There is another court date next week. So what happens if Salem wins and becomes ineligible again next week ? Does Lumberton get put back in or does Nanih Waiya gets a bye in second round? I'm sure the latter. Either way, crazy situation.

Salem

Seminary moved to Thursday

I really didn’t know if yall had made it past 3rd round in anything since the move to 2a. I know football made third round a few times. Wasn’t sure on other sports. Mize will beat Raleigh again one day. Who knows, it maybe next year like you say. We will have to see when it gets here. At least this current staff will play Raleigh. I’ll give them credit for that. Lee and his bunch took us off the schedule in 2019 in favor of West Lincoln. Left us with a bye in week 1. It was very close to the season and couldn’t find a replacement that late in the game. He knew they had NO chance of competing much less winning. Would’ve loved to seen what Get would’ve done in 2021 and 2022. Might would’ve had 500 each game. But then again, much like last night, Hig probably would’ve shown mercy.

Nah whole different baseball coach now so that ain’t it. Ainsworth and Mattox definitely took their football frustrations out on the baseball field. But again, we did take a knee. Hig didn’t run it up. And Mize kept their starters out there too. Wasn’t like we had the starters out there against the backups. Great kick return by 8 setup one touchdown and the hook and ladder and then the lucky catch off the tip set up the other touchdown. Other than that, mize offense didn’t do much at all. Has that ATHLETICS program made it to south state in any sport since moving up to 2a twenty years ago?

I was hoping for 50 and a running clock at the end there, but Coach Hig took gracious mercy and kneeled it. Maybe had he heard mattox yelling at him earlier in the game to get off the **** field, when it was the referee who asked him to come out there to tell him about a penalty, he wouldn’t have took that knee. As far as leaving the starters in, it wasn’t like it was 60-0 and a running clock since halftime or anything. Somewhat Tight game for a half. Also, and I wasn’t at the baseball game so I’m going off what I’m told, it could’ve been a little bit of payback for baseball. From what I understand, starters were left in on the Mize side and a lot stealing was going on in like a 20 to 0 type game. Running the score up in baseball because you cant get it done on the football field.

Very true. Just as Mize has gotten many Mount Olive players over the years. As well as a few from Raleigh. I know for a fact that in the mid to late 2000s range, a Mize coach used to stop by Raleigh and pick up a kid on his way to Mize . Things used to be much easier in the “head count man” days and many teams used to take full advantage. Including Mize. And of course the last championship in 2004 featured heavily a player that moved in from north Mississippi. French camp I believe. Which I know he officially moved but if memory serves there had to be some clearing and string pulling done with the MHSAA. Luckily for mize, the head coach at the time just happened to be on some boards with the MHSAA and the MAC which made that string pulling just a little bit easier.

lol ballizlife22 was posing as a Raleigh guy and was specifically singling out Mize players all week leading into that 2023 game. I have always theorized it was somebody on Mize's staff doing it, but I could be wrong. But, sure seemed like it was a coach that was going on here, smack talking specific players, then pressing print and posting it in their lockers. If not a coach, it was a fan/booster closely associated with the team. Then, he didn't log in for months after that game. He got started back up around playoff time but nothing to the extent of earlier in the season. But, like you said, I would support it too. It's a classic approach that has stood the test of time and works in any generation.

Maybe ballizlife22 has returned two years later as KennyRayHill. That account was 100% trying to generate bulletin board material.

Yes sir

Simpson county consolidation is no longer happening. Not now or near future at least. https://www.simpsoncounty.ms/consolidation-rescinded?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLiCl1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHn3u5Lz5tygN-gqXkxt1Nc9zFXi0LEsDV3iXrneEoZj9UGGe1sQiNNsBTBV9_aem_Vjn_XOv1B71aLYgdvYFJgg

Week 6 @ Mclaurin Week 7 is the non district against forest. Not sure where. Week 8 Magee Week 9 @ Seminary Week 10 JDC

I think it's Newton County again for Week 2. Taylorsville is week 3 again yes. Morton for week 5. Forest is Week 7.

Raleigh opens up at D'iberville in Week 1. Morton and Forest are the other two opponents for the other open dates. From what I have heard, Week 1 was originally supposed to be at Ocean Springs. But, that fell through for some reason. Not sure exactly what happened with that, but I know it wasn't on Raleigh's end that it fell through.

Nope. Raleigh definitely wanted to continue the series but the Bay Springs staff did not.
