Here's another question who will have the bigger bounce back this friday Ocean Springs,Picayune or West Jones ? All are going up against teams that they will have to show up this week to beat.

You know SP with the new coach doesn't want to go 0-2.

It's a few weeks away but I think it was you I told the other day , it may have been someone else, but I expect Petal to give Gulfport grief. If Marcus has a QB that is careful throwing it and a receiver with decent hands he will scheme him open. People can get offended but Coach Boyles has left three , maybe more , titles on the table over there jacking around with Petal. They will never do anything in football but watch other schools and be jealous. I asked because Pascagoula has a chance this Friday to show everyone that things are going to be different with the new coach.

Came from one of the nations top high school football programs. ( Valdosta High School).

It is at Petal. Petal Hattiesburg and Oak Grove all play at home on a rotating basis so no team will get to host both games. This season it is Petal at HHS. HHS at Oak Grove and Oak Grove at Petal.

He’s a really good coach

I think Biloxi for sure. Moss Point is in shambles so not a challenge at all for Goula. Goula would be better off picking up a more quality opponent in the future. No longer the rivalry it used to be

If I'm not mistaken lacey is only 31 or 32. He had a birthday not too long ago but yes it's his first hc job.

There was an article on south ms sports that the game last Friday between Goula/Moss Point might be the last one played for a while, possibly forever

It's not that bad when I watch. I mean, yeah it's lower for those two guys but not unwatchable by any means.

Biloxi and it is not even close. Holmes County is typically always extremely talented and a good team. Moss Point is abysmal across their lines and I do not see that changing over the year. I was told they have about 30 kids total out playing football right now and their starting RB could be out a while. He took a big hit vs. Hattiesburg and was carted off the field after a hit this past Friday vs. Pascagoula.

Petal is an average team with above average coaching. They have a few good players but a hall of fame head coach that makes really good in game adjustments. Oak Grove is loaded with talent again but so was Hattiesburg. I’m going to add this as well I really like Coach Lacey at Hattiesburg. Slick and I were discussing him Saturday it’s hard to believe that’s his first head job I believe I’m correct on that. back to your OG/ Petal question where is the game this year? If at Petal I’ll take Petal

I would have to say Biloxi last week. Holmes County ALWAYS has mega talent and they consistently do nothing with it! Now that is my uneducated opinion because I know nothing on Moss Point but I know Holmes County has several D1's

Better win Pascagoula or Biloxi ?

Special teams did as well. 2 snaps over punter head gave them the ball at the 10yd and 1yd line. The punter should have kicked it out of end zone for a safety

I’m confused because based off what I read here the last few weeks I expected WJ to boat race Laurel. I thought Hattiesburg looked good and they clearly benefited from all those transfer additions. The usual lack of discipline got in the way.

You are 100% spot on sir. Raleigh O line was not the same talent level of last year's state championship team. Definitely rebuilding for Raleigh. they'll be ok in division IMO.

This thing's impossible to watch. The Warren Central guy and the Germantown guy have their microphones muted.

Setting up a running thread for the season to drop the weekly episodes of the Varsity Voices podcast (State Championships Radio Network). They do two shows a week throughout the high school football season: Sunday Night / Monday Morning: Full weekend recap of Friday night action across the state. Mid-Week (Wednesday): Game previews, key matchups, and storylines for the upcoming week. Since these are recorded live, I’ll post the links in this thread as soon as they drop each week. Week 1 Recap:

A convincing win would be nice. But I am expecting a 48min slugfest.

If we would have been able to go blow for blow with Gulfport and lose it at the end I wouldn't be too concerned, but that did not happen at all. Picayune needs some self reflection this week.

I am going to have to disagree with you there. 2 of d'Iberville's defensive linemen from last season are currently on Division 1 football rosters. The other is on a JUCO roster. They have an entirely new group on the defensive line with two of them being 10th graders. I am in no way saying they are bad or not good, because I think they are. But to make the statement they are much better on the lines than last year is just not true defensively.

Bottom line is D'Iberville lines are much better than last year and Raleigh is reloading on both lines.

Several picked them to miss the playoffs as it was. The ones who picked them higher and ranked them where they did preseason was primarily due to history.

Realistically, OS may go into district play 0-4 based on what I saw last week. If that happens , I don't think they can right the ship.
