MAIS District 3-A: Tallulah Academy at Amite School, Friday at 7 p.m.

Records: Amite (0-4, 0-2 District 3-A); Tallulah Academy (2-3, 0-3)

Tallulah: A three-game losing streak — all against teams with better records within the district — has put the Trojans’ playoff hopes on life support. They’re 21⁄2 games behind Glenbrook for the fourth and final playoff berth in District 3-A, with a game against the Apaches looming next week. Tallulah will likely need to win its last four district games to have any chance at the postseason.
