If you wind up going to the game this Friday and sit on the Purvis side incognito, you might want to bring some chewing gum especially if you sit on the top row. You might feel the pressure change in your ears.

Apparently Manny Diaz or Jake Dickert would take the job.

Also bringing Arnett back this year hasn't panned out at all. The defense probably cost us that Oklahoma game and yes you can point to the Puckett fumble and interception, but Oklahoma was able to move the ball pretty much at will.

Purvis has a pretty good size home side. It's really tall.

How much leniency does Lebby deserve? His record is flat out awful and his press conferences aren't any better. Dude is out of his element as a HC.

The stats on MaxPreps only give the stats for 4 games which is incomplete. For the cumulative stats that it gives it has Ducksworth with 968 yards of passing and has them with 439 yards rushing with McQueen as the leading rusher at 208 yards. I realize that doesn’t paint the picture, but I reckon it’s a snippet.

I guess my eyes are just getting opened to this, but how do the 4 regions (5 - 8 ) eliminate each other because there’s like 4 sets of seeds. I know there’s an extra week of playoffs, but it seems like there’s some duplication there that you may not be able to avoid such as having to play multiple teams of the same seed.

Well you were reading my brainwave LOL. What would happen if Pass beat McComb?

@coastball the whole 4A playoff thing has got me thinking. It feels like with the Pass-Poplarville matchup, it would be a South State matchup. The reason why I say that is because I don’t think two 1 seeds can meet sooner than that. Maybe they can though as I’m not as familiar with the 4A playoffs. I honestly would be curious to know when they would actually meet up against each other.

I think the opinion of Hattiesburg/West Jones is they just need to line up and play. The chips will fall however they will fall.

It's gonna come down to that Pass-Poplarville bout in the playoffs.

Heck, I want to go back to SEC West Best LOL.

How about a PRC-Long Beach prediction?

You're right about that. Everything South wise is the same except for Pearl dropping, but like Vott said someone could go North. We just don't know who that would be.

Canton moved up to 6A from 5A.

there were 25 in 7A, so nobody had to move up. They just don't break tiebreakers, so that's why there were 25 in 7A this past cycle.

yes no lie

Another way of looking at it would be which team would stir the pot more with a win, and that's probably a better way of wording what this poll means.

I see where this poll is deadlocked at 50% and I can see why. It's not about voting for who you think would win or lose, it's about voting for who has the greater advantage if they win. I voted for Meridian simply because if they do win this game, it would carry more weight and create more shock than if Petal were to win. That's kind of how I looked at it and if you haven't voted yet and are struggling who to pick, that's a way to look at it.

There used to be another one called misshsfootball, but it died with COVID. It kept up with the district standings and also points per game. It had active teams, defunct teams, and playoff brackets. The difference with it though is that it only kept up from the creation of MHSAA to around 2020 when it stopped.

I'd like to think West Jones has the advantage in this one. With the veteran guys they have on offense and getting Pierson back, I just think things may be starting to gel at the right time for them. I feel like West Jones can get some stops on defense, but they are going to have to capitalize on them. I can also see this being a shootout type game as well. The X-factors in this game will be how the West Jones and Hattiesburg defenses perform in this one.

Probably a small number that you think is a big number because you think a 2A school is a big school LOL.

It’s a 4 way tie in Region 3-7A for 1st place.

Ahsfhs Mississippi

It looks like Region 3 has some good matchups this week with Hattiesburg @ West Jones, and George County @ Terry. The results of this week will probably determine final seeding in Region 3 since these are the 4 teams that will represent Region 3 in the playoffs.
