Hard to believe, but the high school basketball season has begun.
On this episode, Brad and James take a look at the Daily Journal preseason rankings (1:33), and they both got out to games on Tuesday. The Itawamba AHS girls ran past Lafayette (2:55), while the Mooreville boys edged Shannon (4:34).
Turning to football, Tupelo closed out the regular season with a 36-6 beatdown of Starkville (6:04). Brad believes that if the Golden Wave can continue playing the way they did last week, a state title is well within reach. In 4A playoff action, Houston beat Shannon for the second time this season (9:12).
Looking ahead, teams in Classes 5A through 7A open the playoffs this Friday (10:36). As for second-round games, the guys preview East Webster-Kossuth in 3A (12:09) and Tupelo Christian-Vardaman in 1A (14:16).
