• Defense fuels bounceback wins for New Hope, Starkville Academy (cdispatch.com) — New Hope High's Trojans bounced back in a big way, dominating Houston 34-7 behind a standout two-way performance from sophomore Tyrekus Brooks and a swarming defense. After using their bye week to regroup, New Hope now looks to keep that momentum going at home against visiting Saltillo, while other nearby schools like Starkville Academy, Oak Hill, and Caledonia also faced pivotal games.
