BATESVILLE – The North Delta Green Wave (5-3 overall, 2-1 district) will travel to Marvell, Ark. to meet the Marvell Eagles, Friday October 18.
The Green Wave are coming off an emotional loss to rival Strider Academy on Friday, October 11.
The game against Marvell is a big conference game for the Green Wave. Head Coach Rick Johnston said his team is looking to bounce back against Marvell.
Marvell (5-3 overall, 1-2 district) lost district games to Marshall Academy 27-6 and to Kirk Academy 31-7. The one district win was over West Memphis 48-0.
Kirk Academy leads the conference with a record of 4-0. Kirk plays Marshall Academy tonight for its last conference game. Marshall is going in with only one conference loss and that was to North Delta.
The playoff scenario in 1-AA is beginning to become clear. If Marshall defeats Kirk tonight and North Delta wins tonight and next week against West Memphis, then there will be a three way tie for the District 1-AA Championship with records of 4-1.

BATESVILLE – South Panola (7-0 overall, 3-0 district) is revved up for one of its biggest football games of the season. The No. 2 ranked Tigers head to Golden Wave territory in Tupelo tonight.
Because of Tupelo’s (4-3 overall, 1-2 district) homecoming festivities, the kickoff has been moved back to 7 p.m.
In 2001 South Panola posted a 5-6 record, the first losing season since 1990. Starting with a 17-14 loss to Tupelo last year, the Tigers were on a downward spiral which resulted in four straight losses at the end of the season.
The foundation for this 7-0 team was laid last year. This year the team has been building the walls. These upcoming four district games will determine if the house will get finished by the end of the regular season.
