Pass Christian Powers Past Forest 62-33 in Playoff Opener

by Charlie Rook

Pass Christian opened its Class 4A postseason campaign with an offensive explosion Friday night, defeating Forest 62-33 to advance to the second round of the Mississippi high school football playoffs.

The Pirates delivered one of the highest-scoring performances of the opening round, putting 62 points on the scoreboard in a game that showcased their offensive firepower.

Forest managed to score 33 points, but Pass Christian’s ability to consistently produce points proved too much for the visiting opposition. The Pirates finished with a 29-point advantage, demonstrating the type of offensive production that can make a team particularly dangerous during postseason competition.

The victory comes at an important point in the season, with the Pirates entering a playoff field that includes several strong Class 4A programs. Advancing beyond the opening round represents another opportunity for Pass Christian to build on its season and continue competing against the state’s best teams.

While the Pirates’ offense drew much of the attention, the next challenge will be finding ways to complement that scoring ability with consistent defensive stops as the level of competition increases.

With the first round complete, Pass Christian remains in the championship hunt and will look to carry its offensive momentum into the next stage of the postseason.
