Well the West Point fans must have something to crow about. They’ve officially doubled in size now LOL!

Someone must’ve wanted Meridian to win this game real bad because there’s a 58-0 final score on MaxPreps for this one LOL!

Vicksburg 40 Jim Hill 0 Final/Thursday

I hear you Merlin. For some reason or another I’m not ready to put Florence on the outside looking in just yet (I may be after tomorrow), but something is telling me not to write them off just yet. I would prefer them in that 4th spot over Natchez and Brookhaven any day.

They smoked cigars after they beat Caledonia. That’s the douchy side of Brick’s family. We’ve just had fun with it on here. Brick wants them to do beer showers next LOL!

Why is there even a thread for this game? Vancleave (or Van Cleave spell check compliant) should win this thing in blowout fashion.

Mine won't be empty LOL! That Bowling Green game is the one that us working class folks can afford. If somebody wants to give me tickets for a conference game, I'll gladly take them.

It's all good man. I wouldn't worry about Starkville too much. Russell knows how to beat them. He beat them in 2011 for us. We've got an off week this week against PRC, so yeah it'll be pretty boring for us.

Welcome back Brick. How ya been? I think New Hope needs to up the ante and bust out the 12 year Dickel if they win the Region 1-5A district championship.

I’m not sure how I’m supposed to format this, but here it goes: East Central gets a win over West Harrison. This game might be a little bit competitive early on, but I think East Central pulls away late and ends up winning by 21. Florence pulls the so called “upset” over Laurel. I want Florence to win and so does calpreps. Florence has Mississippi State Commit Zakari Tillman on their team and he will be a difference maker in this ballgame. West Point will beat Lafayette simply because they’ll have a little bit more confidence. I think this game could also very well be too close for comfort.

It’s a joke. Relax LOL! I have no idea what the Facebook group is. I haven’t had a Facebook in years.

You’re right. West Point ain’t used to losing skids that last over 9 months. I guess things aren’t the same .

I need to get out of the Sahara. I'm seeing mirages LOL!

I'll be dipped! There's a West Point fan back on here. What's a guy supposed to do here? I think I need to check my sparkalators.

Give me the cellar dwellers!!! LOL!

@BubbaJ I think partial remedy for whatever happens would be to control what we can control. The good thing about having 6 team regions next year is that we will have two fewer region games to play, which means we will be able to add two more non-region games. So that will give us more liberty to schedule tougher opponents that we wouldn't have had the ability to had we stayed with 6 classifications.

I think I get what you are saying BubbaJ. If we stay 5A, then our region competition would be a bunch of cupcakes. It's not something we can really control. If they were to put us in region 3 (which they've done before), I think we'd have a good bit more competition in region play, but our real season starts when the play-offs start.

Yes they probably will be, but how come they've never played Madison Central in football before? Aren't they right next to each other? Is there some bad blood between Ridgeland and Madison Central that they are just avoiding?

It'll definitely have the weeds taken out for sure and it'll be a fine crop of football teams in 5A.

I think the general consensus is that Wayne County will be somewhere in region 3 & Picayune will be somewhere in region 4. This could be all wrong, but that's how the trajectory is looking at this point.

I'm not trying to answer for Slick, but Wayne County should still be 5A like us next year. The unknown is how they will split regions 3 & 4. There will be 12 teams in 5A South with (2) six team regions.

I don't think we've ever had 8 home games before. That's what caught my attention as well. Maybe the conference is trying to make up for the year that we had 6 home games a few years back. Who knows? All I know is that the 2023 schedule looks much better than this year's schedule even though we play Southern Miss and Ole Miss in back-to-back weeks.

I just hate the fact that we couldn’t play Wayne County last year and there’s no guarantees that we play Wayne County this year. We’ve always had some classic and important games with the War Eagles .

So Slick do you think we’ll be in the same region together next year?
