Why this one matters

Rivalry games in south Mississippi are always physical and fast-paced. The last time these teams met, Richton posted a 48-28 victory at Richton High on Jan. 31, 2023. Whether Lumberton comes out sharper at home or Richton rides momentum back into town, expect a tough, low-possession game that will come down to defensive stops and late free throws.
