If I’m picking a sleeper this year, I’m gonna pick Collins. I think they could surprise some people. I think they finish 2nd in the district behind east Marion, but wouldn’t be totally shocked if they ended up winning the region. They always have good looking athletes. I still can’t believe they haven’t consolidated with Mount Olive yet.

Lol

They recruit for a reason. Their actual, local talent isn’t good enough. So they go recruit others.

If I’m petal I’m running it down Hattiesburg throat. They have proven to not be very physical at all the last 2 appearances in the SC game.

Grenada has now lost 5 starters to transfer and a kid that was going to get a lot of action at RB had to get a pacemaker put in and can no longer play football due to health. My understanding is the kid collapsed on the field this summer and had to have chest compressions done to save his life.

Oxford High School and Tupelo High School and honestly probably Jackson Academy and Hartfield Academy.

Who are some other teams you could also say that about?

If not for recruiting Hattiesburg would be a 7-8 win team last year and probably worse this coming season. I doubt tell ever gets past 1st round without it.

Hey guys, when will the master list with all the football schedules be released?

That’s not the case for Forest. Forest will have already played their first region game, and would have had Raymond the next week after Raleigh. They just chickened out. There’s no other explanation.

I don’t buy their reasoning either. They just didn’t want to play the game.

Not the case for 1a-4a. Region play will have already started October 2nd for those classifications. This game was supposed to be October 9th. Which I know that limits available teams. Because most people have district games October 9th. With 7 classifications and only 5 teams per district, unfortunately there are a lot of byes now because it’s so hard to find anybody without a district game the same week as you and willing to play.

You cant blame teams for wanting to have a week off before region play starts. Most 5a 6a 7a teams are off on the week of Oct 2.

I don’t think Forest has that problem either. They just don’t want to play. Never thought a day would come when teams are hesitant to play Raleigh but Forest sure dropped that game and they can’t find a replacement. Raleigh has reached out to several teams that also have a bye that week and all have declined. The crazy thing is that it was a good game last year. Forest is capable of winning that game this year but we will never know. It would’ve been a good money game for Forest too because Raleigh would’ve brought a great crowd. Oh well.

Looks about as solid of a list.

I never had that problem, but I guess kids these days are different

Pretty sure I picked Tville to beat Stringer last year. I said all year last year that Tville had a good starting 11, but not much depth. Last year it came down to Simmons and Tville. This year I think it’s Simmons and stringer

You didn’t think that last year either.

Very similar situation with Forest/Raleigh. Would’ve been home game for Forest. The Forest coaches are using the excuse of it being fall break week and trying to say it’s gonna be hard to get players to show up for practice.

Lamar called us and told us the MAIS was re-doing all the scheduling for private schools and were going to have to cancel our scheduled game. But then later on Lamar released their schedule, and had an open date on the week we were supposed to play them. I take that as they just didn’t want to play us. And it was going to be a home game for them.

I agree that who ever wins the region wins North

What happen to Lamar?

Those two games will be huge and I believe any one of those 3 teams could be pulled out of a hat to rep the North Half of the state. From a talent perspective it should be Winona.

It’s a very good list. I saw Nanih Waiya in the spring and Calhoun City. Calhoun City lost a ton from last year but they still have a lot of talent. They are very good at QB and WR as well as up front on offense. Defensively they aren’t as good especially at LB but they are very solid.
