They need to definitely do away with Top 4 making playoffs but I know they won't.Ridiculous.

Lumberton got absorbed into the Lamar County School District, so the kids that live in the North part of Pearl River County fall within the Lamar County School District since it got absorbed. The issue will arise if they ever close Lumberton because Poplarville School District doesn't want to lose those kids in the Northern part of the county. They would just want to keep the Pearl River County kids in Pearl River County and the Lamar County kids could go to Purvis. So to keep things from getting messy, they have to keep Lumberton open. I honestly think if they ever close Lumberton, everyone that falls within the old Lumberton School District would wind up going to Purvis anyway. That's a battle that I don't think Pearl River County would win.

Tupelo and Oxford obviously have the most sway with Mr Neaves and the minions. Why can't other classes have a 7 team region and a 5 team region like they did with north 7A? There is no way any one of these individuals could speak and explain the reasoning and have it make any sense at all.

I'm told that due to some schools being classified as minority districts that they can't be forced to consolidate with another school. Is this true?

It’s bad, 7 classes does not work.

IF Swann and Fluff are healthy enough to actually contribute then I like State. Hard to go against UM but I like GA Even without Toney I like Miami I'll also take Mizzou, TN and BYU

6 schools in Northeast Ms. They sent the western most team to Region 2. The western most team Coahoma County got sent to Region 3 along with surprise Winona. Leaving Noxubee and CC all along until they send 2 Lauderdale County schools north. Let's play switch a roo.

SM hasn't played the type of schedule Meridian has. Meridian is battle tested by playing Starkville Hattiesburg petal oak grove and Brandon. Meridian can win south state

I’m interested in their matchup next week. St. Martin is sitting at 8-2 with a young team.

The MHSAA are not real smart people. Really creating 4 team divisions and they will all make playoffs. What a joke!

In Starkville for work this week so I got to slip over to the Hump last night and watch.State vs NW State. Good showing by the Dogs. Competition not very good, but anytime you win a game 82-44 you deserve at least some credit. They play Jackson State on Monday and then the season really gets going in a week. They’ve got a stretch of about six big games in a row beginning with Xavier that will determine a lot about what this team’s season can be.

Yea I just skimmed through real quick and didn’t notice that. It appears they just picked schools out of a hat.

i agree on all this^

try the new north tippah school which is in Walnut in region with north panola and independence when kossuth, alcorn central are a stones throw away. weird crap

North Pontotoc and South Pontotoc being 15 mins apart but in different regions makes a lot of sense.

This is a good, proactive move by the districts. Baldwyn, Nettleton, and Union are small districts spread across two counties as their towns are on the lines. Lumberton was as well years ago had a forced consolidation with Lamar County Schools. I think the students who were zoned for Lumberton but lived in Pearl River County were allowed to continue at Lumberton and did not move to PRC but I'm not 100% sure. Along with my many posts about the stupidity of 7 classes, I've been just as vocal about the need for district consolidation. There should be many more. District consolidation does not have to lead to local school closures just reduced administration and fewer school boards and taxation variances. Does it save a ton of money? Not necessarily that much in the big picture, but in a time of declining school enrollments and lack of adequate funds, this is mostly a good thing. I'd love to see more voluntarily make the move but it will likely be a fight in most communities.

MHSAA posted them late yesterday.

My brother in law told me about 12 years ago they like to switch schools from region to region everytime. They done a humdinger this time on 1A-4A. I expected it but not this much.

some weird placements here but after all, it is the mhsaa we're talking about

Meridian seems to be shaking things up good

I don’t know where he got them, but this is what was sent to me.

Massive week of games nationally. I’ll start with the biggest one of them all! Vandy at State.- lol. This game is going to be gross. It sounds like Swann and Fluff might actually play? Did not expect that after how they left the Texas game. This feels like a hugely important game for Lebby. State CAN win it. But I don’t believe in this team without Kamario. Prove me wrong, Dogs. But I have Vandy coming into town and winning something like 20-17. Georgia at Ole Miss - Massive game for OM. Win this one and it would take a big upset for them to not make the Playoff a second year in a row. Might still have a chance with a loss but it would be tough. I’m truly torn on this one, as I believe UGA is the better team. But when in doubt, recent history says pick Ole Miss at home. I think the Rebs get this one 31-27. Bama at LSU - I have no clue why Bama is rated as high as they are in the CFP rankings. But I don’t think it will last long. LSU has quietly stepped it up of late, and in Baton Rouge, I really like their chances here. I actually have LSU winning this one by double digits. Kentucky at Tennessee - Excited about this one, think it’s a great opportunity for UK…. But if there’s anything I’ve learned watching Kentucky over the years, it’s that Tennessee is their boogeyman. I think the Vols take this one at home. Texas at Mizzou - Mizzou is weird (lol of course they are). Texas is good but not great. I’m taking Mizzou in a home upset here. Miami at Notre Dame - No Toney for the Canes, who have been living dangerously lately. I think ND finally gets its big win here. Utah at BYU - Top 10 Holy War. Will be a fun game in the early window. I am taking BYU on the road in this one, just a hunch.

That was one hell of a game

Agree

Interesting playoff matchups next week. Except for the Biloxi at Oak Grove first round invitational. It will be the 5th consecutive year they meet in round 1. 6th time in 7yrs. All played at oak Grove
