Game Overview:

Time: 7 pm, Friday, October 20th

Location: Columbus, Mississippi

Records: #7 Jackson Prep (9-0) New Hope (5-4)

Player/Matchup to Watch:

QB Kyree Fields / New Hope

New Hope has been led thus far by a star athlete in Kyree Fields. Fields has provided a presence all year for the Trojans. He is leading the team in not only passing yards (787), but he also leads the team in rushing yards (610) and rushing touchdown (9). Kyree has not been limited to only playing defense, he has also spent time on defense and special teams.

The Jackson Prep defense, who has been a force all year, will have to put up another dominant effort if they want to contain Fields and the Trojan offense. It will all start up front with the Patriots defensive line led by playmakers like Adam Norsworthy and Spivey Gault. Norsworthy, a Junior, leads the team on the year with 4.0 sacks on the year. If the defense can contain Fields then they will be one step closer to their tenth win of the season.
