The Corinth Warriors got a 105-yard interception return for a touchdown to put the finishing touches on a 19-0 win over Tishomingo County in area high school football action Friday.

After a scoreless first quarter, Corinth (2-2) put up nine points in the second on a safety and a 1-yard run by Parks Frazier. Jordan Parker’s PAT made it 9-0 at the break.

Parker added a 24-yard field goal in the third quarter, but it remained less than a two-touchdown lead.

Diante Curlee sealed the deal, however, grabbing a pass deep in the end zone and taking it the other way.

Kase Smith and Jordan Powell also scored touchdowns for the winners.

South Pontotoc (2-3) got on the board with a 52-yard run by Deonte Dillworth in the fourth quarter.

- Lafayette County 42, Center Hill 0: Jeremy Liggins scored on runs of 5 and 50 yards and connected with Jarius Baker for a 38-yard touchdown for the game’s first points as the Commodores (4-1) bounced back from last week’s defeat at IAHS.

- Mooreville 24, Alcorn Central 12: The visiting Troopers (4-1) took command of a 7-6 game with two touchdowns in the third quarter. Griff Loftis scored on a 1-yard run and Gary Johnson on a 5-yard run in the third quarter.
