As long as the system remains, things will never change. High school athletics being run by a private organization with zero oversight under the control of a handful of former ADs and coaches while pulling massive paydays. The fought hard against NIL because they couldn't get a cut. It's all about their bottom line.

Not completely true, there are several on the coast that report each other every year, and proof has to be sent in. Rare in football, it's more common in the other sports.

Gulfport didn't really hide theirs last year and it led straight to a title, and no one said a word.

Definitely, with the multiplier the private schools won't have to travel as much as what they currently do.

Doesn't have to be Grenada. Any admin from any school district can protest it. Typically it'll be one of Winona's Region opponents.

Last time I checked isn't that a violation of the illegal recruiting rules? If you follow a coach to any school, you are ineligible for a calendar year, regardless of a bonafide move or where they reside. If someone decides to protest...

100 percent I was just trying to really show that with 7 7A programs in 3 counties the difference.

Which adds to a new question. Per some of the changes that had been made and were communicated, a student had to be enrolled and everything complete prior to starting the offseason for them to participate over the summer. Also, must be nice to have that many D1 recruits on one team. Not sure there are that many commits/recruits in all 3 coastal counties some years.

Likely not but if it's MC or NW Rankin taking your players or vice versa I can see where it causes issues. Think about on the coast where all the 7A schools are within 40 miles of each other, there are always schools filing complaints on transfers down here.

He needs to reach out to Gulfport for the QB connection. Tell Wyatt to find him a QB and one magically appears for a state title run. Keep their out of state house get the parent a job in the district and find them a place to live.. Done deal.

They have done it in the past Some teams it will next to impossible for them to compete. St. Pats wouldn't be able to compete in 5A outside of soccer. Resurrection almost didn't have enough kids to finish football in 1A shifting to 2A will be tough for them too. With the new 5/7 setup they may not have to shift to Region 3.

Supposedly a few are saying they will go independent to give them more time.

If Hancock keeps growing like it has been they will be on the verge of 7A in the next two cycles.

The mess is going to be that they are required to change schools until the enter a new level. If they are already at the HS they can stay there but if they are entering 9th grade they have to shift. Plus there is a ton of new developments that would have been in St. Martin that will now be in Vancleave.

St Martin is losing close to a hundred students maybe more starting next school year. The county redrew the district lines and are shifting students to Vancleave. Highly likely they both end up in 6A.
