With a playoff berth essentially on the line for sixteenth ranked Northeast, the Tigers dropped a 28-18 heart breaker to arch rival Itawamba on Thursday night at Tiger Stadium.
Northeast (6-2, 4-2) entered the match-up knowing a win would clinch the North Division number two spot and a playoff berth for the Tigers, but Itawamba (4-4, 4-1) took advantage of four turnovers to pull off the upset and kept the playoff scenario still up in the air.
