Amory has been on a roll all year. Their guys haven’t stopped a beat since the season started. Who does the people see winning this game? Let’s talk about it.
Amory
Amory has a very good team that knows how to win football games. They know how to play good defense and they also know how to play good offense. Charleston French Charleston French 5'9" | 195 lbs | RB Amory | 2023 State MS is the star of this offense and he knows how to tote the rock. French is also very good in the return game. Amory has a very good special teams unit and that helps them win a lot of games. Hayden Dozier Hayden Dozier 6'3" | 295 lbs | OL Amory Mississippi | 2023 State MS and Kobe Williams hold down that offensive line. These guys give French a lot of room to get through holes. Jatarian Ware is going to have to be real careful throwing the ball this week. Noxubee Co has a good secondary and he doesn’t want to get happy feet. The Tigers also have a good defensive line capable of getting a lot of pressure on Ware. Allen Dobbs and Elijah Spratt Elijah Spratt 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Amory | 2024 State MS are going to want to be crafty with their routes this week. That Noxubee Co secondary isn’t easily fooled.
Amory has a very good defense and they have some speed. They need to understand that this game is going to be a lot different. Noxubee County has their starting quarterback back in action and he knows how to deliver the rock. Elijah Spratt Elijah Spratt 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Amory | 2024 State MS plays defense and he does a great job on that side of the ball. Allen Dobs also plays great defense. Walker Maranto plays the tackling machine for this Panther defense. He definitely can’t fall asleep this week. Noxubee County does have the potential to run the football. Ryan Alsup is another guy who doesn’t mind coming up to hit on this Panther defense. Carter Lundquist and Nathaniel Walker Nathaniel Walker 6'0" | 200 lbs | LB Amory | 2024 State MS is going to do their best to get a lot of pressure on the quarterback of Noxubee County. Pressure in the pocket is going to be the key to Amory winning this football game.
Noxubee County
Kamario Taylor Kamario Taylor 6'4" | 180 lbs | QB Noxubee County | 2025 State MS is back in full motion for the Noxubee County Tigers. A lot of their fans will admit they are happy to see that. Taylor is a true playmaker. He is far from just a game manager that’s keeping the game going. He also can get things done on the ground. That’s a part of his game that a lot of people don’t pay attention. When teams sleep on Taylor’s running game he normally makes them pay for it. AJ Little is a senior receiver who wants to get him a ring this senior season. He is going to be getting a lot of looks tomorrow. He is definitely a true stud. Dequadrion Welch Dequadrion Welch 5'10" | 160 lbs | WR Noxubee County | 2024 State MS is another good receiver they have as well as Martavious Wicks. Bryson Kelly will be the general holding down the offensive line. They need to be prepared for a great push by this Amory offensive line.
Noxubee County has a good secondary, but they need to be able to stop the run this week. They cannot let French get to popping off ten yard runs every other play. Their defense needs to be very disciplined this week and they also need to be concerned with the run. I think that Noxubee Co needs to stack the box this week. Make Jatarian Ware be a pocket passer. Do not allow them to focus mainly on the running game. Make Amory have to be a passing team this week. I wouldn’t do a lot of blitzing, but I would have the defensive lineman shooting gaps with my linebackers prepared to make plays.
This is going to be a good game. It won’t be the same game from the regular season. Kamario Taylor Kamario Taylor 6'4" | 180 lbs | QB Noxubee County | 2025 State MS being back is going to be the x factor for Noxubee County.
