Well I would hope it could change one day. Recent times have proven that significant changes can be made with a certain level of awareness. Why not Perry Central? This isn’t the United States Government we’re talking about here. It’s a bunch of mentally-ill self-centered people, some of which who can barely read and write.

Coach Hood is an outstanding coach who absolutely deserves a shot at this job. Knows defense, commands respect from young men, understands well how to deal with people, and knows a wide range of coaches personally, who they are, and what they do and don't do. He is a young, energetic, high-IQ guy, and would've put together something special at Perry Central just like Coach Craig Cluff was very much in the process of doing. Before Perry Central deep-dove into their little social experiment (which has only begun to crash and burn), Gabe had a jam-up staff in waiting, and a strong offensive and defensive game plan to go along with it. But, Perry Central, if anyone knows anything about what's going on there, is in the business these days of only rewarding a certain type of coach, and coaches Hood nor Cluff fit the criteria of what is wanted at PC now. Perry Central has basically allowed a small church in the Town of Beaumont to function as their unofficial consulting firm to the Department of Athletics, and not surprisingly all of their ideas have failed miserably. The pastor of that church was actually arrested in Picayune a while back for shoplifting. Maybe if Sweet Home MBC spent more time reviewing the Ten Commandments each week more than they daydream about which coach satisfies them psychologically, this could've been avoided. But, they don't. And what's worse than their actual perceptions (which aren't rooted in reality) are the people who would take them seriously.

Seems like Deuce Knight and Kohl Fairley and their respective families both got a little antsy with their current situations in George County, made a decision they thought was right, and then homesickness hit both of the kids pretty hard. I won't speak for what's best for them in high school, because I don't know. But, I sure didn't like the idea that the University of Tennessee was about to take two really good players out of state. I want both of these guys to be special players for our Mississippi universities, wherever that may end up being. Although I can understand the myriad of reasons why, I'm still frustrated with the fact that so many people leave here for greener pastures.

I realize this is a late post (forgive me, as I'm re-learning how to do things on here), but I only live in George County now. I am no longer a part of the district, nor emotionally invested in the football program. Still, I heard they did well!

Good picks and good discussion! maroontide06, I'm formerly the poster known as 'GCRebel58'! Anyway, what are everyone's thoughts on Perry Central? I think these guys could be a sleeper.

Good to be back on here with a new profile! What are everyone's thoughts on the developing 3A South picture headed into Week 3??
