Jackets Edged By Mavericks In PKs
January 23, 2026
STARKVILLE - For the second time in a week, Starkville suffered a setback in the penalty kicks stage as Germantoewn staved off the Jackets to decide the final region match of the season.
After a scoreless 80 minutes, both squads answered each other in penalty kicks until GHS made one more stop to record the result in PKs, 7-6. SHS dropped its match with Clinton earlier in the week.
Thursday's contest marked the finak home game for the senior class.
SHS will wrap up the season on Thursday, Jan. 29 with an out-of-region match up with Kosciusko.
