High school standouts match up in SEC game

Former Neshoba Central Rocket Jarquez Hunter and former Philadelphia Tornado Lideatrick “Tulu” Griffin got together after Mississippi State’s 39-33 overtime victory over Auburn Saturday night.

Griffin had one of the most electric plays of the night as a special teams returner.

Towards the latter half of the second quarter, the speedster hauled in a kick on his team's eight-yard line and wove his way around defenders for the 92-yard touchdown.

Not only did his big play give the Bulldogs some big points that ultimately helped them win the game, but it also came at a crucial time right after Auburn put its first points on the board.

This is Griffin's first kick return touchdown of the season, but he's come close to breaking away countless other times. Hunter rushed 12 times for 54 yards and caught one pass for 11 yards.
