In a cool and clear Friday night in Starkville, the Yellow Jackets showcased their skills on the field, securing a commanding 35-0 win against the Greenwood Bulldogs. This match marked the last non-district game of the season, and the energy was electric as fans rallied behind their teams.

A Fast Start for the Jackets

Switching it Up in the Second Half

With the momentum heavily in their favor, Starkville made some changes in the third quarter. Tylan Calvert took over at quarterback and quickly got in on the action.
