I live in poverty. My car may not start in the morning. The roof is leaking at the back of my house. No computer in my house. Oh look some one is going to give me 7000 dollars. What does anyone really think is going to happen with that money ? This thing is DOA

Having seen Wayne County this year I can say two things. 1. The athletes to be successful are there right now. Not including the ones who were run off, quit, or decided not to play the past few years. 2. Facilities are great and easily among the top in 5A, if not the state. This has potential to be a really, really good job. The right coach, will have them competing for state championships year in and year out.

Right now they do not, but part of House Bill 2 would allow homeschooled students to play with their public school. I get it. These families pay school taxes. I also pay school taxes despite the fact my two kids are grown. I pay taxes on lots of things I don't have access to or need because they support the common good. A family who homeschools or sends their kids to private school have actively decided to not take advantage of a public service that is being offered. That's totally fine. I just don't think they should be given public money because of that choice.

These kids nowadays are so dramatic. The kid is basically admitting he’s transferring just to play sports. If the MHSAA allows him to transfer they should be ashamed. But i wouldn’t be surprised if Loyd star is freely releasing him. I heard either he or his family had become an issue. Regardless, I have a feeling he’s going to find out the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. He was blessed to be in the offensive system that Loyd Star ran, which gave him the ball 25+ times a game, and allowed him to rush for a ton of yards against weak opponents almost every week. In any other offensive system, he doesn’t come close to putting up the same rushing stats. I think he’s about to learn a harsh lesson, and it appears it will be his and his family’s own doing.

I hate that someone takes offense to all the Wayne County Threads. So please if you respond to this thread please post where you’re from. I have a lot of friends here and have lost a few from here through the years like OldTiger and Tib just imagine what their Christmas was like this morning.

That’s true too,lol. But I meant from wareagle fan . To this day when someone asks me where I’m from i say Wayne County. My wife is retiring in about five years more or less and when ahe does we are going back to south ms.

I would rather have a War Eagle we have one in Ocean Springs we could bring home

I've heard that FT's go for 250k a pop nowadays

I think you missed the point…

To me, if this were about helping students in failing schools get better access, this bill would only be for those students. If you live in an F or D rated district, attend public school and want to go to another one in a better position or even a private school, then I could see offering some financial help if the family is low on the SES scale. But half of the vouchers are aimed for students who are already in private schools. That's a giveaway program under the guise of helping students.

Have you heard if he is leaving?

I’d say there is a fair chance this gets filled in the next week or so

If Washington School keeps recruiting like they have been so far this semester, they might end up like Covid GCS if this bill passes.

I think Indiana’s coach has proven himself and he can do it without star players. I don’t know about Golding. OM will miss Kiffin and his offense and his game planning. Plus they have a much tougher schedule next year. They benefited the last two from a favorable schedule. OM won’t go 2-10 though because they will get players with their collective. All the praise for Golding is premature. Not saying he won’t be a good coach, he’s been hyped too much and Kiffin devalued too much in my opinion. Same with Texas Tech. Not sure about the coaching, but they’re going to spend some money.

House Bill 2 is 553 pages. Changes will be made. Taking public money to private schools should be the first change.

MHSAA does not allow for homeschooling to play sports. But man can you imagine having 15 home schooled kids at $105,000 income. Someone better regulate these folks.

Sending that much to a homeschool will be the same stealing in Minnesota day cares.

Kicked the two long field goals. Kiffin would have never done that.

This is exactly what I've thought about including homeschooled families in this bill. Not everyone homeschools for the right reasons. If this bill passes as written (probably not) then no only can someone homeschool with a voucher their kid can now play sports with their local public school. Many who homeschool do a great job but I think the numbers who don't do anything with their kids will increase if they are given a financial incentive to do so.

State testing doesn’t mean good education, my kids were taught how to take the test. Nothing else- at an”A” rated school!

Greenville has a large almost 500 9th grade class. They will be moving up from what I can tell. I do question the large number but I looked at it 3 times as I looked at the bottom 6 of the current 7A list. Greenville will be that team moving up.

