What made the difference in the game was the high-level execution from the Patriots and them controlling the football. Below are some exceptional athletes who contributed to the great contest on Friday.
Jackson Prep
Paxton Thompson Paxton Thompson 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Jackson Prep | 2023 State MS , QB 6-0 175 Class of 2023
Paxton was electric in Friday’s contest against the Colonels. He completed passes with extreme accuracy, extended plays, and made significant decisions with the football. It was a testament to his ability as his team was matched against another well-respected football team. Nevertheless, Paxton rose to the occasion and proved his ability to make accurate passes against a difficult team.
Will Upton, WR 5-9 165 Class of 2023
Will was a receiver who was all over the place making incredible catches. One of those catches includes an 80-plus-yard touchdown reception that helped give the Patriots the edge they needed. Overall Will proved his reliability as well as his ability to get open against a notable defense. His speed and intensity make up for his lack of size which makes him an exceptional slot receiver who can play at the next level.
Copiah Academy
DeJarious Segrest DeJarious Segrest 6'0" | 220 lbs | LB Copiah Academy | 2024 State MS , MLB 6-0 210 Class of 2024
Dejarious did an excellent job last week despite the results of the contest. He was consistently making tackles and following the ball carrier in order to make a play. This was certainly a true test of character as Segrest had to continue to keep his defense in check and continue to play at a high level. Regardless of the outcome Dejarious still proceeds to be an excellent athlete and prospect who can play the run and drop in coverage with great efficiency.
