Senior linebacker Kendrick Newton has 104 tackles, while sophomore linebacker D'Angelo McCoy has 115 stops.

Junior noseguard Justin Shackleford, senior defensive tackle Dalton Gray and senior middle linebacker Damon May pace Booneville's defense, which shutout Dollarway in the first half. "Warren is big, athletic and fast," Booneville coach Scott Hyatt says. "It's the same thing for us to win as always. We've got to control the ball and keep it out of their hands. We'll use our offense to eat up the clock."
