Skip to main contentYou have permission to edit this article.EditWelcome,HomeNews &amp; EventsSportsLifestyleObituariese-EditionsClassifiedsContestsFollow UsA brutal front-half schedule was by design. Early challenges were made to set up Taylorsville for a run at Region 7-1A and the playoffs, according to head coach Seth McDonald.The Tartars finished unbeaten in Region 7-1A on Thursday night, walloping Leake County 64-8 and claiming the program’s first region title since 2020."Our first goal on the board was to win district," said Taylorsville head coach Seth McDonald. "Now we can mark that goal off the board. Our next goal is to make it to the South State Championship and win. Then obviously, the third goal is to win the big [game] in the end."By the end of the first quarter, Taylorsville was one point away from starting a running clock against Leake County, outpacing the Gators 42-8.Execution led to efficiency, scoring 28 points on four offensive drives in the first 12 minutes that consisted of four, three, two, and one-play drives."The big thing you wanna see is execution," said McDonald. "It's not about who you're playing; it's about competing against yourself every snap. I challenged our guys to execute what we're doing. There were plays we made on the field offensively, and that's why you saw the short drives."The Tartars added a kickoff return for a touchdown on special teams and a scoop-and-score on defense."We knew in the defensive backfield that we had the chance to make plays," said McDonald. "Our guys were able to execute there and make some plays. I was pleased to see us execute all the way around."Taylorsville forced a running clock on Leake County with another offensive touchdown with 8:24 left in the second quarter.The Tartars added another score later in the quarter and one in the third.Senior running back Cobey Craft led the Tartars with three scores on seven carries and 133 yards rushing. Calvin Scott, Trey Barnes, Dre Keyes, and Trent Clark also added solo scores.Junior quarterback Laza Beaver threw three touchdown passes on seven completions for 140 yards.Taylorsville (5-5, 3-0) will likely host West Bolivar in the first round of the MHSAA Class 1A playoffs next Friday night."I knew we'd be tested early [in the season]," said McDonald. "I wanted to find out what we had under the hood and what kind of motor this team had. I think we found that out. Going into the playoffs, when adversity hits you in the face, our guys are ready to go because they've been there and done that."“We’re looking forward to the playoffs and making a run at it,” added McDonald. “We have to get healthy and get ready to go.”by TradingView
