Trojans Reign over Vicksburg 13-7

Vicksburg Post article “Trojans Rain on Gators Parade“

The Only Previous Home Playoff Game

The Only Previous Home Playoff Game was in November of 1990.

From the 1990 Trojan Annual:

The 1990 Trojan Football team was led by a great group of seniors.  They helped pull it all together and with the teams dedication and hard work, they came out with a 10-4 record.

The Trojans started off with a preseason win over Fulton and on September 9, New Hope’s ofense and defense did a remarkable job against the South Lamar Stallions.  Trailing 21-7 at the half, New Hope rallied to take a 28-21 victory.

The homecoming game against the Kemper County Wildcats was a sure win for the Trojans as they took the victory 34-0.

On October 21, the Trojans gave Coach Jimmy Moore his 200th win with the final score 28-0 against Winona.

New Hope payed a perfect game in the first round of the State Play-offs and beat Collins, the number 2 ranked team in South Mississippi, 14-12.

In the second round of the State Play-offs against Forrest, New Hope won 21-14 due to team effort and an interception in the last minute of the game.

Advancing to the Final Four in South Mississippi, New Hope lost the last game of the year to Mendenhall.

Travel to Playoff game at Cleveland

Friday November 7th at Cleveland High School. Map showing school location in Cleveland.

300 W Sunflower Rd
Cleveland MS

All 4 lane route – Route map showing route through Greenwood, Indianola, Leland, highway 61N to Cleveland with (I’m told) all 4 lane roads (186 miles total per Yahoo maps, 3hrs 28min, 155 miles to Leland, then 31 miles to Cleveland).  At 70mph average, equals an additional 24 minutes over ideal traffic on the 26 mile shorter route listed next.

Route map showing route through Greenwood, highway 49N, highway 8, Ruleville to Cleveland with 45 miles of two lane roads (160 miles total per Yahoo maps, 3hrs 11min).  Considering friday afternoon traffic, school bus traffic, etc, would add an additional 20 minutes cushion to this route.

Another route map shows going to Winona, interstate 55 to Grenada, and highway 8 (two lanes) for 52 miles to Cleveland (166 miles total per Yahoo maps, 3hrs 21min).
