Go to sleep, you're drunk.

Before Hattiesburg started playing Petal and Oak Grove on a regular basis, there were only 2 games that most HHS fans circled on the schedule. Laurel and Moss Point. In 1996 or 1998 HHS was hosting Moss Point and word got out that there was nothing but a blue and white convoy of vehicles coming from HWY 98 and 49 headed to Hattiesburg. Sure enough before classes were dismissed for the day, Moss Point fans were set up outside the stadium off campus tailgating at about 2 in the afternoon. I hated that the HHS-Moss Point series ended because that was a trip I enjoyed. Dantzler Stadium has one of the best settings at a high school where you are able to look out across the Escatawpa River.

St. Stanislaus and Bay High play for the Crab Trap trophy.

Jim Hill vs. Forest Hill is the Pothole Bowl

There was 1 team that West Point couldn't dictate the game on the ground against and that was Picayune. There were teams that bent but didn't break for the most part, Louisville and Vicksburg are the two I saw in person (didn't go to Starkville), but the only defense that really shut down the run game was Picayune. Remember, West Point's first two scores were long pass plays in the championship game. The 2nd half TD was a ground and pound type of drive but by then the West Point defense was even more tired than the Picayune defense so it couldn't be capitalized on. I will say this however, the best team I saw this year in person was Louisville. It was early in the season, but they sure had it all together at least on that night. Picayune had better backs obviously, but grading the entire team Louisville was more impressive to me.

Go Hounds!

I will put Marcus Perkins on the list. His brother Suntarine says he's a better athlete.

Pretty classless of him there; going to make it hard for him to find a new team.

If it's about protecting athletes, then grass it is. If it's about how it looks, safety be damned, then turf it is.
