If Baldwyn drops to 1A it will set up an interesting possibility with the regions. You would have Biggersville, Baldwyn that play football, then Thrasher, Jumpertown, and Wheeler that do no play football. That would be the ideal 5 team region, but there's no way you can put on 2 football schools in a region. It will be interesting to see how they divide things. Two years ago when Baldwyn won in1A their region was Biggersville, Thrasher, Baldwyn, TCPS, Wheeler. Thrasher has no football and TCPS will move up due to the multiplier.

I think Rankin County has like 7 asst supt of education over a specific dept.

Long Beach is on their own also. The kicker down here will always be the money/casino divide. The cities get a larger portion than the county schools according to how many are in their district. Long Beach has none so they don't receive any of that money. Jackson county has the same divide with Chevron/Ingalls. Pascagoula/Gautier gets all of that money. It will be hard to explain rolling 4A and 5A schools into districts that are already made up 6A/7A schools as cost savings. School Boards will have to expand and the Supt spot for that district would likely just become an asst under the new organization with the main Supt likely getting a pay raise. OS already has some of the highest paid Admins in the state while being on the lower end of teacher and supplement pay. Not to mention the highest cartags in the state funding the district while they constantly cry of being broke.

Agree. Haven't watched since his addition. Outright obnoxious.

Long Beach do they have their own and then you have Hancock County and Waveland Bay St Louis separate. Its going to be interesting to see how they write the bill.

College Gameday is almost unwatchable nowadays between the blatant agenda pushing and whatever the heck you want to call Pat McAfee’s shtick.

He said if he was still coaching, he would be offering K1 millions to get in the portal.

What did Saban say about KT? I didn't watch it, so I didn't hear it.

All the coastal counties are setup the same way. The larger city schools OS, Biloxi, Gulfport, Pascagoula/Gautier, etc are their own districts while everything else falls to one county district. East Central, Vancleave, and St. Martin under JCSD. WH, HC, and d'iberville under Harrison County.

Elzy is 3A

That will change a few regions up as well.

Less gate money. Already hard enough to get people to come watch a live game in the streaming era. Let alone rainy seats.

Just saw that D'Iberville and West Harrison moved their game up to Thursday night. Cant understand why this has become a pattern now. Back in the day if it was a 90/100% chance of rain on a Friday gameday, you just went out and played as if it were a clear dry night. Teams usually enjoyed one wet muddy game before turf became a thing.

I am actually glad that SEC Nation is coming to State Saturday. They are better than Game Day and after Saban’s remark about KT1, I have don’t have much left for him.

Greenwood,Elyz & Leflore will be separated schools the next three years , as construction on the new high school has not started yet.

THLhe time to change your numbers has come gone. Waiting on MDE to certify the numbers I suppose.

New Albany has 300 acres near the current elementary school which could house a new middle school, new high school, gymnasium, football field and a track. Refer to my previous post on Ingomar, "it'll never happen". When East Union started football there was a time that players were from all the county schools( the union county band plays at east union football games) and students are from the whole county. Ingomar boys basketball complained enough to get the practice stopped due to basketball players from ingomar missing valuable time in the gym while playing football. after that, Myrtle began their own football team.

They will keep those schools open until the building falls in if they let them. They could build 1 central high school for all 4 smaller schoools.

Union county has east union-2A, Myrtle currently 2A but fixing to drop to 1A, west union-1A and Ingomar-1A and New Albany, a large 4A. myrtle and West Union should consolidate 5 years ago

Wheeler is north of Baldwyn in Prentiss County. Booneville is a district and so is Baldwyn. Prentiss County Schools are Wheeler, Thrasher, Jumpertown and New Site, with Marietta and Hills Chapel both being K-8 schools that feed into New Site for 9-12.

Union Counrltywould have to consolidate probably into 2 high schools and 1 superintendent.

Where is Wheeler? I thought Union County had 4 small schools and then New Albany.

I'm not sure how that would work. East Union is located on the edge of Union County and is a far piece from all the other schools in union county.

that's why your going to end up with Nettleton and Mooreville and Shannon in a district towards Macon and Louisville once they send 2 or 3 schools in some direction west or south.
