I can see Tennessee Tech hanging with the Bulldogs. FCS or not 9-1 is pretty good

I think week 4 actually. Could be wrong

Leave school at noon.

and that don't include stopping for a good pre game meal

Yes if your region 5 #3/#4 seeds in all sports to the northern most part of the state for a playoff game.

this show how much Neaves and crew fold for the big boys from tupelo and oxford. they could have done something similar in north 3A and north 4A but nope. Just pay the fuel costs and ride them buses as long as the mhsaa makes ca$h by playoff time. and don't get me started on the mhsaa basically collecting a fine to stream playoff games

that would be roughly 3.5 hours on a yella bus

Also, if you are not familiar of how homefield advantage goes, If the no.1 seeds in region 2 and 4 gets put out before south state the no. 1 seeds from regions 1 and 3 would have homefield advantage.

Newton County has apparently dropped both.

Week 2 or week 5

Raleigh and Mize are playing

I think State’s administration absolutely does not want to make a change and they’ve given Lebby every ounce of patience they possibly can. But it gets harder with every humiliating loss. I think they believed we would beat Vandy and maybe Auburn and it would become a non issue. Then the first half on Saturday happened and I think Lebby totally lost any remaining support he had at that point. I just don’t think there’s another school in the conference that would run it back for Year 4 with a coach that’s probably going to have a 3-22 SEC record after Black Friday. To me, State retaining him would be an admission to the fans that you shouldn’t have any kind of high hopes or expectations as a State fan, and that subpar results are acceptable. So if that’s the case, no one should be surprised when attendance remains terrible and they have a brutal time selling season tickets or getting NIL donations as long as Lebby is here.

You can't do that because this is referring to two 1 seeds from different regions. MHSAA takes turns with it just like how they take turns with the home and away teams at the state championships. This year it's the North's turn to be the home team. Next year it will be the South's turn.

Hazlehurst weeks 1 Home, 2 Home or Away, 5 Home Franklin County week 4 Caledonia reposted weeks 4 and 6 Stringer weeks 2 and 8 Newton County week 2 No Raleigh and week 5 no Mize

Your open week 5 now September 24th.

Interesting that it wouldn’t be a “head to head” type comparison situation for common opponents to determine who has earned the right to play at home. I get that’s not possible in years & all situations. But where it is possible, it’s interesting that the common opponents head-to-head metric is not used.

Hilarious. They’ve made Oxford and Tupelo trade out traveling in R1/R2 for YEARS. And now that it’s the R4 schools affected, suddenly it’s time to ignore equality in regions and let people “stay close to home”

In 5a 6a 7a Regions 2 and 4 have homefield advantage all the way thru south state this season. Its been that way for about five yrs now. Maybe longer. Next season regions 1 and 3 will have homefield advantage.

I don't anticipate Harrison County being affected.

I guarantee you that you will not see some larger districts merge, especially in Harrison County... Gulfport, Long Beach, Biloxi, and Pass Christian have absolutely NO interest in being lumped in with the county schools. The argument can and should be made that very small schools should combine with other small schools to provide more efficient funding and education opportunities. Trying to force all the schools in Harrison County into a single district will have so many lawsuits filed it'll take decades to sort out.

Ok. Haven’t seen MHSAA publish that

I think whether it is West Jones or Gautier, it will be a great matchup for the Tide. I just think they are better than both right now and would beat them.

Could be, but Picayune needs to take it 1 game at a time. If Picayune gets past George County this Friday, round 2 won't be any easier. We would probably get an extremely tough West Jones squad and the margin of error in a game like that would be razor thin.

It is a conundrum. I learn toward not burning down the program yet again. Do that and that will make 6 head coaches in nine years. We see where the coaching carousel has gotten Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, Tennessee (to a certain extent) and even LSU. Every time you kick a coach to the curb it seems to get worse. Like throwing darts blindfolded. A program like State needs more stability at the HC position and have some patience to ride the downs with the ups. I do think he needs a shake up with the OL coach. Defense with Arnett looks good going forward. S&C coach may need a makeover to ensure our players are in the best possible condition.

IF my thinking is correct in 2027 the round opponents will be R1 vs R4, R2 vs R3, R5 vs R8, R6 vs R7, 2028 R1 vs R2, R3 vs R4, R5 vs R6, R7 vs R8. So yes a long road trip for playoffs from Clarkdale to say Ripley.
