Out of those 27 schools I bet there’s 20 different districts. Cutting that by half or 2/3 would for sure save the state some payroll funds.

Tupelo was already recruiting. I have a cousin that was recruited by every school you just named. Actually Biggersville is one of the smaller school the MHSAA refused to touch despite ample evidence by several other schools admin of what they were doing. I was told up front that there was an alumnus family with money that had ties to mhsaa that kept them at bay. Actually Tupelo is one of the ones the mhsaa would target to make statement to others. Big enough it would be noticed, but not the history or pedigree of other programs. Now that they have had success a couple years if it strings out a bit they could enter that “don’t mess with them too much” status. Same with Gulfport.

MHSAA is as corrupt as it gets. They only enforce rules sometimes against some schools that they target to make examples of, and refuse to target certain others. Also all depends on who a given coach/school/rich fan has pull with on the council.

I know. I’m just giving yall a hard time in this slow season. There’s another from NW rankin that’s a basketball player also that yall trying to get. A lot of kids all over the state go to various camps and get in text/message groups either each other through various apps and such. And some are actively using this to convince others to come join them x team and what not. Particularly if one of the other kids have family in an area. Some coaches get them as well. This is also partly why some kids parade they are moving on social media like the college kids do. MHSAA is aware and won’t or can’t do anything about it unless a coach complains. And even then MHSAA is limited. Most coaches do not want to hold kids back that do not want to play for them. Only coaches who are butthurt at the kid or the school they are going too will say anything. And in almost every case if kids parents or school district take things to court against mhsaa if they stop a kid then judge almost always rules against mhsaa as they have no legal authority. This is why many trying to get senate to pass laws and possibly reformat the mhsaa.

Looks like Hattiesburg’s poor performance at WR in the spring game convinced them to go recruit some wr’s to transfer in. 6’3 kid from fcahs and a kid from Brandon

Other than 1 guy on each o and d line, Hattiesburg’s lines looked…………(thinking of a descriptive word)…..,,…lesser, than they have in a few years. Heidelbergs lines handled them. The d backfield also looked very vulnerable.

I’m convinced the only reason Heidelberg didn’t win 2A last year was Carter had checked out and was focusing on trying to find a job elsewhere.

That’s what happens when a proud program has spent some time being strangled then makes a change. WJ, which had over 80 kids returning for football anyway has well over 100 come out after the kids returned from Christmas break. I had heard it was about 130. And jr high team has over 70. One thing that had been kept kind of quiet was how many had left the team or didn’t move up after jr high due the actions of the former hc. WJ was going to have proportionately smaller number of juniors this next season than it would seniors or sophomores for this reason.

I’m not very savvy with this AI stuff I couldn’t get it to put the exact logo that’s on Wayne counties field on the truck.

probably 10 years unless they get the turf replaced.

Heard Craft will be unable to play for Heidelberg next year as he will be 19 before the season. Supposedly his family has been trying to get him ready to get qualified to enter Jones College in the fall.

Was announced on super talk as well.

The eagle looks cool. Still think they should have kept the interlocking “WC” in center

Not if the principle refuses to make the call

How do you change the mind of people who wanted their own relative, a jobless coach, to get the job? Well that was then, a couple weeks ago. And he’s one of the likely only 2 who would likely be willing to deal with this shart show now. But then you got a group that’s steadfast against him, not without valid reason honestly. However now the board has realized they got to do something cause things are out of hand and they don’t have any other option. And they almost unanimously vote to approve a certain someone only for the soon to be former principle to refuse.

What? So you have a situation of outgoing principle and interim sup wanting someone, board votes on pay, but then not wanting to vote said person in? Then finally, the board, after realizing the mockery they caused, settles on one of the only two people who may dare now take the job. Only for principle to decide he wants to farther show others the depths of his pettiness, refuses to call the person that finally actually has the votes to get approved.

Keep in mind they have an interim superintendent. Bubba is resigning as principle. Don’t think he isn’t going to try to get the sup spot.

I’m too-toeing around what is happening and why Lampley hasn’t been named the coach yet.

That school board will wish they fired him for insubordination over the Christmas holiday for him threatening them with a lawsuit over the Hankins resignation. If they do not already.

Bubba Hathorn will name himself coach before lets anyone who was on staff with or was a player under Marcus boyles be a head coach at Wayne county as long as he has any say. He will, and is trying, to torch it all to the ground on his way out before that happens.

Like Maroontide was asking, I too think Wayne should just call people and see if interested and offer who ever is. At this point no one will likely want to deal with the school, due to all the buffoonery, till there is a new principle and Superintendent in place. So you can forget going through the proper interview process from here on out. Especially with this level of incompetence coming from those who are trying to call the shots. Most coaches who have jobs lined up for next year if they want them (like current head coaches and most assistants) will refuse this job offer outright right now. You’re only options may be lampley and Corey reynolds (who as I understand will not have a contract with jones county schools after June so he will be jobless). Call one, now, offer money and get it done. In a year or two after new principle and sup in place let them decide if farther changes are needed.

Nice to see you post again wabo
