Tallulah Academy faced a tough challenge against another top Mississippi squad, Porter's Chapel Academy, and fell 36-28.

Delhi Charter was handed its third straight loss after a 42-12 defeat to Oak Grove. The Tigers led 42-0 by halftime before the Gators managed to score twice late in the game. Delhi Charter now sits at 1-4, while Oak Grove improved to 5-1 with its fourth straight win. The Gators will host Ouachita Christian at 7 p.m. Thursday.
