Madison Central takes down #1 Starkville 15-9.

Jaguars controlled the clock in the 2nd half. Young 3rd string QB is looking like he’ll be a good one.

Wow. That is something else they held Starkville to 9 points. Kudos to MC defense

Soph QB should have played when the starter went down. Wasted reps on a non QB and had to go to the soph after last week.

In hindsight, yes. But earlier in the season he didn’t look as good as #4. But he showed a lot of poise for his 1st start to be against the #1 team in the state.

If you watched the game or attended it, Starkville self-destructed in the 1st quarter. They looked like us. Their QB put the ball on the hands of every receiver wide open for touchdowns and they all drop the passes. Madison could not gain a yard and Starkville controlled the game. But the Madison Central running back broke a tackle on his own 10 and ran about 70 yards and then the young QB tossed a TD pass, Madison led 7-0. Then, Starkville moved the ball at will once the receivers caught the ball and scored but missed the PAT, 7-6 Madison Central. Both defenses played solid in the 2nd half until Starkville kicked a field goal and took a 9-7 lead but it was all Madison Central from there. Young QB for Madison will be a D-1 prospect. Luke Altmeyer for Starkville is the real deal but had no help and the Starkville offensive line can't block at all.

Didn’t see the 1st half, but Madison controlled the 2nd half from the kickoff. Starkville did get the FG off a turnover, but that was it. In 66 snaps, MC defense had 10 tackles for loss & 13 QB hurries.
