Picayune vs. Laurel 5A South State

Anything can happen in the playoffs. Sometimes the big dogs get knocked off. That’s not the case here in 5A South State with Region 3’s best Laurel paying a visit to Region 4’s best Picayune.
State champions from two years ago meet state champions from three years ago with a trip to Starkville on the line.
Picayune opens up the huge 20-3 lead, but it’s the Golden Tornados coming back in a big way as they advance to the state title game for the first time since 2014. Laurel wins 45-27.
