Justin Hunter is well aware of how passionate Kosciusko fans are about their high school football. Shortly after being officially presented as the new Kosciusko High School head football coach Monday night, the 33-year-old said he was ready to embrace that atmosphere.
The Tigers and Lady Tigers of Ethel High School tipped off Region 5-1A play in fine fashion, with each team winning its first two district games last week.

The McAdams boys and girls basketball teams both split their first two Region 5-1A games, with losses to West Lowndes and victories over Noxapater.
The Kosciusko Lady Whippets returned to the hardwood on Saturday to participate in the Meridian Shootout Tournament.
The Lady Whippets showed a little rust early from their holiday layoff, but they ultimately defeated Kemper County, 48-39.
Kosciusko High School is inching closer toward naming its new head football coach.
The French Camp boys and girls basketball teams returned to action Tuesday following the Christmas break with games at Noxapater. It was the first Region 5-1A action of the season. The teams have region games at home Friday against Ethel.
