Myrtle has a very physical offense and is slowly passing the ball more.

Auburn at Ole Miss - OM is a 12.5 point home favorite. Auburn has the best road win in the sport so far, but has been super underwhelming otherwise. I honestly don’t think OM has a ton of issues in this one, especially in Oxford. I don’t think Auburn can score enough to keep up. I have OM winning 37-21. State at Texas - life after Kamario (for this season at least) officially begins. A lot of rumblings AJ Swann might get the start at QB. I don’t see it making much of a difference though. Texas should win this easily, something like 38-7. The following two weeks are far more important games for State and for Lebby, IMO. Florida vs Georgia - game being played in Atlanta this season due to construction in Jacksonville. I don’t think Georgia is losing again in the regular season, and I think they win this by about 14. South Carolina at Oklahoma - Shane Beamer is a cat with 9 lives and he’s used 7 or 8 of them. I’m taking SC in this one. I think they are figuring it out at the right time and now their schedule lines up pretty nicely the rest of the way for them to get to 7 or 8 wins. I also think Oklahoma stinks. Mizzou at Arkansas - Look at Arkansas with their 3 wins! Unfortunately I don’t think any more are coming this season. USM at ULM - Eagles get their second win in a row. Maybe the tide is starting to turn for them just a little bit.

Every region is north with 5 schools is not possible with 7 classes.

Maybe Kosciusko to Region 4 and West Lauderdale to Region 5. 3A and 4A has less teams in the Delta and more teams on the east side of the state.

And don't need this go for two after like the third OT like Auburn and Bama did a few years back.

I agree but sometimes change happens. Maybe like college after the first OT you have to go for two.

Back to the drawing board on this one. North needs work. You have schools 150 miles apart in the same region. Kosciusko’s region opponents would be 70, 100, 105, & 127 miles.

Hatley goes to Region 4 but which school is closer to Mantatchie and East Union to get 4 football schools in Region 1 Bruce or Vardaman.

MHSAA Week 10 Preview from the Varsity Voices Podcast. Playoff seedings are on the line as 1A-4A wrap up the regular season. Premier Game of the Week is D'Iberville vs Gulfport Some big rivalry games this week in the Battle for the Golden Chicken and The Maroon Bowl. AND there is absolute madness in Region 5-1A

MS Palmer to Region 3 I was learning in that direction.

Disrespect nej all you want. They bring it on themselves. Did you see their preseason dance video?

If it were impossible then OT games from weeks ago would still be going on right now. Score and get a stop or get a stop and go score. That's the formula. OT games are exciting for everyone involved but someone has to win. Leave the rules alone. Backing the ball up to the 20 or 25 would drag these games out even more. OT should be about getting the game resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Nothing in OT starts at the 35. College starts at the 25yd line. High school starts at the 10yd line

My prediction for the North Region 1 Region 2 Region 3 Region 4 New Site Non Football Byers Edwards East Webster Baldwyn Bruce Northside Eupora Mantachie Strayhorn Charleston Aberdeen East Union Water Valley Riverside Hatley Myrtle Vardaman Palmer Kemper

Not smart to break up Aberdeen and Hatley. Also, MS Palmer doesn't fit with your projection. IMHO

High School Football is NOT college football. Don't mess with it. Not broken. IMHO

Lake should go to region 6. It’s plausible that Lake go to region 5 and Philadelphia goes to region 6, but it’s shorter travel distances for everyone if Lake is in region 6 and Philly is in region 5. Not to mention if you have a district of Enterprise, Philadelphia, Bay Springs, Heidelberg, and Newton that would be a horrible baseball region. Adding Lake to that region instead of Philadelphia would at least give you two good teams for baseball.

Maybe Region 5 Philadelphia Newton Bay Springs Heidelberg Enterprise Clarke Region 6 Mize Lake Scott Central Pelahatchie Puckett However they seem to want Region 5 current in 3A/2A align with Region 5. That would be Philadelphia, Newton, Lake, Scott Central, and Pelahatchie. Region 6 would be Puckett, Mize, Bay Springs, Heidelberg, Enterprise Clarke. Region 8 with 4 schools.

Lake is staying 2A by less than 5 students.

Ole Miss proved this theory wrong last week.

State is in a better NIL and overall program situation than it was in 2023. Lebby gets some credit for that, certainly, but at the end of the day you’ve gotta win games, too. It’s a moot point if they get to 6 or 7 wins this year, so I hope that’s what happens. But if at the end of the year you’re talking about a guy who has gone 2-10, 5-7, 5-7 in the transfer portal era….. Do I think State could find someone that could do better than that? Yes, I do.

Philadelphia will have no place to go but to region 5. That will have to be the region that has 4 teams. Philly, Scott central, puckett, and pelahatchie
