This game was huge in 1988. I was there. As a matter of fact I went to all of the ones in Mobile when they used to play in June. The game was very competitive when it first started.The first few actually went into overtime. But over the years Alabama grew in population but Miss. really didn't and you could really tell Alabama's coaches were much more sophisticated and while Miss. had great athletes, they usually got out coached and lost. Also, when the games first started, neither Mobile or Montgomery had college bowl games like they do now. And the game had much more interest in Alabama. It did help interest in Miss. when they starting playing some of the games in Miss. And while the move to December made sense football wise it just really became pushed to the back with all the other football going on in Dec. And now that high school players are not as important to colleges as in the past with the portal, the interest in even further eroded. So yes, I could see the States eventually pulling the plug on this game.

how in the world did they beat Picayune?

i thought they won one about 20 years ago?

why are the announcers saying Hattiesburg hasn't won a title in 100 years?

Poplarville wins 29-28

Meridian desperately needs a new coach!

Hill best player on the field

that's 4 golden triangle teams 3 pine belt teams 3 delta teams 2 three rivers teams 1 jackson area team 1 coast team

i agree with no whammies picks. Class 3 and 7 could be close. Very confident about Heidelberg, Louisville & Hattiesburg

Brandon vs Tupelo Hattiesburg vs Grenada Gautier vs West Point ? vs ? Poplarville vs Louisville Heidelburg vs Charleston Simmons vs ?

how old are those maps? There's not even any interstates on them.

that's 140 in the north, 100 in the south

eventually Collins/Mount Olive/Seminary all might be merged into Covington Co. Seminary would probably fight it. Mount Olive is really got too small to continue as a school.

If that winds up what happens then that's about the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. None of it would make any sense logically. If you got to have a 7 team region then region 4 would make the most sense, however a case could be made for region 1 to be 7 teams with Oxford up there. But it would make ZERO sense for region 2 or 3 to be 7 teams. Whatever happens, this will be the last 2 years Meridian will be in 7A. It's shrinking fast and the 9th grade number is much lower than the 11th grade number.

Having 6 team divisions with 4 making the playoffs is a joke! Under no circumstances should more than half of the teams make the playoffs. It just waters down the playoffs and results in all these 50-0 games.
