Cottondale (4-5) at Lafayette County – Mayo (9-1) 7 pm
It will be an all out Hornet fight on Friday night as Cottondale travels to Mayo to take on the Lafayette County Hornets in round one of the FHSAA Class 1B playoffs. Cottondale is coming off a rough outing against a very good Liberty County squad. This will be the first time in the playoffs for Cottondale since the 2005 season and on offense they will be relying on the legs of Dominique Webb (857 yards & 7 TDs) and Evan Davis (500 yards & 5 TDs). They’ll also need a solid performance from QB CJ Smith, who has thrown for 711 yards and 7 TDs. Defensively Cottondale has been led by Eli Jackson with 76 tackles followed by Ronnie Dixon (70), Davis with 67 and Cody Saye with 58. That defense will certainly have their hands full on Friday night as they will be trying to stop the high scoring attack of Lafayette County. The red and white Hornets of Mayo have averaged 40 points a ball game this year. And while Cottondale may be in their first playoffs in awhile, this is not the first rodeo for the Mayoians. Lafayette County has now made the playoffs six straight seasons and in those six season they have amassed a record of 58-9.
