I have numerous family members that served in Vietnam , the Gulf War. My Uncle has passed away now but served in WWII. I have a Grandson who will be a Senior in high school next year and will enlist in the Marines.So this is a very special day in our family. Thanks to All who have served so that we can have the freedoms we enjoy. Let’s never forget those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Wayne County played Citronelle Alabama and played a very good team last night. WC looks to be a better team that last season. They are in better physical shape a lot stronger for sure. The Defense started out slow but as the game progressed they got better. Offensively they can score points but that wasn’t a problem last season. Their second year starting Quarterback looked more comfortable in his play last night. Understand this is just a Spring game so I don’t make a lot of assumptions on spring games because you’re only getting sample sizes. WC came away with a 20-12 victory and overall I believe have better talent and more depth.

Wayne County defeated a very athletic Citronelle Alabama team. They were big in both size and number. I wouldn’t mind seeing these two schools work something out to play regular season games being we’re only about an hour apart. I know you can’t make a lot of judgment on a spring game but WC showed some improvement for sure. Still need to tweak our defense a little more but it got better as the game went on. Overall a good showing.

WAR EAGLE BULLETIN Change in Spring Game Schedule Due to the threat of thunder storms Friday the Spring Game at Citronelle Alabama has been moved to THURSDAY NIGHT. Kickoff at 6:30

West Jones is also returning a lot of players on offense, the lost a few good players on defense.

I agree but from what I know right now Meridian definitely on the rebuild with work to do. Then you factor in the region Meridian is in. Quitman has the talent to compete for a title in 4A. If I’m a senior with multiple offers and already committed to Ole Miss why not enjoy your Senior campaign and maybe do something memorable.

If he wants to win he better stay at Quitman. I believe they will have a better season by far. Plus he’s already got plenty offers and I believe committed to Ole Miss

Did I miss the hiring of a coach?????

Marcus Dupree D.K. Metcalf Jerrell Powe Eddie Strong Duce McAllister

That’s what happened his uncle got the head job at Meridian. The Head Coach at Meridian was his OC at Quitman.

I’m not sure if he was offended or not but I can believe he said no. It’s going to take a lot to move him. He’s got a very young team that was playing for a state title last season. He has a group of assistants who if they’re not his family they are good friends including his A.D.

Dub I get it with you and even people working away from home. But it has definitely had a negative effect on attendance. I know WC isn’t the team they once were and that has an effect. But attendance is down everywhere even at OG. Livestream has a lot to do with it but not the only reason.

He played football at Wayne County in the mid to late 2000’s under Marcus Boyles. I don’t know where he’s been coaching and this is assuming there’s only one Gabe Hood lol

Most people will stay home and livestream the games rather than attend. I believe that has played a big role in attendance falling off.

Would be a good spot for OS offensive coordinator and former USM player Tracy Lampley.

Kevin Gandy former longtime Assistant at WC also served as HC during 2020 the Covid year. He moved on to Meridian as OC when WC hired Coach Hankins . Is the new HC at NE Lauderdale. Kevin Gandy had a long tenure at WC under Coach Marcus Boyles and then Coach Todd Mangum winning multiple State Championships with both coaches.

This would be a good spot for a young Coordinator to get their opportunity as a HC. I’ve heard about the pay their for awhile

I will be reading it that’s a very interesting subject for a high school football fan

Prayers sent to hit family and community

I was thinking when Boyles left Meridian that if Tony’s son wasn’t still in school he probably would’ve applied for the Meridian job

I have been reading this and keeping my opinion to myself. But you keep talking about reputation and facilities. Granted you guys have great facilities and with Coach Boyles who I have a ton of respect for HE has a reputation for winning. But please tell me in football exactly what has Petal won? I know Marcus took them to a championship game but come up short on a dumb rule but so be it. Nevil Barr had a few good seasons there but couldn’t get Petal over the hump. He goes to OG and turns that program completely around. Petal is a great school district no doubt but we’re talking football and championships. Hey I’m from Wayne County I know we’ve fallen off but when we talk reputation, facilities and Championships we are ahead of Petal. Kids are not worried about the facilities and reputation trust me we know. They want to win we did a lot more of that in without the fancy facilities.

I I believe I read where the linebacker Race I think was his name committed to Ole Miss. Maybe Merlin will llet us know for sure

Yes sir you are correct

He wasn’t forced out I believe it was an issue between him and administration. Also he lost his Father during his last season at WC again I’m not sure if that played into it. Now I do know a lot of people were caught off guard by it.

That’s a statement I agree with for sure. Our defensive line use to control games. That hasn’t happened since 2015.
