North Panola’s football season came to an end Friday night in Sardis, where the Cougars fell to Aberdeen 36-28 in the opening round of the Mississippi Class 3A playoffs. The loss ended a season in which North Panola captured its region championship and entered the postseason riding a four-game winning streak. Aberdeen built a 18-0 halftime lead and extended its advantage with 12 more points in the third quarter before North Panola mounted a second-half comeback. The Cougars scored 12 points in the third quarter and 16 in the fourth, but could not overcome the early deficit. North Panola quarterback K. Waldrup completed 11 of 17 passes for 170 yards and two touchdowns, although he was intercepted twice. Running back Stetson Rayford provided much of the Cougars’ offense, rushing for 120 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Rayford also caught four passes for 69 yards and another score.
