It got announced in another in another thread so I am sure not a lot seen it. Tib passed away suddenly back in December right after I last talked to him. This was a shock to the few that just found out. I will just put what I did in the other thread . I want to see where this one goes for my own reasons. I am not ashamed to say i wept when I found out . I just figured he was busy and waiting on August to start communicating . He busted his tail for his family and would give you the shirt off his back. He was my friend and I already miss Patrick. Every time I look that way where he was always parked my mind will always drift to times he was still here. Save me a seat and we will catch up when I see you again Tib.

Oh yeah I bet Choctaw County, Noxubee County, Raleigh, JDC, Magee, Seminary, Winona are all extremely glad they don’t have to worry about Enterprise.

It definitely allows more schools in the playoffs, but it certainly doesn't make schools more competitive.

i have had two grand kids since states last conference win, congrats

I've went back and forth the last few months on what to do to at least keep the memory of my friend alive on here. If it wasn't for this site I would have never known Patrick along with many more over the years. I have been half catch myself waiting to get word from him on how this or that would play out as the season has gotten ready to be kicked off. Tib, myself and a core of about 20-30 people kept this site from being thrown in the trash heap of failed message boards as the years progressed through the 2000s. He butted heads with some but he was a fair person and could let things go in order to move forward. Not a word from certain people has been put in recognition of him by some that have been on here as long as we were and some that haven't been here as long but have acted like they built this site. Hell oldtiger was pinned to the top and grieved there for I don't remember how many years. I'm not lessening his presence on here either but Tib cast just as big a shadow as that. I will even be more frank I think there is a certain one that still holds a grudge against him because Tib proved him wrong in front of us all and he couldn't take it. When I tried to make the peace and get said "person" to meet him halfway to get Tib back on here they flat out refused. Tib was absent from here for a long time behind that but he finally came back at the behest of several of us and this place was better off for it. Tib always resented that situation and honestly so do I with the way it was handled. It was as wrong then as it is now. This site has gotten less and less traffic in the last fifteen years. We are not a family anymore. I will leave everyone to come up with their own reason for why. I know why and no one will convince me otherwise. I don't know how long this will stay up because of what I said above but I really don't care. He would have said it for me. I feel like I could look over my shoulder right now and he would be nodding his head yes. I miss you on this Friday old friend. I know you would be bugging me this morning about going to stand in the rain with you tonight.

I live in poverty. My car may not start in the morning. The roof is leaking at the back of my house. No computer in my house. Oh look some one is going to give me 7000 dollars. What does anyone really think is going to happen with that money ? This thing is DOA

Having seen Wayne County this year I can say two things. 1. The athletes to be successful are there right now. Not including the ones who were run off, quit, or decided not to play the past few years. 2. Facilities are great and easily among the top in 5A, if not the state. This has potential to be a really, really good job. The right coach, will have them competing for state championships year in and year out.

I think as the season wore on I wasn't right about any the finalists in 7,6 or 5A and how it would play out. These new classes have really blurred the lines. In person I thought WC and Laurel matched up with Brookhaven size wise. Tonight they looked much bigger than WP and basically just pushed WP around as the game wore on. Brookhaven coach had them ready. Good job . They left no doubt.

I have a perfect solution. Haha. We can have a PowerPoint system and have a losers bracket champion and have 14 championship games.

The “top tier” (largest classification of schools) will always feature a huge disparity. The schools at the bottom of that heap (currently 7A) will statistically fit better and compete more strongly with the classification under them. But, I don’t know that there is a good solution. MS is not large enough for 7 classifications.

Lebby is in good shape. Emotions just need to settle down some. This mentality of discarding coaches after a single loss or even a win is just mind boggling. And we might see coaches staying put rather than jumping from the frying pan into the fire. If I have a good gig, why I am I going to leave that for FL or LSU where I going to be set up for failure.

Knee jerking going on in Mississippi I know some place bad but 95% are just fine

sounds like Jackson needs to consolidate down to 3 large high schools and build new stadium for each

this ain't your daddy's Meridian

I look for OG to come out and play as if they were 2-0. If you cant get fired up about playing your crosstown opponent, then something is for sure wrong. If I dont see a packed visitors side that tells me the fans have already given up on them. Despite 0-2 the main goal is still in front of them.

Y’all have been around long enough to know what polls to take serious.

Y’all might as well quit dreaming about less classifications coming back. It ain’t happening.

Booneville has a new stadium.

Stopped by practice yesterday it looks like Lampley has his numbers up. Also looked like some of the big boys that have been walking the hallways not playing decided to play.The practice was full of energy and well organized no signs of the wing T lol. Not saying all is well in WC this is his first year but I do believe they made a great decision.

That’s truly awful — unnecessarily busy, distracting, and the eagle logo leaves much to be desired. I’m very familiar with bad logos. Here at Pascagoula we may have the worst logo on the state.

In thinking about this. What does it really matter what rules they put in place when they selectively enforce what they have now. Do we really see that changing?

