Think 63-20. Impressive

What is Poplarville’s in that span also? They have a consistent program

That's nearly identical to Picayune's record since 2020. Picayune is 68-13 since 2020.

Wow!

When's he supposed to get a drink of water? Maybe he can sneak some in between possession changes, quarter changes, and timeouts LOL.

Sidebar Vance should never take #6 McCoy off the field.

Agreed. We made a lot of mistakes last night and there is a lot to clean up with penalties and special teams. But improving that coming off a big win feels much better than a loss. Need to take care of business against Neshoba Central first and then get ready for Starkville. Starkville-OG will be a good match up to see where each stands.

There’s not a whole lot more to be added about the game last night. What I will say is they done a damn good job of protecting their quarterback. What I mean by that they didn’t put the game on his shoulders. Everything they asked him to do you could tell he had done it repetitively in practice. The only other thing is Vance‘s favorite cartoon coming up must have been the Thundercats because he shines when leading some type of felines. I didn’t mean for that to rhyme. It just came out that way.

69-13 since 2020. That's already more wins than any other decade in Raleigh history and that's only 6 years into the 2020s.

A lot of truth in that!

Laurel has a bunch of old bricks. Does that count? LOL

Gotta have the bricks to build anything..Raleigh usually has some solid ones.

Higdon has built a heck of a program!

I think Meridian will really know what they have when they play Starkville. OS looks pretty down at the moment . I will say even when they were rolling Boyles took Meridian to Ocean Springs and won a first round playoff game just a few seasons ago. Good win nonetheless

I think it will be really close. Raleigh is REALLY talented. and would compete in most classifications/divisions this year

Talent level definitely took a dip this year. This is probably the smallest class in a long, long time with only 7 seniors total. The junior and sophomore class have been really good through Middle School and 9th grade. Many expected us to be down and struggle some this year, but we have not looked this bad in 7-8 years.

Will D'Iberville even beat Raleigh tonight?

Meridian had way more athletes on the field than Oceans Springs. As what should be the case anyway. OS looked more like the OS I’m familiar with back in the day. Gulfport must be sucking all the remaining talent from over there.

You are correct. D'Iberville is the only region opponent to give Gpt a challenge. Biloxi has a ton of "new" faces but I still think they are 3rd at best in the division.

d'Iberville is most likely the team to be able to challenge Gulfport. Most knew OS would be "down" but not as down as they looked last night. d'Iberville has probably the best player in the region at Quarterback and some good players. I expected them to challenge OS for the 2 seed. However after last night, i expect it to be d'Iberville. I expect OS to still be a playoff team, but will be traveling in the 1st round.

What is the rest of that division going to look like? Everything I have seen has said that region is between OS and Gulfport.

Well done by Meridian. I'm 0-1 out the gate on paicks. Heard that OS would be bad this year but did not expect they'd be terrible. Wow .

Listening to the broadcast it sounded like OS was breaking in a lot of new young kids. Not sure how true that is but Meridian looks lightyears ahead of where they have been the past few years.

I can say that I do not think the Nolan Wells case was a big enough distraction to get beat like we did, but I can say it was somewhat of a distraction. His younger brother, Elmore is a starting wide receiver on the team and most of these kids played with Nolan. My son has said that is a pretty hot topic at school, at practice, in the weight room, etc. There has also been a pretty fair amount of division in the community as well. Again, I do not think it was something that aided in Ocean Springs looking bad like they did, but it has definitely been somewhat of a distraction. We graduated a ton of players last year, we had a pretty large amount of coaching turnover this off-season. We looked unathletic and slow on both sides of the ball. I am not sure what Coach Bramlett sees for us to focus on being a 4 wide, Air Raid style of offense, but hopefully after last night, he sees we are not good enough up front or athletic enough out wide to do so. The last two seasons, we have tried to implement a more open, pass heavy attack and both times, eventually transitioned back to what has been our calling card the past half decade - 11 and 12 personnel and running the football. Setting up the pass by leaning on folks and running the ball. We looked unprepared and frankly out coached. In every phase. Which is uncharacteristic of Coach Bramlett, he typically prides himself on the little things and being detailed. I do believe our kids came in a little confident thinking they could ride high because of how we beat Meridian last year and the Ocean Springs "name". Meridian came out and hit us hard in the mouth and we quite frankly folded. Hats off to them and Coach Vance. They were ready physically and mentally, where we were not. Yes we are young, and inexperienced but we were two years ago as well and we did not look this bad at any point. I am sure coach is going to regroup and rally the troops and correct some things. This team is talented enough to finish 2nd in the region, but the way we looked last night, we will not win a region game. Again, big congratulations to Tony Vance and Meridian. He catches a lot of lack for how he behaves on the sidelines at time, but he knows how to win and get kids to play hard for him.