Some states allow unlimited transfers as long as the student can get to school, regardless of location. For instance, Choctawhatchee in Fort Walton Beach, Florida this season had several transfer starters from Pensacola - two counties away. Potential litigation moves things nowadays more than what is fair.

I also realize that Carthage absorbed Thomastown & Edinburg, but why couldn't they just stay the Carthage Tigers? If the whole Leake County/Leake Central mascot and color thing was just a coincidence it makes it confusing as heck.

Agreed that some of these smaller counties need to consolidate and no real need for 3 superintendent offices in these smaller populated counties.

Boom! I was hoping someone was going there. If that situation occurs and Kiffin was coaching, Ole Miss does not attempt a FG in those situations.

i think Lane might have used simmons in short yardage situations and I figure he would have gone for it on 4th down both times in the 1st quarter and not attempted the FG's and ended up losing the game.

The MHSAA usually only investigates if a complaint is made or if something on the transfer form looks off, not living with parents, moving from House to an apartment, whole family didn’t move, etc…. A lot of times they send someone from the school to check on it. They should have someone outside the schools investigating anything like this posted on Twitter and check it more than once. I’ve seen both sides where a kid I thought should be eligible made ineligible and a kid (at my school) I thought should be ineligible made eligible.

OSU better get a TD on the first possession of the 3rd

What exactly is a legit reason? No need to keep anyone that doesn't want to be kept. As long as all basis are covered I'm cool with it.

You should have been given the chance with those kids the next season. It was the covid year and by the end of the season you had turned the corner with them . I watched several of those games in person and they got better every game . By the time ya'll won the last game in Picayune they had learned how to turn it on and found some playmakers. That last game is still a better win than anything that the Alabama con man has done. During the span since then he has proceed to beat those kids into the ground and left limping from his crap offense that he lied about running before he was hired. So I apologize for not going harder in calling for you to be retained. You were Wayne County to the core. Still are. They did you wrong bro. I know it caused you hardship too. Like the rest of us you have to leave your home so they may stay. If anyone has a case to be coaching the War Eagles it's you.

We need another message board to simply discuss all things Wayne County. Currently 3 topics discussing Wayne County. Starting to look like Enterprise topics.

There definitely is, depending on which school is getting and which school is losing the transfer.

Tulane, JMU, or any other G5 teams have no business playing in the playoffs.This has to be fixed, do away with the automatic conference bids and get the top 12 ranked teams in the playoffs regardless of what conference they're in. If they must have a G5 let the top two have a play in game the week before the playoffs begin.

TNT got two snooze fest games today. Ratings are probably so low they are looking up at Australia. Games should have been Miami-Oklahoma Vandy-Notre Dame A&M-Ole Miss Oregon - Bama or some combination thereof with no rematches. Would have been competitive with good ratings.

I'm not one to call out stupidity, but this is a stupid post. They are trying to make things better in Waynesboro. Give it some time.

Hey I didn’t say it’s who I would go after

It’s really tight lipped . It makes me think it’s already been agreed to and it’s just formalities now .Which is why i put a cold board of folks we don’t want. Like my fellow eagles have said already there’s too much smoke around one name .Make it happen

The hot board is a short list. One will be a former player and the other is a former wc coach. Without saying names of course.

It's about time. Hopefully things can start moving in a positive direction in Waynesboro.

I’m not sure it all just happened yesterday not even sure it’s been posted yet. It should attract some attention

Who are some people that you think will be up for the job

This comes with a new administration the Superintendent is out as of January 1st. Hearing the principal is also retiring. So coming in with a new slate, good pay great facilities. This is a sleeping giant that needs to be kicked started.

Give us your hotboard.

Screw Enterprise and screw you too if you don't like it . Look at the views on my topics . Start one on your post and see how much interest it draws, It's people with your mindset that are the reason why a lot of places have had the life drained out of the town and no one knows why .
