'Best player in the state': 3 takeaways from Madison Central's win over Pearl

Sep 16, 2019

Wild crowd at game between Madison Central and Pearl

Clarion Ledger

Per The Clarion Ledger

Madison Central head coach Anthony Hart watches a little college football when he can on Saturdays. Often, he compares the quarterbacks he sees to his own, Dandy Dozen Jimmy Holiday.

Hart said sometimes he feels like Holiday is just as good, if not better, than some of his collegiate quarterbacks. In a showdown of the top two teams in the Clarion Ledger Super 10, the senior put forth yet another outstanding game, running for four touchdowns and throwing for another.

Here are some takeaways from the No. 1 Jaguars' 34-21 win over No. 2 Pearl.

Things got off to a slow start for Madison Central. The Jaguars went scoreless in the first quarter and for a moment it looked as if fans might be in for a defensive struggle. Then, Holiday took his fourth carry of the game straight up the gut of the Pirates' defense for an 82-yard touchdown.

VYPE Louisiana's Top 20 Rankings

By Grant Smith and Ethan MaCloud

After a wild week six, Westgate High School has arrived in the Top 20. They edged out St. Thomas More in a thriller, 24-21, behind the performance of star WR Kayshon Boutte. With their second straight loss, St. Thomas More continues to slide down our rankings.

After also losing last week, Destrehan, East Ascension, and St. Augustine fall out of the Top 20. St. Augustine has a tough road ahead thanks to the controversial firing of their head coach and daunting district schedule.

The top seven teams remain unbeaten along with Dutchtown, 2A Notre Dame and 2A Isidore Newman. Leading Newman to their 6-0 start has been a freshman quarterback with a familiar last name. Arch Manning, son of Cooper and grandson of Archie, continues to have an outstanding season drawing comparisons to his uncles.

Another New Orleans area undefeated team, Rummel, has still not given up a touchdown on the season. However, they will face a strong Holy Cross team on Friday.
