Bogue Chitto, coached by Gareth Sartin, mustdefeat Lincoln County rival Enterprise to remain in contention forthe No. 4 spot in the Region 4-1A race. Under the MHSAA rules, thetop four teams in each region advance to next week’s 1A South Stateplayoffs.

Bogue Chitto head coach Gareth Sartin has scouted Enterprise. Hetalked about tailback Terrell May and the Jackets offensiveline.

“May is a real good running back,” said Sartin. “He runs theball well. Their offensive line does a good job coming off theball. They moved the ball up and down the field on Dexter lastweek.

“We expect them (Jackets) to come over here and play us hard,”added Sartin. “We need to hold onto the football. Last week, we hadsix turnovers. We can’t turn the ball over and win.”
