If back to back 3-8 and 1-10 seasons were not enough to remove Lewis Sims, then he must have a lifetime contract. Pascagoula is an apathetic, high school sports town in which accountability is no longer demanded.

I think WC can be a very good team. They’re play-action game is going to be deadly with seasoning. Pascagoula, on the other hand, will be fighting for the fourth playoff spot.

It’s a wash. They aped Alabama and now Tulane.

Athletic and under coached, as always. DId Picayune change the helmet?

Any truth to the claim about the lack of practice time during quarantine?

Enlighten me on Wayne's outlook. Experienced or young team? Which system is the new coach running?

OS wins. I think Hattiesburg's speed on offense could challenge them but OS will probably light up the scoreboard. Parking tip: Park west of the stadium in front of the Tuesday Morning store. Quick access to Hwy 90 and a short walk over.

Maybe he's injury prone then.

It was worth the price of admission. Hubbard has improved as a thrower but may be one of those brittle players. The running back, Humphries, has good quickness and will pile up yards this year. Defensively, they have 6A size but not speed in the context of competing for championships. They have the best overall staff on the coast and should handle most of the teams in the region. I agree about the backup -- he looked like a middle school player. If Hubbard goes down, Pennock would probably move one of their athletes to QB and adjust the offense accordingly.

Enlighten me on Clinton. How many returning starters from '20? Players to watch? If the rain holds off, I'll be in attendance and expect a Clinton victory.

The vaccine's efficacy is preventing transmission is unequivocally waning for those who were injected months ago. It's been proven in Israel and Iceland, two countries with extremely high rates of vaccination which are experiencing massive spikes in positive cases. Thus, the call for a booster which Israel has begun administering.

I detest it. It's a typeface from an old San Diego Padres logo/identity. It's hideous and too whimsical for a proper athletic identity -- reminds me of a cartoon font. The administration, though, seems to like it.

That 'P' logo looks better than the atrocious one they have.

Maybe so but they may still practice (which is absurd) if I'm not mistaken so if the resume classes that Friday, then playing Gautier should be a possibility.

which means forfeiting the Moss Point game.

The Mississippi High School Activities Association will not allow schools learning virtually to compete in athletic competitions this fall, executive director Rickey Neaves said Tuesday. Schools that opt for at-home or virtual learning cannot participate in MHSAA-sanctioned sports or activities until in-person learning is offered. This is a change from the association's COVID-19 protocols last year. "If a school has to go virtual because of COVID, they will not be allowed to play, and any games on their schedule will be forfeited," Neaves said. "We just felt like if the school was bad enough to go virtual that we shouldn’t still be allowing them to congregate with other schools and play." “The reasoning behind that is from the governor on down we believe that the safest place for kids to be is at school. We need to encourage them to be in school."

Whitehead is retiring after this season. This has been confirmed to me by a long time teacher in the district who is in the know. Ocean Springs will win this district if the defense carries a bit of weight. Pascagoula was terrible defensively last year yet almost won 5A south due to the dynamism of Parnell so they will be difficult to handle offensively. Honestly, I'm unaware about the rest of the region but Gulfport has been the most underachieving program in Mississippi over the last 40 years given the typical quality of athlete to student ratio in their enrollment. Their incompetent coaching is unchanged so they will compete but not to their full potential. Biloxi is lacking for playmakers offensively now that Kendrick has graduated so they likely struggle scoring points. Cain is the best coach HC has ever had so they will be a tough out. d'Iberville, well, their success speaks for itself.

Does he play on offense for Biloxi?

And the superintendent remained the same.

Gautier is no threat as long as the current head coach is in place. Forget it.

Maybe. If Hubbard takes the next step, then they will be very difficult to defend but, typically, they don't have much speed on defense.

Biloxi graduated the only playmaker they've had in many a year. Pascagoula will be difficult to defend but better find some defense in order to compete for a playoff spot.

I dunno but the MHSHAA's stupid insistence on re-classifying every two years is tiring.

Pascagoula's fluctuating enrollment will probably land it back in 5A so the regions will be shaken up again in two years.

Kindly remind me of some standouts from those Rosedale squads.
