The Tigers initially had the upper hand with an early touchdown, but Poplarville quickly responded and took the lead for good. Freshman Ty Keys had an impressive debut as a starter, scoring four touchdowns and running for 168 yards. The Hornets’ offense was dominant, never having a negative yardage play and converting both of their third downs. Moss Point struggled to finish drives and convert fourth downs throughout the game.
