The second round of The Vicksburg Post’s Greatest on the Gridiron tournament saw another No. 1 seed fall and Vicksburg High take over the top half of the bracket.

Four of the eight teams remaining in the tournament to crown Warren County’s best high school football team of all-time are from VHS, and all of them reside in the Vikings and Gators regions.

The 1978 Vicksburg Gators knocked off top-seeded 1994 Warren Central, 64-57, for the closest victory among the eight second-round games. They advanced to the championship game of the Vikings Region against 2001 Vicksburg, which defeated 2006 Porter’s Chapel 81-22.

In the Gators Region, the No. 1 seed 1973 Vicksburg Gators beat 1993 Warren Central 95-47; and 1990 Vicksburg beat 1974 Warren Central 72-51 to set up another all-VHS regional final.

In the bottom half of the bracket, Rosa A. Temple teams from 1970 and 1966 will meet for a spot in the Final Four after both scored lopsided wins in the Flashes Region.

The 1970 Buccaneers beat 1993 Vicksburg 108-35, and 1966 Temple defeated 1979 Warren Central 102-52. The two Temple teams both received the most votes in online voting at vicksburgpost.com.

In the Eagles Region, 1981 St. Aloysius beat its 1958 predecessor 71-36, while 2005 Porter’s Chapel got some strong support in the last 24 hours of voting to beat 1984 Vicksburg 83-61. PCA trailed by 33 votes, but rallied on the final day to win easily.
