Starkville 21, West Point 20

After a bad first half (including a terrible 1st quarter), the Yellow Jackets were down 20 to 0. Then the Jackets got their heads on straight and scored 21 unanswered in the 2nd half for a dramatic win. West Point missed at 42 yard field goal at the end. (It was accurate, but just short.)

Last week, the Jackets lost a heart-breaker 14-7 to the Meridian Wildcats (ranked #2 in Mississippi and #59 in the U.S. at the time) but were able to get the win this week against the Green Wave (ranked #3 in Mississippi and #82 nationally). In another month or so, the Jackets get to play South Panola, currently #1 in Miss. and #1 nationally. The schedule is tough but the Jackets are coming around. Rivals U.S. Top 100

I have some Meridian game video and West Point post-game video up as well. (I had some video of the first two West Point drives, but they were terrible. Once we started coming back, Aunt Lisa wouldn't let me jinx it by videoing. She is 2 for 2 and is now required at all games.) My YouTube Site

Oh, and Ben has now played 16 quarters as starting center, so he's earned his letter for the first time. Congrats Ben! Happy Ben
