The kid from fcahs been at Hattiesburg since December and he's been in hpsd most his life until recent years.... plus he didn't play in the spring. OAN: Plump received an offer from LSU today. Hburg will be just fine on both sides of the ball.

That leaves 203 schools: 6 Classes 5 Classes 6A 24. XX 5A 24. 32 4A 32. 32 3A 32. 40 2A 40. 48 1A 51. 51

The legislative committee met Thursday with discussion of consolidation of districts or schools due to lower enrollment. Their target is 27 known schools under 1,000 students in PreK thru 12th grades. An additional 7 schools just over 1,000 students. All i can say is good by Mt Olive among others. Anyone have names of those 34? It's obvious this will force MHSAA to go back to 5 or 6 classes? Or start recruiting schools!!

Boarding schools are doubled. I somehow want to say they are plenty of Choctaw around Philadelphia that many lived with parents.

There is a solid argument that it should. They are a boarding school, they don’t have a defined district and pull kids from all over.

Probably 5.

I don’t think Choctaw central will be affected.

Hattiesburg is 100% one of the biggest recruiting schools in the MHSAA, at least in the South. Heidelberg also does a lot of recruiting from Quitman and Waynesboro. Maybe the new wayne county coach will put a stop to it. Until the mhsaa grows a sack and does something to stop it, these schools are going to keep doing it too. It’s pretty much open season. But the kid from Brandon was definitely legit, that wasn’t a recruiting deal.

I know. I’m just giving yall a hard time in this slow season. There’s another from NW rankin that’s a basketball player also that yall trying to get. A lot of kids all over the state go to various camps and get in text/message groups either each other through various apps and such. And some are actively using this to convince others to come join them x team and what not. Particularly if one of the other kids have family in an area. Some coaches get them as well. This is also partly why some kids parade they are moving on social media like the college kids do. MHSAA is aware and won’t or can’t do anything about it unless a coach complains. And even then MHSAA is limited. Most coaches do not want to hold kids back that do not want to play for them. Only coaches who are butthurt at the kid or the school they are going too will say anything. And in almost every case if kids parents or school district take things to court against mhsaa if they stop a kid then judge almost always rules against mhsaa as they have no legal authority. This is why many trying to get senate to pass laws and possibly reformat the mhsaa.

The kid from Brandon is coming because his father was named the head baseball coach at Hattiesburg.

money talks each and every time.

Looks like Hattiesburg’s poor performance at WR in the spring game convinced them to go recruit some wr’s to transfer in. 6’3 kid from fcahs and a kid from Brandon

I haven't heard them mentioned. Are they really included in this?

So what’s the odds that this applies to Choctaw Central since they are considered private and a boarding school…I think we all know the answer to this question.

Will Elliott go 6 plus tonite?

Wayne Co and Natchez will love seeing that they may possibly in the same region. Enjoy that weeknight volleyball basketball baseball road trip.

That's correct unless they are 8 on the coast. Never mind projections are; Region 3: South Jones, Wayne County, Natchez, Florence, Laurel, Brookhaven, North Pike Region 4: Gautier, Stone County, Vancleave, East Central, St Patrick

They have done it in the past Some teams it will next to impossible for them to compete. St. Pats wouldn't be able to compete in 5A outside of soccer. Resurrection almost didn't have enough kids to finish football in 1A shifting to 2A will be tough for them too. With the new 5/7 setup they may not have to shift to Region 3.

Playing independent in football would be a nightmare scheduling wise. After September 99% of teams are playing region games. And who would want to play independently knowing that before the season that you have no shot at competing for a playoff spot?

St Patrick's number for October 2025 US News and World Report for October 2025 makes them likely 5A. Travel the coast it will be unless they go Region 3. Region 3 will send them to Natchez and Brookhaven travel it is. The deadline to move to MAIS may be past if the current reclassification runs thru 2027.

Supposedly a few are saying they will go independent to give them more time.

I tend to agree, but travel could be an issue for some of them if they go MAIS. Tupelo Christian, St Patrick, and Resurrection don’t have many MAIS options that wouldn’t involve significantly more travel. I’ll be curious how this plays out.
