Last time these teams met was Nov. 18, 2021, at Wayne County High School, when the War Eagles rolled to a 57-29 victory. Quarter scores from that meeting: Wayne County 17-9-15-16, Northeast Jones 4-13-8-4. That result gives Wayne County a recent edge in the series, but both programs will be looking to make statements this week — Northeast Jones hosts again and will be eager to defend home court.
