Wesson Cobras Set for High-Stakes Showdown Against Loyd Star

Special to Wesson News

It’s a clash of perfection in Wesson tonight as the Cobras host the Loyd Star Hornets for a highly anticipated conference showdown. Both teams enter the matchup with identical 6–0 records, setting the stage for a thrilling test under the Friday night lights. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. on Wesson’s home field.

The Cobras have been on a tear this season, showing consistency, focus, and explosive playmaking on both sides of the ball. Their defense has kept opponents in check, while the offense continues to find ways to light up the scoreboard. But tonight’s opponent isn’t one to underestimate—Loyd Star has matched Wesson’s intensity all season long and will be looking to avenge last year’s loss.

When these two teams met in September 2024, everything came up roses for Wesson.

The Cobras took control early, surging to a 44–0 halftime lead and never looking back as they sealed a commanding 44–12 victory. That performance set the tone for the remainder of their season, and there’s no doubt the team will be looking to recreate that same spark on Friday night.

However, with both squads unbeaten this year, this rematch carries even more weight. Loyd Star comes in hungry for redemption, while Wesson aims to prove once again that their success wasn’t a fluke. The outcome could very well shape the path to the postseason and determine which program holds the upper hand in the conference race.

Fans can expect a packed stadium, a charged atmosphere, and the kind of hard-hitting, high-energy football that defines small-town Mississippi pride. One thing is certain—when the final whistle blows tonight, only one team will remain undefeated.
