May need to start a new baseball thread. The portal haul from state look impressive when combined the the returning pitching.

Will the waiting list have to pay tuition to attend or are they in district?

Shouldn't it also be helping Richland

Their still moving out of South Jackson which helps Terry and Florence. I here Florence has a 500 family waiting list. If it's true Florence will be 7A someday. Maybe 6A if they move into the McLaurin zone. My guess is Jackson schools will continue to shrink in class not necessarily in number.

It's good he's going into administration. He got sprayed with loser spray by the human skunk Bubba Hathorne. Once it gets on you it's impossible to get it off

I still don't get why they didn't give the ball to that RB they had last year 30-35 time a game. He was going to get at least one first down every drive and they would stop giving it to him. All the while they would be falling behind on the scoreboard. Kid was a freaking animal running the football

Gandy has been making that drive awhile. He never moved he was waiting for some changes to come back home. He wanted the WC job but that didn’t work out. I’m glad he’s in administration he’s still touching kids lives everyday

Not really. Their fan support comes from the band. Hattiesburg played them last yr for senior night. What started out as a packed house turned into a light turnout after seniors were announced and a really really light turnout after halftime was over.

I’ve been hearing a lot about them the last few weeks. Hopefully their fan support has improved since the last time I paid Terry any attention

Frey doesn’t stay anywhere very long.

I think Lebby needs 6 wins to keep his seat cool. Pre season talk is chasing the wind. By week 5 Bama could be a winnable game and Mizzou could look like a force to be reckoned with. 3 SEC wins Is the goal, and a Bowl win just for the record: We got a chance to upset one of those titans (looking at you Bama), it may could secure him another 2 years. If we had Arnett and a 2nd team All-SEC DT last year I think we were a 8 win team. So weren’t as terrible as most people think. Just hope we get atleast half of the improvement we showed 2024 to 2025

Very good perspective.

The only "for sure" wins on the schedule are UL Monroe and Tennessee Tech. I don't think State is favored in any of the 10 remaining SEC/Power 4 games. In order for State to get to 6 regular season wins, they'll need 4 upsets at minimum. If there ever was a prime example of a head coach being in over his head, this is it.

Look out for Terry in 6A. They have loaded the wagon. Could make some noise.

wise career choice

The Wayne County newspaper posted an article that he was going back there as an assistant principal.

In all seriousness, I think Kamario Taylor is a great talent that could be a lot of fun if State can keep him standing upright. I’m less confident in State being able to keep him standing upright. I also think State’s schedule is insane. 9 SEC games plus a road game against an 8 win Big 10 team. I think State could win 5 to 7 games. But if you asked me if it’s more likely that they win 8 or that Lebby is fired, would say it’s way more likely that Lebby gets fired. i feel like you will know the drill by Week 4. State is at Minnesota, at South Carolina, Mizzou at home in weeks 2-4. Lebby is toast if he goes 0-3 in that stretch, and he probably needs to be 2-1 in those games considering the next four are Bama-LSU-Oklahoma-Texas all in a row (thanks for that, Birmingham).

Do we have to?

I read where they named a new head coach today, David Frey.

I'm glad you have that optimism. If they could win all 6 of those, I'd be thrilled.

Nevermind this apparently was an assistant. The article didn't read like that.

https://cdispatch.com/news/community-profile-caledonia-coach-hangs-up-whistle-after-25-years/ Who they gonna get?

State has a good amount of a winnable games. ULM, Minn, SC, Mizzou, Vandy, Auburn. Wouldn’t be surprised if they upset one of the powerhouses. 6 wins would be a good year

Can Golding win 7 or how about 8? Lebby might win 4 or 5? USM will hope for 3 wins and call it progress.
