Picayune just needs to put a complete game together and consistently do it. When Picayune is on they are dominant and there's no question there. It just needs to be for 4 full quarters.

Hancock certainly looks improved. Jury is still out based on who they have played though. Natchez and Moss Point are not very good. St. Martin might honestly be the worst team in the state 4A-7A. Petal I am told is not very good this year either. They have Vancleave this week who I do not believe is very good so they probably win that in convincing fashion as well. They have Florence, West Harrison, George County and Pascagoula 4 straight weeks which in my opinion will tell the tale for them really. Hancock started out pretty solid last season and and fizzled at the end including a 28-0 loss at home versus Pascagoula who was the 7 seed in Region 4-6A last season. They are definitely improved but I do not know if I am ready to put them at the top of the pack in south 6A just yet, especially with Deuce Knight returning for George County.

i hate to hear it. that said this next game is about us getting better. otherwise it does not matter. its all about the playoffs and peaking in the playoffs. i dont care about region titles either. they affect seeding but you can't sneak past the best teams you have to beat them to win a championship so its kind of irrelevant. i am sure the Tide will give a good accounting of themselves whoever we put on the field. just keep improving - play the entire game. we will be fine.

You might have to go deeper to get comparisons. O.S. and Gulfport have a common opponent that beat them both by a hair, so they are close. Picayune and Gulfport are obviously pretty even. You might think that means next week’s game will be close, but it’s all about style in these games. O.S. relies more on defense, but can they matchup against the running style of the Tide? Injuries, of course, can Davis start, or will they hold him for district play? And, with that group of RBs, does it matter? O.S. has waited all year for the return of the highly touted soph RB to add speed to their offense. If he shows in this game, could tip the scales. Obviously, coaching matchups matter. Both teams have playoff type experience. Still a tossup in my book, or maybe I’m dreaming with the game up there.

You can only play who’s on your schedule, but Hancock has definitely dominated their opponents so far. If they keep this domination up in district play, then look out. There very well could be a grand finale type game the last time week of the regular season in Region 4-6A.
