Simpson Academy took a beating Friday night, October 13, 2023 at Copiah Academy 40-7.
The Cougars had only one touchdown which came at the end of the 4th quarter by Chance Funchess. Parker Pierce (#25) nailed the point after.
Copiah scored 6 points in the 1st quarter; 13 points in the 2nd quarter; 21 points in the 3rd quarter; and 0 points in the 4th quarter.
When Simpson blocked the point after on the first Copiah touchdown, the Cougars were wishing for a repeat of the Simpson VS Lamar game.
Copiah took off and never looked back. # 6 Jamarius Grayer (Junior) for Copiah was unstoppable. Small and quick, Grayer didn’t intend for anyone to catch him.
Simpson suffered several injuries in the game. #24 Braden Duncan who is a staple on offense and defense, did not come back after half time following a calf injuring at the end of the 2nd quarter. Connor Cone suffered a hip injury during the 4th quarter. Cone plays strong offense and defense positions. #50 Devan Drennan was also injured but recovered beefing up the defense.
Todd Mangum is Head Coach.
Assistant Coaches: Chaucer Funchess, Jerrod Jordan, Matt Lee, Randy McIntyre, and Terry Underwood.
Trainer Jonthan Pierce was kept busy throughout the game.
