JACKSON - Although the weather conditions made it difficult to get games in this weekend, the level of competition at this year's Mid Mississippi Classic cannot be understated, as several of the top team in Mississippi and Alabama took the field. On Friday several teams where rained out while others were able to find alternate facilities to get play in. Our scouting staff was able to catch Faith Acadmey (AL) and Madison Central, as they played at Milsaps College due to field conditions in Madison. Saturday matchup's stayed pretty much on schedule and allowed our staff to sit in on Germantown High where the talent rich rosters where on full display. Today we look at a few prospects we were able to catch in action.
