Franklin county now open? Hearing chatter linking Franklin coach to Velma Jackson

Perry central beat Taylorsville 14-0. Tartars turned it over all 4 possessions first quarter.

Not 100% sure on this but I think it was Pelahatchie’s starters vs Northeast Jones’s backups maybe

I wasn’t there, but I heard Raleigh beat Northeast Jones 35-0

Looks like Velma won 21-6

That was night 1 of a two-day, three game extravaganza at Wayne County. You had Wayne County vs Quitman that Thursday night. Then the next night, since it absolutely would not stop raining that August of 2022, Wayne County was nice enough to allow Taylorsville and Raleigh to use the facility for their openers. Magee beat Taylorsville in Game 1 and then Raleigh beat Bay Springs in game 2. Very unique start to that season. That Raleigh/Bay Springs game was also the game that Coach Brady got a concussion and had to leave early in the first half. Current Bay Springs Coach Young took over and coached the rest of that game. Crazy to think that stadium saw a head coach get into a fight in the stands and another coach leave in an ambulance due to a concussion within a just over 24 hour span.

I don’t want it at Jackson either. Really I would like it to be at southern miss every year. Stadium size is perfect and the stadium is right on top of the field. It is a perfect high school championship atmosphere. However, if they want to be fair to north teams travel wise, and Mississippi state is willing to get into a consistent rotation again, then people are going to have to accept the fact that not every team is going to have locker room access. Unless they space out the time between games.

State's football facility is very nice. It's just not attached to the stadium. Really only time they would ever need more than two locker rooms is for the state championships. Which they've only hosted three times ever. And the previous two times (2014 and 2016) it was just a two day, 6 game event. State has the best grass and field crew in the business, so the field will always be in good shape, even for 7 games. Seeing Raleigh win a state championship at Mississippi State was extremely cool as I am a huge fan of both. It also worked out that Raleigh was one of the games that got to use the real locker rooms so that added to the experience. I do hate it for the teams that weren't able to do so. Have it at Ole Miss, and you'll have enough locker room space for everybody, but the field will be in shambles by about the third or fourth game. Have it at State, and the field will always be in great shape, but half the teams will be using a corridor as a locker room. Have it at Southern, and you'll obviously have turf and enough locker room space. So best of both worlds. But the North teams will complain about it being so far south if you do it there every year. Only other option is to go back to the old way. Jackson.

Raleigh was in the State locker room as well. That's really the only main drawback of having them at State. Ole Miss and Southern have their football facilities attached to their respective stadiums so they have plenty of places to get dressed. Even if the teams don't get to use the actual locker rooms, those two have multiple meeting rooms that can serve as adequate locker rooms. If I'm not mistaken, I think Ole miss has a whole different locker room that they use for halftime of their games to avoid going way back to the main one. So that's a nice option for teams when it is there. Unfortunately, State's football facility is way on the other end of campus. So there is really not any other choice when it is at State.

Nope I don't think they ever did. I was looking for it the other day too.

Also this lol

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.
