Tupelo is 1-2 against Starkville this season losing by 3 and 19 points. The win was by 10 points. Tupelo barely escaped the semifinal round to advance while Starkville won the hard fought, low scoring battle. Starkville is playing on a top level right now and I hate to pick against them but I think Tupelo evens the season record up in this series. I can see this going either way really. If Starkville can ugly it up and keep the scoring low I see them barely getting the win. If Tupelo gets into a flow and makes it higher scoring I see them getting it. This is a tough one to pick. Let’s go with Tupelo to repeat.
