Jefferson County to play in the South State Championship on Friday

Jefferson County High School will play in the South State Championship on Friday for the first time in the school’s history.

The Tigers handled business last week after defeating Seminary 30-17 in the third round of the playoffs.

“Our offense, defense and special teams was clicking last week and they played four full quarters of football which is what we have been preaching all year,”JCHS Head Coach Roderick Holmes said.

The Tigers are now on a four-game winning streak where they have been averaging 41 points per game during that time span. Defensively they’ve only allowed 15.5 points per game in the last four performances.

JC’s program has been at the top of their game since Holmes took over a couple of years ago as they they have won back to back District Championships.

The Tigers(9-3) will host Noxubee County(9-4) on Friday.
