Yes, they have them and are basically waiting on the oct 15 meeting and then the nov 4 meeting. Some basically know which region and class, etc already but are waiting for it to be made official. I assume things will be revealed soon after this time.

To my knowledge only the schools, AD's, principal, and MHSAA has the numbers.

first in region 2

Where do you think Germantown will end up?

That’s pretty how much how all junior high and JV games are. But each team can elect to do special teams if they choose

Hernando is a quality team and will probably finish 2nd to Tupelo in region. However, I'm not sure they can defeat whoever the region 2-#3 team they'll face in the first round. just my thoughts.

JV is supposed to do them according to MHSAA rules but most coaches don't do them in JV games. Our junior high on the coast do them all

From whatever part of the state you are reading this, in your JV and Jr High games do you have kickoffs punts PAT's or FG"s attempted? Here in the Pine Belt all they do is start the game on the 20yd line. And if its 4th down the officials give them team a 30yd punt if they dont go for it. And if a teams scores a TD they go for two. For some reason that bothers me. Because our special teams is not the strongest and I believe it would be better if they started doing it before they reached varsity level.

In the land of the blind the one eyed man is King * First off I’m not one to pump WC football in this column. Saying that ,I have to because it is warranted, There are several coaches around that were assts under Coach Boyles. Collums at MC , Reynolds wherever he’s bounced around to and Breland to name a few.The closest I had seen to meeting that mark was Breland at Laurel with a passing game. As close as it was to it he still couldn’t consistently get the rushing part of it down. There are other former players coaching although I’m not sure where they are. The one at WC has it down. What he is putting out there is the Boyles offense You have to cover the whole field against him and he knows how to scheme speace where the play is going. He knows how to put together a QB too. People forget this was a wing offense six months ago. He proves it more every week. *I saw it New worm in old ground Did anyone see Germantown being a legitimate threat to win that region three weeks ago ? Them beating Starkville looks like a winner take all this Friday when they host Oxford. Whatever the result their coach has had them on an upward trend since he got there . If he stays there I could see them in the title game in the next several years. Will they beat Oxford ? Of course they will have to play MC . Who would you take if they played today ? Speaking of MC to me they can’t seem to get it together under Toby . Since they were in the title game they can’t stop stumbling in the playoffs. Tupelo has had something to do with that but last season getting bounced by Horn Lake is not a good sign. This season isn’t looking much better. Is the shine wearing off and the clock ticking on a change ? More than anyone they seem to be negatively impacted by the rise of private school athletics in their area. Groundhog Day isn’t just a day on the calendar with a name Hattiesburg represented the south last year in the title game. I don’t think Hattiesburg is as good as they were last year. I also think they very easily could go back to the title game. That leaves me with this thought no one in the south in 6A is as good as Hattiesburg was last season. If there is, I would like someone to show me where. Hancock, PRC, West Jones, Terry, all look about the same as they did last season. I don’t think Pascagoula is nearly as good. All any of that means is someone out of that pack is gonna go to the title game. Which one has the most upside going forward? I left out George County because I don’t think they’ll ever be good again. It has to be a problem coming from the district office . Alert - cross all the way until you reach the big river and you will encounter a mirage Natchez. Undefeated and ranked by some people Laurel will get to pass back through Brookhaven and maybe pick up certain body parts that got taken from them last Thursday. Which I think that’s not really fair of them having to make that long trip two weeks in a row if I was a coach, I would’ve never agreed to that schedule. Nevertheless, it’s a region game and I think Laurel gets off the mat and makes that old familiar doubt that Natchez always seems to carry around with them like a backpack come creeping back. Coach Earnest is already medium rare on the cooking scale. He loses this game and you can say hello to new Laurel coach Daryl Carter. That’s who they want. If he won’t come would they just promote Corey Reynolds? I think coach Earnest would blossom again in less stale surroundings. It’s too bad he didn’t wind up in some place like Pascagoula Going with that line of thinking how does someone justify ranking South Jones as being in the upper echelon of 5A ? There was need for trap games and a loser is out of the playoffs part but I don’t have time to look it up. Someone else start it. Leaves are turning and it will soon be time for the one game season. Have a good week MST.

I believe WJ takes this between 17-21 pts. Terry does not seem to be as strong as last season but are surely respectable. In fact no one in 6a south seems to be as strong as last season. Hattiesburg could easily be at 2-4 right now. West Jones has two wins that could have been losses vs Wayne Co and George Co and Picayune could have lost vs Biloxi. I could see a south state final between two teams with 4 or more losses.

Do we have any solid number on the schools in question for 3 and 4A?

Before the bands are on the field warming up for halftime....

Waiting on MDE to variafy before emailing the list to the committee and schools.

For you north guys, what are your thoughts on Hernando? Is the season they are having a pleasant surprise?

You would certainly think a win here would do that, with the games left to play. Terry has always gave West Jones a pretty hard game. We are 4-0 in the last 3 years though, with about a 10 point average margin of victory. The smallest margin was 2 and the largest was 17. I don't expect this to be cake walk easy, and hopefully WJ will execute like they did in the 2nd half last week vs George County, as opposed to what they did in the 1st half.

It's still a crap shoot as to where these cutoff lines end up. I suspect they have a good idea but won't reveal anything one way or the other until at least the first week of November.

A 35 pt lead is not only in the 2nd half. Brookhaven had the hot clock on Laurel after one period. And Hattiesburg had the hot clock on Jim Hill midway thru the 2nd. Speaking of a hot clock, it never stops after you get a 35pt lead. But could you imagine if a team trailing by that much somehow cut it to a 7pt game and the clock kept running with you on offense running out of bounds or throwing incomplete passes.

I definitely agree with East Marion. They have been killing teams. They must be loaded

I forgot they won 6A last year, naw they not under the radar

They are not under any radar at all if anyone who has actually paid any attention for more than the last couple weeks.

With running clock after 35 point lead in 2nd half which does incentivize some to run it up early, they may as well move the 12 point max tie breaker points out to like 24 or more.

Mendenhall & East Marion

I think +/-10

November

when you think they going to release the new Reclassification for next year?
