SUMMARY: The Gautier Gators (1-1) are set to host the Pascagoula Panthers (2-0) for the 24th Singing River Classic on Friday. These teams, separated by the Pascagoula River, have a long-standing rivalry that began in 2002 after the Gautier school was established. Historically, the Gators dominated early matchups but experienced a “Decade of Dominance” from 2010 due to Pascagoula’s success. Recent years have seen Gautier’s resurgence, winning the last three encounters, including a narrow victory last season. Pascagoula leads the series 13-9, with both teams having made playoff appearances in recent seasons.
