Fuggit, let’s go Puckett!! Sorry Blake!

good list

Does this prove that there’s no need for 7 classes? IMO if there’s talk for a 5 team region there’s no explanation for having 7 classes except for more money.

@bshields0244 or capitalsportsms.com

this show how much Neaves and crew fold for the big boys from tupelo and oxford. they could have done something similar in north 3A and north 4A but nope. Just pay the fuel costs and ride them buses as long as the mhsaa makes ca$h by playoff time. and don't get me started on the mhsaa basically collecting a fine to stream playoff games

I’d rather play Gulfport than Brandon or Meridian. They’re both tougher matchups than Gulfport. In my opinion.

Gonna need an explanation for how on God’s green earth Georgia managed to lose to Auburn… In Athens, at that.

Fun matchups across the board. A lot of points will be scored in the south

Yeah we are done here. Tomorrow works good for me, Selmon.

Yea Amite goes to Heidelberg Loyd Star goes to East Marion.

Perry Central seemed to handle Enterprise rather easily tonight.

Lumberton got absorbed into the Lamar County School District, so the kids that live in the North part of Pearl River County fall within the Lamar County School District since it got absorbed. The issue will arise if they ever close Lumberton because Poplarville School District doesn't want to lose those kids in the Northern part of the county. They would just want to keep the Pearl River County kids in Pearl River County and the Lamar County kids could go to Purvis. So to keep things from getting messy, they have to keep Lumberton open. I honestly think if they ever close Lumberton, everyone that falls within the old Lumberton School District would wind up going to Purvis anyway. That's a battle that I don't think Pearl River County would win.

SM hasn't played the type of schedule Meridian has. Meridian is battle tested by playing Starkville Hattiesburg petal oak grove and Brandon. Meridian can win south state

some weird placements here but after all, it is the mhsaa we're talking about

financial move , can't blame them

At 2 ACC officials have let it be known that if an athlete has an offer with let's say a value of $200,000. For any reason that value drops including injury, being on social media, etc, getting in any kind of trouble and not focused on the task your offer will be pulled.

My bad I meant that they’ll beat nwr

I see where East Mississippi opened up the job.

Picayune will if Stogner starts calling plays. Picayunes OC sucks at play calling.

With both Holmes CC and East MC CC coming open, gotta wonder if some successful high school coaches will be candidates for those.

Preach.

If it were impossible then OT games from weeks ago would still be going on right now. Score and get a stop or get a stop and go score. That's the formula. OT games are exciting for everyone involved but someone has to win. Leave the rules alone. Backing the ball up to the 20 or 25 would drag these games out even more. OT should be about getting the game resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Agree I think he's back next year if for no other reason than if he goes KT will go as well. We have improved every year and anyone that watched the first 4 games should see that with a healthy KT this is a 9-10 win team. For the crowd saying he should have recruited a quality back up, who wants to come when you know you are going to be a back up. We had one in Kromenhek and he left because he knew he was never going to start. And for the fire Lebby crowd, who you going to get. We have Lebby because no "name" coaches wanted the job last time.

I have really look forward to your posts each week. Real commentary around the south about football. Reminds me of the old board. I wish we could get that board back now more than ever.

I agree.

Really under 125 makes sence to close the doors.

Doesn’t seem like enough reason to keep the doors open at one of them does it?

1. $$$$ 2. $$$$ 3. Massive disparity in numbers between the highest 5A and lowest 5A 4. $$$$ 5. Travel times in some of the larger districts in the 5A set up 6. $$$$ 7. More state champions to celebrate 8. $$$$

What was wrong with just having 1-5a?

we gotta study that

There used to be another one called misshsfootball, but it died with COVID. It kept up with the district standings and also points per game. It had active teams, defunct teams, and playoff brackets. The difference with it though is that it only kept up from the creation of MHSAA to around 2020 when it stopped.

That is a great site with TONS of info. Kudos to those that keep that going

Elephant in the room on Kamario…. Him getting hurt is kinda not a unique thing? He’s had some issues going back to high school. I love the player, but you kinda have to go into next year fully understanding there’s a good chance he might not make it through a whole season.

That first half by Ole Miss was bad, just very very bad by the whole team. I was glad to see the team didn’t roll over and showed up in the second half, not quitting shows character in a team. Plenty of season left to see how it goes.

I would agree that Gulfport is the team to beat. We (Meridian) are vastly improved but we still have some weaknesses. A very big game at Petal next week. We really need to win that one. I know many will make it about Boyles but he was only at Meridian one year and that was three years ago. It now just represents a game we need to win for playoff purposes. Congrats to Wayne County. Your team like Meridian is playing its best football right now and ceiling is up there for further improvement.

He interviewed at Pascagoula last year and had applied at Wayne County before removing himself when that fiasco was heating up and Hathorn threatened the board with a lawyer for firing Hankins.

Yep! I’m going to say at West Point they have to do something. Have they ever been 0-7? Has anyone ever gone from state runner up to 0-7?

And that's all good, but to Vott's point they need to get someone in there to recruit the area. This is a hot bed for talent and usually you see the athletes here in Pearl River County go elsewhere. The only ones you see from this area that go to The River are usually ones that want to stay close to home, which is fine, but whoever the next coach is needs to invest in spending time recruiting the area. There's too much talent here to let it slip through the cracks and not do anything about it.

New law allows him to come back without messing that up right?

West Point only has 2 possible wins left with Caledonia and Columbus. Heck they might struggle with Caledonia since they've won some games this year. I believe they tried to get Chambless last year from Gordo and it didn't work, so that ship has probably sailed. Once you start drawing PERS and letting the COLA compound, you really don't want to screw that up.

Maybe they can hire Jenny Craig as a dietician. At least that would be a start.

Tennessee has the most favorable remaining schedule of any remaining playoff contender in the SEC, too. So naturally watch them lose to South Carolina this weekend.

There is ZERO justification for kicking onside kicks and purposely trying to run up the score when you are already up 50 points. There is no justification. One of the biggest problems right now with youth sports and high school sports are coaches with egos who disregard sportsmanship. You can blow a team out and still do it with good sportsmanship. For a first offense, the coach should be warned. After that, send them packing if they do it again.

Is it bad sportsmanship to pull your starting place kicker off the field at 42-0 for a freshman who can't kick 20 yards or do you kick deep with your starter when they field the ball at the 5 and fail to get to the 12 yard line. Could it be that bad. What do you do when your up 40 and McLaurin center has done a marvelous job of hiking the ball all night over the qb and punters head. And I Orleans on 98% of the plays. The other 2% was the qb running for his life. Sometimes your bad football team and third string scores 2 tds on you.

Your assumption would be wrong. Believe it or not, sportsmanship can and still should exist. While we are assuming, I’m going to assume you probably coach a 7u or 8u youth league team and that makes you think that you are a really big deal, like a “real” coach.

They can just as much as both if those two can beat Laurel. This Laurel team now isn’t the same as the one that played out of its mind against us or you guys. They believed that regardless of Brookhaven outcome they just needed to make playoffs and they were sure to get to south state and try to beat Brookhaven. Then they got annihilated and now they know they have no shot of getting to state regardless and word is a bunch of kids don’t see a point. Coaches have thus lost the locker room.

South 5A, and all of 5A, belongs to Brookhaven right now. Wayne County is likely the number 2 in 5A south.

November

Maybe most disappointing should be a title.

So, are you talking for county schools I assume? Or are you expecting for example, Hinds County to have 1 district that manages all schools k-12, city and county?
