Is there a smarter play in Shelby-Metro prep football this season than handing off to Tausean Holmes?
The Millington senior running back is averaging 18.1 yards per rush after his nine-carry, 180-yard performance Friday night. His heroics helped the No. 3 Trojans' to a 28-19 victory over visiting Ridgeway in Region 7-5A.
Southaven's Tyler Brant looks for his receiver as Tupelo defenders close in. But it was the Tupelo offense that starred on this night.

The Cougars made it close with a pair of second-half touchdown passes by Deion Woods.
In perhaps the night's wildest game, Mitchell rolled to an early three-touchdown lead, then survived a second-half onslaught by host Christian Brothers in a 35-34 victory.
