I feel like Picayune may be going into this contest as a slight underdog. That's fine and I've always thought Picayune plays better when they aren't the clear cut favorite. It's going to take a great 4 quarter effort to beat Ocean Springs, but I think it's a task Picayune is up to completing. Here's some keys to the game for Picayune:
1.) This ain't Christmas. It's not gift giving time. No presents need to be brought to the game, nor do they need to be handed out.
2.) Play smart, disciplined football. Clean up the penalties. Don't play from behind the sticks.
3.) Eat Clock. When the Ocean Springs offense is on the sideline, guess what? They can't score. Have those long patented 7-9 minute Maroon Tide drives and score at the end of them.
4.) Get a few defensive stops. I don't expect Ocean Springs will be handing out presents, so make them bring out the punt team a few times.
