CLASS 3A SEMIFINALS

HOOTENS.COM 3A GAME OF THE WEEK

NO. 1 CHARLESTON (12-1)  at No. 2 Rison (11-0), 7 p.m. 

Rison and Charleston meet with a trip to War Memorial Stadium on the line for the fifth time. Rison upset Prescott 34-29 Friday night, winning with big plays on defense and controlling the clock on offense. Junior QB/Safety Blaine Dixon snagged the game-winning interception against Prescott, ending the drive with 34 seconds left in the game. Charleston QB Brandon Scott stepped up on defense Friday, holding Jackson State commit Kylan Crite to 5 yards on 1 catch in the first half. Senior  DT Dale Smith recovered a fumble and returned it for a TD. The team that has won 3 of their previous 4 semifinal meetings has won a state title (1991, 2004, 2005). 

NO. 4 BOONEVILLE (11-2) at No. 3 Melbourne (13-0), 7 p.m.

RB Dax Goff became the first Booneville player to rush for at least 2,000 yards in a season after posting a 189-yard effort in a 35-20 win over Osceola. Goff, a junior, broke a 44-year mark held by Ronnie Littleton. 

Melbourne, playing its 10th season of football, owns a school-record 13 wins after surviving Glen Rose for a 21-20 victory. Senior QB Trey Wren tossed 2 TDs to Carter Bray and ran for another. This will be Booneville’s third consecutive road game in the playoffs; Melbourne faces a Flexbone team for the first time this season.
