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.

IAHS ain't no good. Shannon is that much better

This is facts!!! He definitely applied at WC and I also heard Pascagoula. I was shocked he didn’t get that Pascagoula job. I believe he’s a good coach

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?

Pennock might be a high school coach, but I think we all see he knows how to recruit.

Why would he leave WC after turning things around? You are in 5A south. Brookhaven will cycle back down to some leaner years. Their history has proven that. Laurel is in the midst of the final scene from Thelma and Louise. And West Point is apparently no longer West Point. You might say for more money, but WC has enough of that and has spent in the past. They were the 1st school in this area to build a big stadium years ago that rivaled no one else.

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.

Holding Bama to 200 yards was very impressive.

I think Bamas loss was more Jim Knowles and his front 7 being lights out. Arguably the best defense in the nation after that game. If Heupel gets his Qb settled in, they’re certainly a national title contender

2028? Lampley will be a sought after coach by the end of this season. I expect him to be the next head coach at Hattiesburg
