Marcus was trying to find a way to shore up his lines on both sides and to set the edge for those backs. He still hasn’t found a qb but he will. He always does. My assessment on Wayne County and me watching this fall.

After 3 Quarters it was 12-10 Meridian. The JV played the 4th quarter. And when I left around 3 minute mark, The Wayne county jv was up 12-0. Meridian has a few pieces but I personally didn’t see enough to make me think they are a playoff team at this moment in time. Now there’s a long way to go between now and the season and there’s no chance I’d bet against MB so we will see how it turns out. As far as Wayne county goes, I wasn’t impressed but I also wasn’t disappointed. I think there’s some things to build on but I also think there’s a lot to improve on. I think the playoffs are in the picture but I didn’t see anything that would make me think that’s a state title contender even in a weak 5a. I’m still waiting on that next step in the process of the program being built back up and that might happen once the fall rolls around. Same team I saw last fall and that’s not necessarily a bad thing at this point in the process. Those are my takes from the game. And I’m not one to take too much stock from a spring game, so my assessment isn’t super in depth.

Lol ok I’ve been filming games for the coaches at WC for several years including Coach Boyles years. I’ve learned through all those years don’t base you predictions of the upcoming season off of a spring game. WC is a lot bigger and stronger upfront on both sides of the ball. For most of the game the QB was able to throw the ball without much of a rush. Now I’m not saying you’re going to see Jerrell Powe and Benito Jones out there but we are better. My concern was QB and he played well last night he did throw one interception late trying to get us in position for a game winning FG attempt. Are we WC of old no we’re not but we’re not playing with the caliber athletes that we ran out during that time but they are working to get there. We have to have stability at the HC Coach Hankins is the third coach in five years we’re going to be fine.

Easy to say but hard to do. Our guys just need to find a way to win today. Then let the other results go as they will. If we sweep and one of the other teams has game cancelled (provided they lose the other two games) because of weather we will be in by virtue of a better record. 11-19 will be better than 10-19. Of course I am getting ahead of myself there.

We’ll see what happens the next two days. State is 1 for 1 in getting what they needed this weekend so far. Tomorrow needs to be another fruitful day.

Mize and Bay Springs to me had to have been the best overall game. It was actually a really good scrimmage. Very physical scrimmage I thought. I don’t know how you would keep score but both offenses seemed to score equally. Maybe 5 or 6 touchdowns for both teams. Bay Springs still has plenty of size, and they have two offensive backs that are a load… #25 and #1. Bay Springs did struggle against the pass a little. We threw for 3 scores, but we will be a little better in the air this year than previous years. Bay Springs tried to throw it a little but wasn’t very effective. Their bread and butter is still running that wing. Good physical scrimmage overall.

Just got home from the Stringer jamboree. Several teams played, some I was impressed with, others I wasn’t. Magee and NE Jones was competitive, both offenses seemed to move the ball against the defense. Richton and seminary was competitive. Early on richton was getting the better of seminary but seminary was able to move the ball a little better later in their game. I would say they were pretty evenly matched. Stringer and richland was pretty much all offense. Both offenses moved the ball. Collins looked very much improved. Either Collins is gonna be much improved or clarkdale lost a lot from last years team. Or maybe they still have some baseball players out. Cause from the little bit I got to see, Collins looked better.

That definitely took some guts by Amani Larry. I thought when Hunter Hines hit into a double play in the 8th when there were ducks on the pond with one out, I thought State was done at that point. Great walkoff win for the Dawgs!
