From Various Reports

The season came to an end for a trio of prep football squads in the “Southern Six” Friday night in the opening round of the South State playoffs.
Home-standing Hattiesburg hammered Hancock 48-14 in first round play in Class 6A.
The Tigers jumped out to a quick 13-0 lead and never looked back against the Hawks. Hattiesburg remains unbeaten on the season at 12-0 and will host Pascagoula in the second round of the playoffs next week.
Hancock finishes the season at 3-9.

Hattiesburg quarterback Deuce Vance, the Class 6A “Mr. Football” in the state, took the opening kickoff and sprinted 95-yards for a touchdown to put his Tigers up for good at 7-0.
Then, on the first offensive possession of the game for HHS, Vance capped the scoring drive off with a 3-yard touchdown plunge to make it 13-0.
Hancock got a 2-yard touchdown run from running back Alex Vincent in the first half to trail 25-6 at halftime
The final score of the year for the Hawks came on a 35-yard touchdown run from quarterback Kaison Koenenn in the second half.

Meanwhile, in Brookhaven, the home-standing Panthers thumped visiting Vancleave 42-21 in the opening round in Class 5A. Ole’ Book moves to an impressive 10-1 overall on the season and will host Stone next week in the second round.
Vancleave’s once promising season ends on a three game losing streak and with a sudden thud at 5-6.
The Bulldogs scored on an 86-yard pass from Wyatt Adams to Daylan Moore as Brookhaven went into halftime up 21-7.
Trailing 28-7 in the third quarter, Vancleave scored on a quarterback sneak by Adams and an 8-yard run by Kyle Capers, but that would be all for VHS.

Elsewhere, in Class 7A, Brandon dispatched D’Iberville 43-28.
The Warriors got two touchdown runs from Jordan Walley and one apiece from both Andre Crosby and Conner Jones in the loss.
Brandon moves to 10-1 with the win and will host Petal in round two. The Warriors end their season at 5-6 and with two straight losses.
The decision marked the fourth win for the Bulldogs in four al-time meetings with DHS, with the last three coming in the first round of the state playoffs.
