PEARL – The only thing that could contain Mooreville’s offense was Trustmark Park’s cavernous dimensions. Mooreville scored early and often in a 15-8 win over Poplarville in Game 1 of the Class 4A championship series on Tuesday. The Troopers are a win away from their 10th state title and first since 2017.
