Tennessee fans will just complain about there not being an Applebee's in Hattiesburg. (They've done that before).

So is she fairly new at the AD position?

Sumner Hill - Clinton's 9th grade campus also was a high school that participated in football until it was absorbed by Clinton around 1980.

Redwood Elementary in Vicksburg was once Redwood Academy and they played football because it was a K-12 public academy. It combined with Culkin and Jett to form Warren Central.

The termites look to be the real winners. Everything else is irrelevant LOL.

Well whoever Mr. TBA is going to be, he needs to be competitive in the innings he pitches. I certainly wouldn't expect TBA to do what Tomas did last night at all.

Bryce had hit home runs before, so it wasn't a new concept for him. I just think he's more a contact hitter like Mangum, but he was able to get some pitches where he could put a good swing on them and get them out of the park. He definitely has the ability to go yard, but I think he feels getting base hits and getting on base is probably a little more productive for him. He certainly doesn't need to abandon that approach at all, but having that power option for him definitely helps.

Solid win for State tonight. Chance was a triple away from the cycle and Tomas with 13 K’s. RPI is up to #6 and Bauer did fantastic in relief.

We haven't seen ol' TBA in a while. Hopefully he won't be too rusty and can give us some quality innings on Saturday. At least TBA doesn't have to pitch two games in a row. I'd feel for his arm if he had to do that.

TBA is starting for game 3. Hopefully he does well.

Do you let tomorrow be a TBA kind of day so that you don't take Tomas and Stone out of their rotation or do you bump them up a day?

State also moved up in the RPI after last night's win, so it didn't hurt them at all.

Well that's where you have to start. You have to recruit the halls. Sounds like he's going about it the right way.

Good question. If you have crooks hiring crooks, then I don't think the status quo changes very much. Now if you have some ethical people trying to hire ethical leaders, then yes things can change. Unfortunately when power is involved, it tends to bring out the worst in folks and you wind up with corruption.

Don't forget about the elimination of 7A either, LOL. As more and more of these small schools start drying up as time goes on, I think the MHSAA will have no choice but to go back to 6 classifications. You know as well as I do that they would try everything in their power to prevent that from happening, but you can't sustain 7 classifications and justify it at the same time. Their greed and corruption would stick out like a sore thumb.

I'm assuming you follow McAdams. What do you think they will do this year? There had to have been some excitement last year to have that 4-0 start to the season. Do you think T'Darryl will have them turn a corner and win a couple of district games? I vividly remember watching him play and suit up for the Maroon Tide. I certainly hope he can get things turned around there.

Coach Grays won more games last season than they did the previous 4 combined. Hopefully he can crack through this year and pick up some district wins.

Fresh leadership at the MHSAA that isn't driven by filthy lucre would honestly be a breath of fresh air, but how would you even get to that point? You would have to bring in folks with some morals and a spine, but at that level they are few and far between unfortunately.

I'm sorry y'all are having to deal with that. I just don't think it looks good on anything though. It looks like a giant black hole that swallows everything up. If you were to put that on a black or a navy blue shirt there wouldn't be any contrast at all.

Bingo.

I think it's that "what have you done for me lately" philosophy, but as what I've brought up before it's the cannibalization factor. But it's also very possible to have a Hattiesburg/West Jones South State matchup. I do think Picayune will be better this fall, but again that means absolutely nothing at this point. They've got to get hot and have some cohesion as well. I personally want to see what happens this time around when Picayune runs into a better team in the postseason because frankly, it's coming. Does Picayune have the ability to beat a better team when they matchup with them? Sure, they have that ability but can they bring that to fruition? Those questions will be answered in due time.

We are over 212k views. That's beyond viral for a message board like this. When you are drawing water from the same well, this is probably to be expected. They just need to go dig a new well somewhere else and be done with it LOL.

Picayune has a Spring Game May 14th vs. Purvis at PRCC (Dobie Holden Stadium)

There was old fashioned hate when Picayune and Moss Point squared up. It was a dang war. Getting a win at Dantzler was a big deal.

My goodness. There hasn't been a Hancock North Central since Spring of '91.