It's a done deal

How do we know the private schools do better than the public schools. What data can we point to to make that claim? I ask private school supporters what accountability model do the private schools use? Most of them don't know what I am talking about. lol I have no problem with private schools, however most of them were/are just segregation academies that just spit baseless rhetoric to justify separating their kids from the public schools. Thats your right as well but you don't get taxpayer money to pay for it. Fund it with your private money. How is that not logical? We don't like welfare in the country unless its welfare that benefits the people that already have the means. Thats backwards. Then they want the money with none of the oversight or policy. BS. I do agree that change needs to happen in public schools. The testing is a real and big issue. They need less oversight as well to allow schools to cater more to their communities and stakeholders. Thats the power of the citizens though. We could get it done but we can't if we just gonna walk away and point fingers. The public school system is the powerhouse of the country. Instead of us wanting to fix it, we want to strip it of all its resources and take it back to our friends and those around us who would benefit. We don't care about the society as a whole. Thats my issue. Come together and force the powers that be to make the schools work for us. But I will never agree to this... never. ITs just more rich people welfare and a guise to benefit those who already have the means.

Also still cannot get over the fact that BOC is younger than Lemonis. He’s a 54 year old that can pass for 70 lol.

These kids nowadays are so dramatic. The kid is basically admitting he’s transferring just to play sports. If the MHSAA allows him to transfer they should be ashamed. But i wouldn’t be surprised if Loyd star is freely releasing him. I heard either he or his family had become an issue. Regardless, I have a feeling he’s going to find out the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. He was blessed to be in the offensive system that Loyd Star ran, which gave him the ball 25+ times a game, and allowed him to rush for a ton of yards against weak opponents almost every week. In any other offensive system, he doesn’t come close to putting up the same rushing stats. I think he’s about to learn a harsh lesson, and it appears it will be his and his family’s own doing.

I would rather have a War Eagle we have one in Ocean Springs we could bring home

tulane vs no lane

They can hire Pogue he’s available

It's always a crapshoot when it comes to Sims.

Most of us are waiting to see if coach survives this since he has go before the board to be reinstated as a coach for any and all sports. He is also not allowed to have contact with students. I wonder how that works in the hall way, class room, and lunch table. Has to be weird at school.

It’s obviously a 4 team pick between Warren Central, South Panola, Lake Cormorant and Grenada. Beginning of the season I would’ve said Warren Central and if they play a complete game I’d still go with them but all four are capable. If Grenada wants to return to the state championship game their secondary is going to have to wake up. ETA: I actually forgot about Ridgeland. They’re a team that could cause some problems in the playoffs. This year in the north is surely more competitive than it was last year.

Seems obvious to me Vitello and O’Sullivan both were just scared of O’Connor coming into the league***

If Clarkdale is really that bad I like Enterprise's chances; if Clarkdale can get beat 45-0 by a not very good beat up Mize team Enterprise can take them.

Agreed in the last 2-3 minutes of the game Lanier broke runs of 99 and 40 yards pretty much right up the middle. Lanier’s defense looked pretty good in the second half after giving up 22 in the first half

Not sure what you mean but atleast OGs talent stays in OG to win games and they don’t have to reach out to East Marion, South Jones, Taylorsville, poplarville, Richton to get players to win some games. Maybe try doing it with the players they have. But again that would not be Petal/Boyles tactics. Again congrats on Petal for finally getting over the hump and beating OG for the first time since 2019. Let’s see if they can do it when it matters.

OG got out coached

D'Iberville and Kosiusko

@Blakeremember when I had you find us this current house because it was in the Lafayette school district? We now need one in Oxford school district because of this scaredy cat nonsense.

Well we tried to tell them. Speaking of Cham. He made the trip to the game

Ty Keys for Poplarville had an impressive night going for 546 yards on the ground and 8 TD’s on 17 carries. He now holds the MS single game rushing record.

Congrats State fans! Heckuva game.

I agree but no way that was not financial based in the 4th qtr

D'Iberville will have trouble getting more than 10.

There are fans at every school that say this exact same thing about their school every single year. Nobody, and I mean nobody, knows mize football more than me, and mize has not been the best 2A team in the state ever since they have been in 2A going back to 2005. Nobody was beating Scott central 3 years ago, nobody was beating Charleston 2 years ago and nobody was beating Heidelberg last year. The best teams won the championship every year the last 3 years. Was Mize better than Loyd Star last season? Yes, probably so. But they weren’t better than Loyd Star on that one particular night. That’s the way the game goes, it’s the way it’s always gone ever since the game was invented. But to the average Joe that has absolutely no clue about what’s going on, every loss will always be because of poor coaching. If you don’t believe that just ask enterprisebulldogfan.

Programs with new coaches are teams I think you need to keep an eye on.

Now confirmed, Oxford and Hattiesburg both hosting.

No one should get too high or too low about the outcome of a Spring Game. It's one of the more pointless exercises in high school football
