Maddox literally just went 20/26 and 300 yards a few days ago.

Like you, my opinion of these two teams was influenced by what we saw in the playoffs last year. But, now I’m seeing one team much improved on offense, O.G., and one who started the season struggling. The opposite factor is that O.G. is struggling on defense, and Brandon picking up their offense lately. Maddox has almost eliminated the turnovers that killed their playoff hopes last year in O.S. On the other hand, Brandon lost a lot of size and a lot of receivers since last year. One team is better than last season and at home. Still riding the O.G. bandwagon right now.

The limited video and sports reporting I’ve seen does show them trying to vary their offense to get better, and the defense does tackle well. That being said, beating weaker and smaller opponents doesn’t improve your grit, and might even give players and coaches a false sense of superiority. Knight is a different kind of problem than anything they’ve seen.

Yea… trying to compare the two teams in this scenario isn’t very smart. Meridian played OG close last year and OG still beat Brandon. We’re a lot like USC style wise. Score at will on offense and thankfully the defense has gotten just enough stops when it matters. It’ll probably have to continue to be that way.

I've watched a few games online this year of both team but I also watched both teams in person in the playoffs last year. Your own guys have made reference to the inaccuracies at times but the good thing is one of us will be proven wrong Friday night. Gotta love High School football! Good luck!

Meridian put 35 points on the board vs Oak Grove. I suspect Brandon is a good bit better than Meridian.

Don’t know why everybody keep talking about bay springs and not the team that already beat bay springs. We will handle that again at south state if bay springs get there.
