Two seasons ago, the May Tigers’ postseason march was halted at the hands of the Leakey Eagles.  At 6 p.m. Friday in Ozona, No. 4 May (11-1) attempts to return the favor in its first meeting with No. 8 Leakey (11-1) since the 2018 playoffs as the Class A Division I Region IV championship is at stake.

The Eagles are averaging 64 points and 406 yards – 241 rushing and 165 passing – per game.

The Tigers have defeated Irion County (46-0) and Jonesboro (62-16) in playoff action, while the Eagles have knocked off Lometa (79-30) and Water Valley (64-46).

The lone losses for each team occurred against top 5 teams as No. 1 Sterling City edged May (44-40) on Sept. 4, while No. 5 Rankin nipped Leakey (98-97) on Sept. 18.

Friday’s winner will face the Region III champion – either reigning state champion Blum (8-3) or No. 9 Union Hill (11-0) – in the state semifinals next week.

According to sixmanfootball.com, May is a 22-point favorite.

Good luck to Coach Craig Steele and the May Tigers!
