Not West Point.

They can just as much as both if those two can beat Laurel. This Laurel team now isn’t the same as the one that played out of its mind against us or you guys. They believed that regardless of Brookhaven outcome they just needed to make playoffs and they were sure to get to south state and try to beat Brookhaven. Then they got annihilated and now they know they have no shot of getting to state regardless and word is a bunch of kids don’t see a point. Coaches have thus lost the locker room.

South 5A, and all of 5A, belongs to Brookhaven right now. Wayne County is likely the number 2 in 5A south.

South 6A is for sure “down” bathe prior 3 years. Not a one is “complete”. Hattiesburg’s offense seems to struggle, not unexpected with a new line, and the defense seems to be good but not as good as their prior 2. West Jones has an elite offense that has gone to sleep for an entire half in 2 games where they didn’t need to. But their defense is absolutely sad. They havnt given up this many points per game since the turn of the century. I don’t know enough about region 4 teams to comment. No one beating Warren Central in 6A regardless.

There’s a really really good chance Natchez actually knocks off Laurel. As well as South jones and sumrall.

Terry had the real good rb from ridgeland last year transfer to them. He could work out the west defense which still is a massive issue. West offense should not have any problems moving the ball however.

It’s supposed to only be if 35 point lead at halftime. But coaches can talk about it either way officials pre-game and decide to go it earlier if one team gets a 35 point lead. I think that is what happened with Laurel and Brookhaven. Thst game is on YouTube. Brookhaven took opening kick to the house. Laurel then fumbled vall away their first offensive snap on their own 15. Then their 2nd possession it took 2 snaps to fumble. After 3 and out on their third Brookhaven scored in 1 play. Brookhaven was up 28-0 with less than 5 minutes off the clock and ran 5 offensive plays.

They are not under any radar at all if anyone who has actually paid any attention for more than the last couple weeks.

With running clock after 35 point lead in 2nd half which does incentivize some to run it up early, they may as well move the 12 point max tie breaker points out to like 24 or more.

Did you forget that Warren Central is a 6A north team? No one in the north, nor any other 6A team, are likely to take them down this year.
