Picayune grinds down George County, 49-21, in first round playoff win

Cold, quick and dominant: a typical mid-November Friday night in Picayune. The Maroon Tide rolled George County in the opening round of the Class 6A Mississippi high school football playoffs, 49-21, and extend their streak of seasons with a playoff win to six.

We fought hard from the moment we kicked the ball off and all the way to the end.” Picayune built a 21-0 lead by halftime off the back of two Dennis touchdown runs and a 25-yard scoring catch by the senior.

Picayune responded in kind with another spurt of three unanswered scores. “We say that bad stuff is going to happen, and it’s all about how you respond to it,” Picayune quarterback Gabe Brewer said. “I think we responded great. Our confidence never wavered.” Kendall Jett, Jamari
