USM is hosting with a sweep this weekend, no doubt about it. And they may have a chance for a Top 8 seed if they can do that and then go and win the conference tourney, IMO. I do think USM gets the sweep, and Coastal drops at least one game, so USM would be either an outright or co-champ of the Sun Belt. Ole Miss-Bama is a true toss up in my eyes, I think those are two very similar teams. I guess i give the slight edge to Bama at home, but a OM series win would be the farthest thing from a surprise. The starting pitching all weekend should be really impressive. Going to come down to who makes the fewest mistakes. I’ve been pretty pessimistic with my State series predictions in recent weeks, I think I even picked them to lose the LSU series lol. But I actually have had my eyes on this series for a little while as one I liked State’s chances in. A&M’s pitching is not on the level of the teams State has struggled to beat, and they are also coming in a little banged up in their position player group. I think State has a chance to get the offense going in a big way, and I think they have the better pitching of the two teams. State wins 2 and locks up a host, with a Top 8 seed TBD in Hoover.

Rumored but you have Kosciusko separate from Attala County Schools. I don’t see it happening other than the superintendent offices combining to save money.

Nice. Is it true that all of Attala County will soon combine?

USM seems to be taking care of business here late in the season. You cannot control the schedule with respect to how your opponents perform. Ole Miss-Bama is a huge series as well. I like Ole Miss to win two of three. Bama is good but I think their ranking/RPI is higher than the team is actually on the field. They have lost 17 games so they are not unbeatable at all. And then it goes without saying that State@A&M is another big series. Most likely will be a 2-1 series and represents a great opportunity for State to steal one on the road where we have surprisingly played better in the conference this season. State was 7-8 at home in the conference which is befuddling at best. Who says the regular season does not count… Georgia-Auburn should be really good as well!

Looks like Velma won 21-6

Anybody hear how Velma Jackson and Tylertown turned out?

They should be pretty good next season

Collins 7-7 vs St. Stan after time expired St. Stan kicker was allowed to kick a FG since it just a spring game. Collins 0-7 vs Copiah Academy finished the game with JV and Collins 0-14 Copiah Academy.

From the Leake County School District Facebook Page: Special thanks to our students for helping rename our schools! Leake Central High School is now Leake High School, and Leake Central Junior High is now Leake Middle School.

Magee beat Lawrence county 14-0 I was told

BIG Louisville - 20 Winona - 0

So miss better sweep. They are playing the worse team in the conference

State is almost a lock to host at this point... MAYBE be a high 2 seed and missing out IF they get swept next weekend but I still think they'd host. Ole Miss staying in the hosting discussion helps MSU a lot, I don't see any scenario where Ole Miss hosts while MSU doesn't when MSU is 4-0 head to head this season and has (worst case scenario) basically the same record as Ole Miss. Being a top 8 is still on the table... definitely have to win the next series if not sweep to get it. Ole Miss is back in the hosting discussion... most likely needs to win the series next weekend to get a host bid... I don't think 1 more win will get it. Of course, a deep SECT run by either team will help the chances if the above doesn't pan it... it's much nicer to already be basically locked in before the SECT. IF the season ended today, I'd bet on MSU and USM hosting with Ole Miss as a 2 seed at USM. I'm not sure the NCAA will award all 3 a host bid unless it's just too obvious all 3 earned it. IF next weekend ends with MSU winning 1, Ole Miss winning 2, and USM losing 2... it's MSU/Ole Miss hosting while USM falls to a 2 seed at Oxford or Starkville... likely Oxford. I hope all 3 sweep next weekend and all 3 host for the first time in the same year... great exposure for the state.

If you wanna see a spring game that may be played like a regular season game, head to Heidelberg Friday night. They playing Hattiesburg

Dont know the scores but I believe SSC beat Collins and Copiah Academy beat Collins

It’s a weird State team because they are still very much in the hosting mix, not totally dead from a Top 8 standpoint, but when they play these upper teams in the league they have felt like they don’t stack up super well. One of those things where you just gotta hope McPherson can get healthier in time for the Regional and hope the team gets hot at the right time. Oak’s postseason track record says a deep run is still very much on the table. But this team has now lost more SEC series than it’s won, so if you told me they didn’t make it out of a Regional I wouldn’t really be surprised either.

I said before the season I did not think we were a top five/ten team. Much improved over last year and a top twenty/fifteen perhaps team, for sure. We are capable of beating any team in the country in a given game but we are not consistent enough to win a series against the top tier teams. All that to say I am still excited about this team and look forward to playing at A&M and seeing how we fare against them. Realistically one win is probably what we will get but two would sure be nice. After that we will see how it goes.

Southeast Lauderdale 14-8 over Philadelphia

Kemper county 18-6 over Choctaw central

State gets run ruled. Probably kills any Top 8 seed hopes barring a sweep of A&M. And not totally safe from a hosting perspective, still likely need another win or two between next weekend and Hoover.

HR derby going on in Oxford

Pure academy 16-8 over East Marion

Auburn has used two of their big relievers in extended innings both of the first two games. Sanders specifically that threw last night has been their top bullpen guy. But they’ve got some other options. And their Sunday starter is a good one. I presume everyone except for Miller and Davis can go for State. Through two games I have felt like State is the better team between these two, but Auburn does the little things well and are very good in their own right. This is an important game for both sides, probably moreso for State though. Really need another signature series win besides just Ole Miss.

Saw a Facebook post that said D’iberville beat South Pike 21-0. That was all the games played yesterday. Haven’t heard how Morton did against BC Rain Thursday, and also Stone and West Harrison
