I think you might be on to something with that, but we’ll see though.

That must’ve been the real good ol days LOL.

That’s exactly what I was thinking of OldTiger50. Him and WABO stayed busy on this board back in the day.

Good luck against Meridian. I actually won't be too far from you Thursday evening LOL.

Defensive and testy. Someone must have stepped on your toes LOL.

Y'all play Thursday night if I remember correctly. Is that correct?

Bo knows that he's butthurt. He really doesn't have any ground to stand on.

I reckon it's the calm before the storm. That's all I can figure.

But they were still a 4 seed and they couldn’t even tread water against Hattiesburg and got shut out by Goula. Having a good player isn’t going to make or break them because it’s a team effort. Everyone else is going to have to do their job for them to improve upon their success from last season. Having a good player definitely helps, but that can only take you so far. I genuinely believe they can make some noise and are getting better, but who they make noise against remains to be seen.

PRC has been spread since Feaster took over or should I say functional spread. That’s probably a little more accurate. I’m not going to divulge into what was there previously. Now as far as them being region contenders, that very well could be a stretch. I do think they clinch a playoff spot, but I’m curious to see a few things in how Region 4-6A shapes up. First of all it’s a 6 team region with Goula, Picayune, Gautier, PRC, Hancock, and Long Beach. Let’s just take who made the playoffs last year out of this region and apply it to this year as an example. The only difference we could make is the fluidity of the seeding. If you change that up, then PRC improves their seeding by default because they wouldn’t be seeded 4th. The next question that arises is who can they beat this year that they didn’t last year in order to improve their seeding. This is where beating Goula and Hancock come into play. Last year PRC struggled against these two opponents. In order for them to improve their pecking order they need to hold serve against Gautier and Long Beach. Then they need to knock off one of these teams. If they are able to beat both Hancock and Goula, then they lock up a 2 seed at minimum. They could lock up a 3 seed if they beat either Hancock or Goula. I’m just genuinely curious to see how Goula does with their new coach and staff because depending on how they do could very much affect the seeding in Region 4-6A more so.

I remember when we beat Starkville and Oxford. Good times LOL.

I agree fully. I do believe PRC will show up and play hard, but like you said there's a lot of excitement and rejuvenation in Waynesboro. If the game is tight and close, I don't see that favoring PRC. In order for PRC to go to Waynesboro and win this one, they'll need to go up by a couple of scores very quickly and maintain that lead. This game won't be easy for PRC.

Ahhh - so the 50 piece is possible. Thanks for the confirmation on that.

Lightning delay ended up canceling Columbia and Hancock. Columbia was winning 20-7 in the 2nd quarter when the game had to stop.

Like old Movie Gallery Stadium. I still call it that LOL.

That's how it usually works.

I'm not sure if this game necessarily favored Picayune last year either. Picayune generally plays better when they aren't favored or when they aren't projected to win. If the masses project Gulfport as the favorite, then I personally like the position Picayune is in. Also, last year's win against Gulfport wasn't a fluke either. Our kicker made a difference in that game and he's back. I'm just glad we sent out Milner Stadium last year with a win. Don't know if we'll ever get a chance to play there again.

Also, whatever roster turnover there may be for either team in this game, I don't think it will play as big of a factor as it may seem. Both of these teams generally reload which is a good thing. Picayune also isn't playing this game with a half-empty cupboard either. This game feels like it may boil down to an X-factor and if that X-factor can be successful. Pay attention to the letter X LOL.

We get Jackson Academy at home the following week. I'm not as concerned with the wins and losses thing as long as Picayune gets better because these are the type of games teams should schedule if they want to do well in the postseason. Remember it's just 11 vs 11 for 48 minutes, and if you get lucky you might get some free extra football. I'm not opposed to that either LOL.

This annual heavyweight bout kicks off next Friday. Picayune managed to win this game last year and Gulfport managed to win the 7A State Title. This early in the season a game like this could go either way. Share your thoughts on this one.

Based off what I've seen, Columbia vs. Hancock starts at 6 pm.

I don't know why you would think that, but if that's honestly the case then that means that Enterprise is even beneath that. Can they break Clarkdale's winning streak against them? If not, then at least Clarkdale is staying cool and ain't frying being in the cellar. This time of year, that's not a bad place to be.

I personally am just wondering how long it'll take Enterprise to get clocked and how quickly Stringer can hang the ol' 50 piece on them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most folks want to see a reduction in 11-man classifications? I'm not talking about what the MHSAA wants or doesn't want. If there's not a reduction in 11-man classifications, then what are we really accomplishing by merging the two associations together?
