Gators prepared for Holmes County tonight

The No. 10 ranked Vicksburg High Gators are set to travel to Lexington, Miss., to play the Holmes County Central Jaguars tonight.

The Gators are undefeated going into tonight’s game and they hope to remain that way.  In their 61-58 victory against Madison Central on Tuesday, Vicksburg stopped every one of Madison’s defenders to prove they can handle any teams that comes their way.

The Gators are led by Cameron Butler who hit a big 3-pointer last Tuesday to seal the victory against Madison.

The Gators are off to their best start since head coach Kevin Carter took over the program in 2017 after legendary head coach Dellie Robinson retired due to illness. Carter is in his third season as head coach, and his staff, Lee Bell and Julius Williams, helps keep the team in line.

Holmes County (1-3) has struggled early this season but finally won their first game Tuesday against Humphreys County. Louzavious Thomas is leading Holmes County with 12 points per game, but the Gators tough defense is prepared for anything in tonight’s game.

The game will be held tonight at Holmes County Central High School at 7:30 p.m. following the girl’s game.
