The rematch of last year’s Class 5A state championship was as competitive as the title game, and the results were almost the same.

The two teams played to a scoreless tie, although the game did not go into overtime like the championship game.

Last season, Vicksburg scored a goal late in the game for a 1-0 win and its fifth state championship.
