The North Panola Cougars will try to get back on the winning track Friday when they play host to Rosa Fort (Tunica) in Sardis. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
The Cougars dropped a district game last week in a 32-28 road loss to Independence. The team opened 3A Region 2 play two weeks ago with a win over Coahoma County.
North Panola is 3-5 overall with two games remaining in the season.
Rosa Fort is 5-3 overall and 2-1 in region play with wins over Coahoma County and Holly Springs, and a loss to Independence. The Lions trounced Holly Springs 62-32 last week.
Last week against Independence, North Panola was tied 16-16 at the half and led 28-24 after three quarters, but couldn’t score in the last period while giving up a touchdown, resulting in the disappointing four-point loss.
