OG is really good when they’re locked in and capable of beating most teams. But they’re not dominant like I thought they’d be. It’s possible.

South 6A is for sure “down” bathe prior 3 years. Not a one is “complete”. Hattiesburg’s offense seems to struggle, not unexpected with a new line, and the defense seems to be good but not as good as their prior 2. West Jones has an elite offense that has gone to sleep for an entire half in 2 games where they didn’t need to. But their defense is absolutely sad. They havnt given up this many points per game since the turn of the century. I don’t know enough about region 4 teams to comment. No one beating Warren Central in 6A regardless.

I agree. Laurel only has one more win on their schedule in my opinion-North Pike

There’s a really really good chance Natchez actually knocks off Laurel. As well as South jones and sumrall.

Terry had the real good rb from ridgeland last year transfer to them. He could work out the west defense which still is a massive issue. West offense should not have any problems moving the ball however.

It’s supposed to only be if 35 point lead at halftime. But coaches can talk about it either way officials pre-game and decide to go it earlier if one team gets a 35 point lead. I think that is what happened with Laurel and Brookhaven. Thst game is on YouTube. Brookhaven took opening kick to the house. Laurel then fumbled vall away their first offensive snap on their own 15. Then their 2nd possession it took 2 snaps to fumble. After 3 and out on their third Brookhaven scored in 1 play. Brookhaven was up 28-0 with less than 5 minutes off the clock and ran 5 offensive plays.

I have Germantown at 2 if they lose to Oxford

I forgot about Germantown in that division they got Oxford Friday that a toss up game and that game at Germantown and Germantown might win at home and go up 2-0 in 1st place, somebody going to miss the playoffs

They aren’t better than Heidelberg, but they could at least definitely frustrate Heidelberg. They will meet up in the 3rd round

East Marion wasn’t getting preseason respect. They are now. I was big on them from the very beginning. They are now on a collision course with Heidelberg in the 3rd round.

Russell is beginning to do what I thought he would do there. Thrive.

So do you think there will be as much movement as we initially thought or less now that the multiplier isn't being applied? I'm still intrigued to see what the baseling numbers are with so many schools reporting being down in numbers.

About 7 to 10 days as I remember in the past. Here is what complicates that this year: September 21st turn numbers in September 28th last day to correct numbers We wait on MDE variafication of numbers October 5th many schools on fall break October 12th other schools on fall break I think the schools were given a week to basically correct their numbers without protesting the numbers then go on fall break and not worry about it. So hopefully the only protest should be on regions. I think most schools are basically be in the same class same region. There will be a few go north or south that won't like it. There will be a few that won't like the region but will look at it like this is an easier region to win or this is a harder region but a hard schedule makes you better for the playoffs. I will not be surprised if they try to separate some of the schools in Region 4-3A and Region 6-3A to give others an opportunity for making the playoffs the next 2 years like say an Aberdeen or McLaurin. Sending Winona to Region 3 or JDC/Seminary to region 8 for example. I do believe they know their classes but not sure about the Regions just yet. However when you insert numbers into a computer it can spit that list out relatively quick. Hopefully it can separate by region and the director can correct or adjust regions as he sees fit. Then they do know what region they are in by now with instructions to not leak. Not leaking is hard enough because all coaches want to know for the sport they coach. Wait and see mode.

Germantown literally just beat Starkville.

Elko's issue is that Marcel has been exposed.

They do allow a period to where lets say a school could dispute which region they are placed in ETC. Some of this si the period from the Oct 15 meeting to the Nov 4 meeting.

so where do you have germantown?

When HCA was playing at Leetown during their inaugural season, they didn’t even have goalposts. So no field goals and no extra points.

Colmer Middle didn’t have a 7th grade kicker so they just spotted the ball. Every other team so far has done kickoffs. None of them attempt 1 point PAT’s, so they all go for two which I personally like. Also, none of them punt the ball either. If a team elects to punt, the officials just mark it off.

They have athletes that don’t mind getting dirty. I’d love to see them vs Heidelberg

Those are department of education meetings not MHSAA meetings. We can assume those will be soon scheduled after MDE approves the numbers. I don't know if those numbers have to be approved at a meeting or they can simply approved and returned to MHSAA.

Starkville, MC or Oxford going to finish, Starkville, Oxford play last game of the regular season at Starkville, that will tell us who will probably get 2nd, 3rd

There is a few maybe 5 that could go up and 5 that can go down. A few that could be in one region or another. In the past Raleigh has been in 3A Region 5 for years, then changed to Region 8 and have been in Region 6 the last 20 years or so.
