A pair of Jackson County teams fared far differently in region action at home Friday night.
Gautier celebrated Homecoming with a big 31-8 win over visiting Wayne County as the Gators moved to 2-0 in Region 4-5A play.
Gautier standout quarterback Trey Irving accounted for all four Gator touchdowns, as he threw for three scores and ran for another in the winning effort.

Irving hit Devon Garrett on a 2-yard toss in the first quarter and then he ran for a score from the same distance in the second stanza and combined with a 25-yard field goal from Eric Robinson the home team was up 17-0 at halftime.
It was more of the Trey Irving show in the second half, as he hit Latrell Pogue on a 9-yard touchdown toss in the third quarter and followed that up with a 62-yard scoring strike to Kainen Rush in the fourth frame to seal the win.
The Gators moved to 6-1 overall with their fifth straight win, while once mighty Wayne County is 1-1 in the region race and 2-6 overall.

Meanwhile, in Moss Point, visiting Pass Christian notched its first Region 8-4A win of the season with a 41-0 shutout of the home-standing Tigers.
Moss Point’s woes continue, as the Tigers drop to 0-8 overall and 0-3 in the region race. The Pirates moved to 1-2 in league play and 4-4 overall.
Pass Christian got four total touchdowns from quarterback Paris Trivillion and Pirate tailback Jacquez Alexander Dedeaux accounted for three scores as well in the win.

Dedeaux started the scoring late in the first quarter with a 4-yard touchdown dash.
It was Trivillion’s turn next as he hooked up with Matthew Daniely on a 40-yard scoring strike less than a minute into the second stanza.
Trivllion wasn’t done as he added two touchdowns on the ground during the remainder of the quarter, one from 11-yards out and a 1-yard sneak as PCHS took a commanding 28-0 lead into halftime.
Dedeaux hauled in a 36-yard passing score from Trivillion in the third frame and he then ran for an 11-yard score in the fourth period to wrap up the scoring at 41-0.
