red rebels led by- their 27-man senior class... th- biggest on the entire gulf- coast... and it's turning out t- be a problem for everyone else.- first quarter... it's a bird...- it's a plane... it's a man name- jaidon- mc-clain... the senior rumbles- inside the west harrison 25 - yard-line... first down h-c.- now a lot of sophomore- quarterbacks on the coast this- season... and here's one of - them... as christian turner - keeps it on the option... for - the red rebels touchdown... 7-- nothing visitors.

- ensuing drive for the - hurricanes... keonte smith- shaking loose for a nice first- down run... but harrison- central would get the ball- back... and that's where we fin- isaiah atkins streaking down th- sideline for a huge - touchdown.- another blowout win for the red- rebels... who take this - one by the final of 42-0.

- - gulfport technically getting tw- results on the- same night... forfeiting its- original game against st.

- martin, due to covid-19 - concerns... but still on the- road- taking on brandon.- no score when we pick up the- action.

Tyler reed picking up - some tough yards on the ground.- moving the chains.- but later in the drive.

On a bi- third down.

Bulldogs get a- stop... blake smith with the- sack.

- gulfport has to punt.

And it- doesn't go as planned.

Punter - still gets it off.

But b-j- morrow scooping that up like a- shortstop.- - - - - stay with us, gulf coast.
