The south may not win a game this year. Or only like 2. Heidelberg and Hattiesburg. Although I kinda think Grenada may beat Hattiesburg.

A 700 student difference between a school with 119 and with 800 is a larger talent gap than one where one school has 800 and the other 1500. In my opinion anyway.

Anyone that payed half attention all year knew Brandon’s defense is hot garbage. Their offense has been nearly unstoppable however. But so far looks like tupelo clicking on all cylinders.

West Point. By 20+.

Everyone at every level in Taylorsville want out badly. Parents try to get their kids in other schools as well. Taylorsville is a sinking ship in every facet.

Because 6A north is almost as big of a dumpster fire as 5A south, overall.

LOL. Northeast Jones snd West Jones would swap places. WJ has more females than males. Or at least it did in the last few years.

I’ll be honest here. The reason there are so many flags thrown on Hattiesburg is because dude they are horribly undisciplined. A lot more flags could be thrown on them. If I were a H’burg fan I would not complain about the number of flags thrown. It’s the number not thrown that has helped you.

Expect another West Point state title.

If he has control right there with knees down that’s a td regardless if the ball popped out after his arms hit the ground.

They been that way for years. It’s why everyone says that if the can hit duece and rattle him the offense falls apart. Pascagoula tried to take him out last week all kinds of late hits.

Been bad all over all year.

Tupelo 21 Madison Central 3 final

You guys do the blocking correctly. Unlike a faux spread offense trying to be power running team that I know of. Also you guys are used to being in this position. Hattiesburg isn’t. That can play into it.

Not hard to do when everyone in the stadium knows that 7 times out of 10 he’s running to the outside of the tackle. The other 3 times it’s between the left tackle and left guard.

bahahahaha!

Nevermind

West defense last year was better than this Hattiesburg defense. But not that huge of a difference. Hattiesburg does have the best defense in the state this year. And it’s more than good enough to keep picayune from making it too close. However Picayunes defense is a veritable sieve and Hattiesburg will trash it.

Hattiesburg. By double digits. This is the best defense picayune will see since West Hones last year. And it will have similar results. Whoever thinks Brandon has a better defensive delusional. They gave up over 40 a couple times havnt they? Clinton went over 60, years

Bubba Hathorn could have won state with WJ’s team last year.

The rumors started in the spring. The head principle, the one that passed away early in the year, handled some things so it wasn’t as exposed. And these havnt exactly been a great secret. Some of it’s been circulating a while. This team had no reason not being at least in the 2nd round. And annythung less than south staye sppearance would be a let down. Everyone knew the defense lost everything and would be the question mark. If they held opponents to 20 they would be a contender. And honestly they did their part. The offense brought back all the firepower and was expected to score 35-40 every game. But that never happened. No imagination on offense, no ever changing up anything. No new formations. No developing any wr’s that didn’t have stone hands or run faster than 4.7 in 2 years with over 90 kids on the roster in a school with student population over 800 and there no wide receivers? The worst kicking game that west has had since the turn of the century? Please. If your Gona run 95% of the time and with a huge offensive line and a big rb like west had then line up under center with 2 or 3 backs along with qb. Do it like West Point and picayune has. Don’t go this spread offense bull crap with only 1 back that now has 3-4 more yards to run to get to the line of scrimmage.

The official spotting the ball.

This one closeup of downed player with ball.

This picture. The yellow circles official made the spot. The yellow line points to downed player with the ball.

West was running last night with a patchwork o line. Backup center was a big issue he kept rolling snaps to the qb. One George county recovered. Left tackle went to right guard at one point. A d line as was playing d tackle and o guard at one point. The big rb came off limping on wests 3rd possession and was out for a few possessions. And the GC qb, if west didn’t have him on the ground or he wasn’t running if he had more than 2 seconds to throw the west db’s would lose coverage and got burned. West had GC 3rd and 10 fro the WJ 45 with just over 3 minutes left. They blitzed a safety leaving zero safety coverage. This is something west frequently did and I know Hattiesburg picked up on it as they caught west several times last week with it. That qb threw a 6-8 yard post route that was caught and the only db within 10 yards totally whiffed on the tackle. Turned into the deciding td. Because west never once figure out how to disguise that blitz. West gets the ball on their 31 after kickoff. Have trouble getting the play in. Obvious confusion by the offense. Barely missed getting delay of game call, snap is bad qb recovers but sacked. No timeout called west has 2. Again slow getting the play call in and once ball snapped again it’s bad qb has to scramble but whole play busted lost more yards. No time out. 3rd down incomplete pass. 4th and 20 complete pass that looks to have the first bit a horrible spot. Turnover on downs. 1:07 left. Gc snaps the qb trots around west defense doesn’t even rush to tackle like they expected a knee. Game ends with fans and assistant coaches screaming at the head coach. One assistant in the press box nailed the box window screaming at the coach. Players have been quoted after the game telling friends and family that the coach gave up on them the last offensive possession. There has been some rumors of some behind the things going on that weren’t good since last year. Somewhat kept quiet. After the way this ended I doubt it will be for long. The west 4th down with the bad spot I’m bout to post pictures if I can figure it out.
