HATTIESBURG — The West Point vs. Picayune trilogy is complete, and Darrell Smith struck the deciding blow in favor of the Maroon Tide.
Smith hauled in a short pass in the left flat from Picayune quarterback Brady Robertson and sprinted 80 yards down the sideline for a touchdown, breaking two tackles on his way.
That touchdown gave Picayune a 24-14 lead late in the third quarter, an explosive and definitive turning point in a second half the Maroon Tide controlled on the way to a 31-21 win in the Mississippi 5A state championship game Friday night at M.M. Roberts Stadium.
