With a little over a month away from the opening week, I have no issue of starting a game thread this early. Thoughts on this one. Petal has got some playmakers returning as does Hattiesburg. But the OL for Hattiesburg is going to have to mature and develop quickly as no starter from the OL returns this season. Last yr game was ugly as HHS welcomed a brand new coaching staff and had new players playing as well as a key injury. Hopefully this years outcome is different.
How seriously do you take a jamboree compared to a spring game? If your team gets blasted next month will you be concerned, or if your team dominates will you feel good? Of course a lot will depend on who you play in the jamboree.
I know i am a homer, but I can honestly say that Hattiesburg is a top 15 team. Probably not top 5 or top 10 but for sure top 15. And West jones is definitely a top 20 team.
Not going to say that Grenada will not be good or competitive this season, as they may well be, but its amazing how things can change in only a couple years. Two years ago one of the best in the state to now having a little bit of in house adversity before the season even starts
