Week 4 High School Pick’em
After an action-packed first full slate last week, the fourth week of games this week is promising to be one of the best yet. In our game of the week this week, we have two MHSAA 7A powerhouses facing off, as Madison Central travels to take on Brandon. These two programs are ranked first and second in the state, respectively, by the computerized Massey Ratings, which were used to determine the rankings during the BCS era of college football.
For this week’s guest picker we have former Madison Central and current Louisiana Tech football star Jimmy Holliday. While Holliday is now a wide receiver at Louisiana Tech, he was one of the state’s best quarterbacks during his time with the Jaguars. He was a two-time all-state selection, led Madison Central to two state semifinal appearances, and took home Region MVP honors. He put up monster numbers in his time with the Jaguars, throwing for 3,507 yards and 37 touchdowns, while also rushing for 3,568 yards and 51 touchdowns in three seasons. He signed with Tennessee out of high school and spent three seasons with the Volunteers, before transferring to Western Kentucky, and now landing with Louisiana Tech.
