Melrose 42 Kirby 20
The Golden Wildcats only led 22-20 at the half before breaking the game open down the stretch to continue their remarkable turnaround from last year. Melrose started the season with a 16 game losing streak and they are trying to get the program back to where it used to be. A 4-0 start in 2013 has the team headed in the right direction. Both sides of the ball were getting it done Friday night vs the Cougars. The Golden Wildcats defense held Kirby to 3 first downs and 87 yds of total offense for the game and JR KeVon Hall picked off a pass and returned it 36 yds for a TD.

Johnson also had 76 yds rushing on 5 carries and a TD.
Trezevant 40 Fairley 0

JR QB Jordan Spencer only completed 2 passes all night but both went for TD's. SR DB Marcus Bradley scooped up a fumble and returned it 45 yds for a score to lead the defense which held the Bulldogs to 5 first downs and 88 yds of total offense for the game.
Collierville 50 Cordova 16
It's not often that you get outgained in total yards by a wide margin yet outscore your opponent very decisively but that's exactly what happened in Collierville Friday night. The Dragons were outgained in total yards 448-218 but won the game going away. JR WR Drew Van De Vuurst got things started by returning the opening kickoff 90 yds for a TD, his first of three scores on the night. JR QB Alex Hicks only completed 6 passes on the night for 127 yds but 4 of them went for touchdowns. Special teams had a hand in the scoring as well.

CBHS 44 West Memphis 13
When you only have possession of the ball for a total of 18 minutes in a game, things aren't usually going your way. Fortunately for the Brothers, this was their night. The passing game was finally a factor in the game. SR QB Breck Ruddick was a perfect 7-7 for 213 yds and a TD. JR WR Warner Hill caught 3 passes for 124 yds and the TD in addition to making 8 tackles on the other side of the ball. The ground game continues to be effective as SR Connor Harris rushed for 98 yds and 3 scores. Even though the CBHS defense was on the field quite a bit, it was more of a bend but don't break effort. SR DB Greg Sanders led the way with 14 tackles while JR LB's Christopher Varnado & Hayden Ferrari and JR DB Walker Grisanti each had 9 to lead a defense that had an interception and recovered two fumbles.
FACS 47 Tipton Rosemark 14

Are we seeing a star in the making in North Shelby County? SO QB Eldon Tyms produced big time for the second straight week as the Trojans dominated the annual M & M Bowl. One week after Tyms accounted for all four scores in their win vs Cordova, he accounted for all 6 touchdowns vs Munford. Tyms broke school records for passing yds in a game with 273 and passing touchdowns in a game with 5. Even when Tyms made a mistake by throwing an interception, he was right there to catch the fumble in mid air when the Munford defender lost it and returned it 30 yds for a score. Tyms spread the ball around by hitting 7 different receivers on the night including SR WR Chris Sanders for a 82 yd TD pass on the first play of the game. JR WR Damarius Curry had 4 catches on the night for 84 yds and 2 TD's. The Trojan defense was stellar in pitching the shutout and held the Cougars to 51 yds of total offense including -34 rushing.
Brighton 31 Covington 7
Another rivalry game is the annual tilt between the Cardinals and the Chargers in Tipton County. Covington got on the board first but this game was all Brighton after that.

On the flip side, Brighton's offense put up 459 yds of total offense. The Cardinals had a pair of 100 yd rushers: SR's Blue Currie and Zach Ballard.

White Station 7 East 6
A hard hitting defensive struggle between both teams ended up being decided by an extra point. All of the scoring in this one was done in the first half. SR LB Darius Hurt returned a blocked punt 9 yards for the score for the Mustangs but their 2 pt conversion failed and it was huge. SR Eldridge Thompson scored for the Spartans and the ensuing extra point by SR K West Wiggins provided the margin of victory. White Station only had 84 yds of total offense on the night and East finished with 135. Spartan QB Cedric Wilson, Jr, left the game with an injury.
