IRISH GLAD TO BE HOME
IRISH 3-2 HOST LEE COLTS 1-4, WHO UPSET NORTH DELTALEAGUE
CHASING INDIANOLA
The Greenville St. Joseph Irish left the Shillelagh Trophy in
Madison Friday night by virtue of a 24-13 loss to the 2-A Madison
St. Joe Bruins, now 5-0 on the season. The Irish gave the Bruins
their stiffest competition on the year, only to suffer loss two on
the Irish year. The only consolation is the Irish opportunity to
return home to district play against 1-4 Clarksdale Lee
Academy.
The 3-2 St. Joseph Irish were in the game for the distance
against Madison St. Joe; however, a lacking ground game and costly
miscues and penalties sealed the loss. Quarterback Brice Johnson
tossed the ball for 130 yards going 12 for 22, including 2
interceptions. Leading Irish receivers were Tre Adams 5 for 45
yards and Reggie Cotton 2 for 62 yards. Brice Johnson also ran the
ball 11 times for 51 yards. Defensively, Jo Jo Sanders had 13
tackles, followed by D.J. Washington and Peyton Wilkerson each with
6. Kendrick Ford had 5 tackles.
The Irish, now 3-2 on the campaign, return home to face 1-4
Clarksdale Lee, who scored a major upset last week in defeating an
ever-scrappy, district foe North Delta. To accompany that one win,
Lee has lost to formi-dable opponents Magnolia Heights, Manchester,
Pillow, and Heritage. Lee has yet to win on the road. The Lee Colts
have scored 36 points on the year, while giving up 163. The
home-standing Irish have scored 162, while allowing 60 in all
games.
The MAIS AAA District One again is chasing the Indianola
Colonels, perfect on the season 5-0 and in league play 2-0, as
well. Also in the district, Lee is 1-0, St. Joseph is 1-1, as is
North Delta. In the regional playoff pic-ture depicted by overall
records, IA tops the race followed by Central Hinds, Columbia, and
Heritage all at 4-1. Adams Christian, Centreville, Manchester, and
Simpson are 3-2, as Natchez Cathedral is 2-3 and Vicksburg St.
Aloysius is still winless.
