Scores from last Night: Louisville ends Kosciusko’s unbeaten run; Tupelo stays perfect
Louisville ended Kosciusko’s unbeaten start with a 59-38 road victory in conference play on October 9, 2026. Tupelo preserved its perfect record with a 42-0 win at Southaven, while Germantown’s 38-28 victory at Starkville left those teams with matching 4-2 records.
Louisville delivers Kosciusko’s first defeat
Kosciusko’s first loss came at home in conference play. Louisville scored 59 points against the Whippets, lifting the Wildcats to 5-2 while Kosciusko slipped to 6-1. The result changes the story of a matchup highlighted in Friday’s Games To Watch preview: the Whippets left the field with their unbeaten run over.
Tupelo takes control early and stays unbeaten
Tupelo’s conference win at Southaven was decided by early scoring and a shutout. The Golden Wave scored 21 points in the opening quarter, added 14 in the second and 7 in the third, and held the Chargers scoreless throughout. The 42-0 final moved Tupelo to 7-0 and Southaven to 1-4.
Germantown leaves Starkville with a league victory
Germantown won 38-28 at Starkville in another conference matchup. Both teams finished the night 4-2 overall, but the identical records conceal different outcomes: the Mavericks added a league win on the road, while the Yellowjackets took a league loss at home.
MaxPreps credited Germantown running back Syrone McBeath with 139 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns on 19 carries.
Center Hill and DeSoto Central win away from home
Center Hill won 28-14 at Grenada to move to 5-1, with Grenada now 3-2. After a scoreless first quarter, the Mustangs scored 14 points in the second. Each team scored 14 in the third, and neither added points in the fourth. Center Hill’s second-quarter scoring therefore provided the separation in a conference game whose remaining quarters were even.
DeSoto Central’s 48-3 conference win at Lewisburg brought a wider margin. The Jaguars scored 14 points in the first quarter, 21 in the second and 13 in the third; the Patriots’ only points came in the second quarter. DeSoto Central finished 5-1, while Lewisburg dropped to 2-4. Alongside Tupelo’s shutout of Southaven, the result gives this selection another emphatic road win in conference play.
Shannon holds off Houston’s late scoring
Shannon beat Houston 26-21 in a conference game that tightened in the final quarter. The Red Raiders scored in every period, including 6 points in the fourth, while Houston scored 14 of its 21 points in that closing quarter. The Hilltoppers’ late scoring did not erase the deficit. Shannon improved to 5-2, and Houston fell to 2-5.
Biggersville earns road win at Walnut
Biggersville earned a 16-6 non-conference victory at Walnut, improving to 2-5 and leaving the Wildcats at 3-4.
