No. 3 Madison Central (1-0) at No. 2 Brandon (1-0) This is always a fun matchup as the third-ranked Jaguars make the short trip over to Brandon to face the third-ranked Bulldogs in an early season top five showdown of Class 7A heavyweights. Both teams are coming off big road wins last week as Brandon ran past Picayune, while Madison Central held on to beat Ocean Springs. The intriguing matchup to watch in this one is the Madison Central defense against the potent Brandon offense. The Bulldogs, ranked No. 2 in Class 7A, offense had one heckuva debut for quarterback Sladen Shack, who had three touchdown passes in the season opener, and will lead the Bulldog up-tempo offense that has a plethora of weapons in receivers Jay McQueen and Quincy Phillips along with highly talented sophomore running back Tyson Robinson. Bulldog defense led by defensive back Preston Ashley along with linebackers Khalil Norwood and Ashton Moore. Madison Central, ranked No. 3 in Class 7A, will also bring a potent offense led by quarterback Jaiden Johnson along with running backs Glen Singleton and Mikel Stephen, receivers Zay Hart and Ryan Delaney and tight end and Florida commit Micah Jones. Defense is where Madison Central lean on that will be led by defensive ends Myles Miller and Korey Robinson along with defensive back Jamison Kelly and linebacker Avery Jackson. The Jaguars have won three out of the last four games in the series, but the home team has won each of the last three meetings, so going with the home in a close one.
