You know if you really break it down I think Ethel has a better chance than people might expect. Ethel only gives up around 11-12 ppg, where Stringer is 1-3 this season when they score under 30 points. Ethel has held an 8-2 Eupora team to 14 points, and a banged up Nanih Waiya to only 6 points. Although Ethel has experienced offensive struggles most of the year, I think they could pull it off at home assuming their defense can match Stringer’s offensive physicality.

Ole Miss was very MID in the first half, played very well the second half. I’m curious where the CFP committee puts Ole Miss Tuesday… 11 or 12 is my guess?

OM beats Auburn comfortably in a game that was a lot like what most expected it to be.

Houston, Greenwood might not be a low score game it might be a shootout type of game

Rosa Fort play New Albany, Rosa fort don't play Amory

Meridian going to surprise some people in the Playoff, upset somebody

Dang hate to hear that.

3 regions in the Tupelo to Columbus area and 10 or 12 non football schools is one reason.

I have asked and gotten no answer. In the past they had a week to protest classification, then a week to protest regions. Think the first part is past. The second part if its 7 days should be Monday afternoon at the earliest. I don't expect protest unless a Region 7 2A school is sent to Region 8 or 6. Maybe in 3A Seminary or JDC doesn't get what they desire.

why are there so many more 1A schools in the north than south that Simmons has to go play in the south.?

I agree with this statement. For Ethel this is pretty impressive. I don't think they will beat Stringer in the 2nd round but, I think they will at least get to play them.

probably no later than thursday

We will know this coming week.

Well it feels good to be relevant again. Just goes to show that coaching matters. We still have talent here. Yes there are challenges with these players but they know the history of this program. Coach Vance has embraced that tradition and the older fans/former players are supporting the team again. Attendance has grown from 500 fans a game to 5,000 per game and I suspect we will see the biggest crowd at Ray Stadium in at least 10 years. Best of all our kids are having fun playing football.

Ethel upset Nanih Waiya and won a district title for the first time since 1995. They also have not won a playoff game since 1991, but that should change when they play West Lincoln next Friday. For a program with a 36% all time winning percentage, this has been a great year for them. Definitely wouldn’t be considered “historic” for the blue blood programs in the state, but in comparison to their recent history, this has been a great year for them.

Yea and both teams going home next Friday and crying back on their bus

What's "historic" about Ethel this season?

2 bad teams fighting like crazy

good explanation on the north 1A

With the regular season coming to a close and playoffs beginning, 1A football appears to have two clear projected favorites to make an appearance in Starkville. Leflore County would be my clear favorite for the North representative, and Simmons would be my pick from the south. While both teams seem to be the clear powers in their respective geographical regions (even though both teams are from the Delta but split between North and South), here are a few questions to discuss regarding possible shakeups we could see occur in the coming weeks to impact these projections: 1. Will Tupelo Christian’s strength of schedule catch up to them, or do they have what it takes to compete with Calhoun City and Leflore County down the stretch? 2. Is Lumberton at home good enough to scare Simmons and potentially send them home early assuming both teams meet in the 3rd round? 3. Can Junior Graham’s Ethel Tigers make a run to the South State championship, or will Stringer or South Delta end their historic season prior?

I thought Moss Point would get the 4th seed in that division because they beat Bay but Bay beat Forrest County which i think gave them the nod to get the 4th seed in region 8! 7 classes makes things like that happen like Northeast Lauderdale has only 1 win and they’re making the playoffs because its only 4 teams in that district which is region 5

Yeah i agree Houston and Greenwood evenly matched but i like GWood to seal the deal in the final few minutes of that game! I picked New Albany because they seem to know how to get out the first round! Neither team has played great toward the end of the season but i like New Albany to pull through

Geeze. How'd Bay make the playoffs? AH... Seven classes

Houston and Greenwood is a sneaky 1st rd match up and they matchup even well, both teams got speed and athletes. I not sure about New Albany way they played Corinth if they don't play better against Rosa Fort New Albany will get upset at home
