We certainly aren't going to speculate, but it definitely has the optics of that. Whatever the reason is, it definitely seems like it's something petty. Adults need to be adults because these kids are the ones who suffer from this. It just makes things logistically more difficult as well since it's blanketed to all sports.

All I know is that you are supposed to win with class and lose with class. This obviously paints a different picture, but like you said hopefully he will come to his senses.

Could be, except I don't think it's plural. That would be a little tough to envision.

When y'all host Stone next Friday, it will be the de facto 4-5A Region Championship. It's also region 4 turn to host, so Wayne County can essentially have home field advantage until the finals. If y'all wind up with the 1 seed in Region 4 and Brookhaven gets the 1 seed in region 3 and y'all meet up in the semi-finals, they'll have to travel to Waynesboro. I realize a lot of things will have to fall into place for this to happen, but if y'all knock off Stone next Friday it's really not out of the question at all.

You can't let Wayne County's record fool you. They are getting things figured out and with the way 5A is, they could be a real threat.

Update: Below are the games that were moved to Thursday night. West Harrison at D’Iberville Callaway at Harrison Central Biloxi at St. Martin Ocean Springs at Gulfport Greene County at Pass Christian McComb at Poplarville St. Stanislaus at Stone Bay at Hancock All kickoff times will remain the same.

That and they make you leave the stadium and go back to your vehicle. At least if there's no issues of bad weather on Thursday, they get the game in which is what is important.

What did Saban say about KT? I didn't watch it, so I didn't hear it.

You want this but yet you don't want those tiny schools in Smith County to consolidate. Quit straddling the fence.

That ain't gonna happen. Keep dreaming about that.

2-3 would be a surprise for Picayune had it been a cupcake non-region schedule. It wasn’t; however, that doesn’t excuse Picayune’s performance in their losses. I think if Picayune was sitting 2-3 right now with 3 heartbreaking style losses where the losses would have been close, you wouldn’t be saying it was a surprise. Remember Picayune had 3 regular season losses when they won the 1986 state title and also got shut out by Moss Point in the regular season. In the grand scheme of things 3 losses isn’t that big of a deal in non-region play. The main concerns with that are if you continued to improve from game to game.

I don’t know where you are getting the 1-4 from. Picayune is 2-3 right now before district play.

The pipeline of tailbacks hasn’t dried up. There’s definitely some coming up. This team has just been overmatched at the LOS against better competition. That’s why they need to try to spread things out some so that it gives the playmakers in the backfield time to make plays.

I really don’t know Vott, but common sense tells you if something isn’t working to try something else. We just can’t do that for some reason and I think that’s why it’s frustrating.

@Hightidewhy were we so timid last night? We played like we were genuinely afraid of #5. Picayune normally isn’t afraid of an opponent, but you could see it in the body language.

Even if you don’t have the personnel to run the normal Picayune offense, the coaching staff needs to adapt and make changes to be versatile on offense. It feels like this team is stuck in a rut they can’t get out of. The coaching staff is just at fault with this as well.
