Here ten games to watch for Week 8 of the high school football season. No. 5 Madison Central (4-1) at No. 1 Tupelo (6-0) This is a matchup a lot of people have been waiting for as the fifth-ranked Jaguars make the long trip up to Renesant Field to face the top-ranked Golden Wave in a top five showdown and Region 2-7A opener. This is a rematch of last year’s second round Class 7A playoff matchup that Madison Central won 14-12. Tupelo, ranked No. 1 in Class 7A, is coming into this game rolling on offense averaging 34.2 points, 143.5 yards passing, and 218.2 yards rushing per game led by quarterback Noah Gillon, running back Jaeden Hill (913 yards rushing, 17 touchdowns) along with receiver Tyreke Darden. Linebackers Devontray Brewer, Chris Ivy and Malachi Gilleylen along with defensive backs Maison Dunn and Iverson McCoy anchor a stout Golden Wave defense that only allows 12.5 points per game. Madison Central, ranked No. 4 in Class 7A, will also bring a balanced offense attack that averages 25.4 points, 207.6 yards rushing, and 160.4 yards passing led by quarterback Jaiden Johnson along with running backs Glen Singleton (503 yards rushing, 10 touchdowns), Mykel Hogue 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 only allows 17.8 points per game will be led by defensive ends Myles Miller and Korey Robinson along with defensive back Jamison Kelly and linebacker Avery Jackson. This is always a low scoring matchup when these two teams meet, but the Wave get the job done at home in a close one.
