What to watch

This is an early-season meeting with no recent head-to-head result on file, so look for each team to set a tone heading into the holiday stretch.

Jefferson County will be coming off a Dec. 20 home date against Natchez, while Salem’s next scheduled game is Dec. 27 vs. Amite County, so both teams are shaping their December schedules around a busy week.
