You honestly think that's a justification for losing your job in a competition based occupation?

Your assumption would be wrong. Believe it or not, sportsmanship can and still should exist. While we are assuming, I’m going to assume you probably coach a 7u or 8u youth league team and that makes you think that you are a really big deal, like a “real” coach.

ats what I'm talkin bout. come on

The spread movement the last day or two would suggest that we are gonna see the Billy Puckett show in Baton Rouge. Go be a legend, kid. Lol,

It feels good putting stuff in the ride a couple of days before Friday again instead of looking at reasons not to go. IDK know what to think about Al Smith trying to bandwagon his way back amongst the faithful. Madam Supt. watch this stooge or he will be defacto running things again . Let him go support his god son Reynolds helping steer Laurel off the cliff on his program nuked tour

The area that encompasses George County should be dressing eighty or more players. Less that and a coach really has to decide being competent on just one side of the ball. You can’t win with that in 6A. Look at the requirements to play football versus the minimum test scores for the state

I know their middle school boys are huge. But what happens from that time to varsity, who knows. They haven't had a really good replacement for Al Jones. That much I know.

You think they would all go 4? or possibly 3. That cut line is going to be very interesting for the middle classes. Could see a lot of movement compared to the last reclass.

Then 2 schools from Region 4 currently area maybe coming South or from lower Delta.

THURSDAY’S GAMES Caledonia (3-3) at Pontotoc (5-1) Hernando (5-1) at Tupelo (7-0) Lanier (6-1) at Holmes County (2-5) Lumberton (2-4) at Resurrection (2-4) Simmons (4-1) at Shaw (2-5)

Unofficial Numbers I've heard for this count are Amory 312, Booneville 310, Mooreville 318, Ripley 308. Should be interesting to see where that cut line is for 3 and 4A.

Caledonia at Pontotoc tonight Okolona at Calhoun City tonight

lots of very soft non competitors out there today. play the game and keep all the personal feelings at the house.

So, I’m assuming Chunky and Coastball are participation trophy parents. It’s the defense’s job to stop the offense. If you can’t handle that, I’m sure they some type of intramural sports for y’all

Agree

Yes the coach deserved it. Glad he was fired. And yes there are some in Mississippi who would do it if they could.

Potential for a really good weekend. iF Taylor and Bothwell were healthy, that game is a tossup with LSU. If they’re limited, LSU may make it ugly. Then you have the which one shows up questions: Ole Miss that beat LSU or lost to Florida? Mizzou that beat Florida or lost to State? Texas that beat Ohio State or lost to Oklahoma? Florida that beat Ole Miss or lost to South Carolina ? I feel strongly UGA beats Auburn, other than that it’s a crapshoot weekend. BTW- well done on your Arkansas Vandy comment… a winner must be declared! Lulz

Up or down 15 students i can see due to transfers, dropouts, homeschooling, going to private schools, failing 8th graders, promoting juniors from 11th to 12th grade, etc. But 124 plus for Lafayette that's alot of students moving in, failing 11th grade, etc. And don't get me wrong i can see parents to Oxford area, enrolling their students at Ole Miss , letting children live at home while attending college and have maybe 1 or 2 other children that fit into the 9th thru 11th grades. I know they do it because a Nurse high up at UMC moved to Starkville for her son to live at home while he attended MSU and she got a job at Oktibbeha hospital. I worked with her husband before he left for another job as salesman. Something similar to what Meridian coach is doing now.

Hernando @ Tupelo tonight New Albany @ South Pontotoc tonight

.

Yes, there are probably some who would cave to an influential parent.

Just read about a coach in Oregon getting fired for doing an onside kick in a 63-0 win with the kick coming in the 2nd qtr and his team up 56-0. Without naming the school or schools, do you think there are any A.D."s or superintendents in Mississippi who would do the same thing and fire a coach for doing that? And did that coach deserve it?

I have not seen them lately but the past few years it seems best athletes went to offense and defense had the rest to best they could. Seemed locked in on MUST two platoon it and I know there were years where the defense was quite porous.

i agree on that. I just feel that some of these have turned in numbers quite different from their 2025 figures. I anxiously await

Also, just a small add as to who I think GC should schedule each season (in no particular order) with a six team non-region schedule in the current class format (no open week): - Greene County (Battle for the Bell) - Stone (Battle of Highway 26) - East Central (Battle of Highway 63) - Vancleave (Battle of Highway 57) - Ocean Springs - Moss Point (Shipyard Bowl) *I would've placed Gautier and Pascagoula in there, but I think that in a normal region placement George County likely plays those two teams anyway.
