How the Postseason Went for Local Teams
Nine teams from the three counties played in the opening weekend of the postseason. Tishomingo County, Alcorn Central, Belmont, Biggersville, and Thrasher were all eliminated on the road on Nov. 6. The four teams that advanced gave local fans three home playoff games on the same night in round two.
With Friday’s results, the high school football season is over across the area. Winter sports are already underway, and basketball and soccer schedules pick up at local schools in the coming weeks.
