You may be completely right but these kids form friendships at these events. GC is nut that far from Saraland so they saw an opportunity. You know the coach wasn’t going to say no stay at GC. The NCAA turned a blind eye to AAU basketball for years, now they have made it legal in all sports. I promise you this is just the beginning

I totally agree with you they get exposure at these national 7 on 7 competitions. Then money gets involved from outside sources such as NIL, I don’t think it’s an overreach at all. The same thing is happening in baseball with the travel ball teams and has been happening in basketball for years.

I believe people will be surprised at the amount of YOUNG talent WC has. This is still a really young team but more experienced. The offense could be explosive depending on the style they choose to play. I think Defense will be the strength of the team although we lost our DC to administration. They moved the linebacker coach up to DC.

Expect the numbers to drop a little. I know when Wayne County a lot of the students from the three County schools went to Wayne Academy. They never built a new school they are still going to Waynesboro Central High School.

They have made a big jump athletics wise and I was told they were getting those transfers too. I get it Region 4 is the best Region by far but if there’s one team I give a shot in the first round it’s Florence. Not saying they will advance but they are well coached and have good athlete’s.

Jalen Jones Wayne County. He was one of the best receivers in the state as a Sophomore. He’s much bigger and faster now. Kid has a bright future if he’s getting it done in the classroom

Florence will be pretty good they have a good coach and are drawing some good talent from JPS

We only had a problem once and it was crazy on the administrations part. They sent reserved tickets up to Wayne County to presale. We bought tickets and got there and the seats were full of MP fans with hard hats on , face paint Ect….. the police had to come clear the seats. Across the way the home stands were almost empty lol.

That use to be one of the hardest places to play in the state. Loved the stadium being on the water. WC played a playoff game down there when Bilbo was QB/K and there was a misty rain and windy. We like to froze to death lol. But there’s a mystique about that place for sure. I hope they bounce back bigger and better.

Absolutely #12 is the real deal I hope he getting it done in the classroom. He’s an SEC receiver I promise you that. Another thing is he’s not alone he has help he’s not the only receiver WC has. The Oline and DLine is much improved, bringing back the leading tackler on Defense. Plenty of experience on both sides of the ball.

I was there and this is pretty much correct. People don’t realize what three lost seasons of kids pretty much doing what they wanted hurt. They worked out if they wanted, they had no discipline on the field…. Hankins had bring that back and our kids are bigger, stronger and faster. We have to make adjustments agreed but this will not be last years team. I see improvements on both sides of the ball plus we made a home run coaching hire don’t overlook that.

Most definitely Ainsworth did a great job building the program. My point was only that they are hiring some good coaches right now.

They haven’t been investing in Coaches like they seem to be doing now. They hired Dusty Hillman for baseball he has several state titles. Now Todd Breland in Football. I also read where they hired a new girls basketball coach sorry I don’t know her name. My point is they are going after good coaches. They had Todd Mangum he left to take the Simpson job but that’s home for him.

I totally agree with this statement. You young coaches get in the pers system and lay a foundation for your future.

He took over at Wayne Academy

WC doesn’t stream the spring games I’m not sure if MHS does or not

Now my take on Meridian they will be much improved. Hill is a beast with the ball in his hands. Unfortunately he was playing QB last night in a wildcat scheme. I didn’t see them play last season so I’m not sure if their QB graduated or what. I was told they were looking at young QB but wasn’t ready last night. They have two quick backs that would get the ball out of the wildcat and Hill can pass. Knowing Marcus like I do we didn’t see much of what he will do in the regular season. Defensively they will hit you so mouth pieces in and chin straps buckled. I think they will get in the playoffs but they are a year or two away but Marcus will get them there Meridian has too many athletes not to be a contender

Lol ok I’ve been filming games for the coaches at WC for several years including Coach Boyles years. I’ve learned through all those years don’t base you predictions of the upcoming season off of a spring game. WC is a lot bigger and stronger upfront on both sides of the ball. For most of the game the QB was able to throw the ball without much of a rush. Now I’m not saying you’re going to see Jerrell Powe and Benito Jones out there but we are better. My concern was QB and he played well last night he did throw one interception late trying to get us in position for a game winning FG attempt. Are we WC of old no we’re not but we’re not playing with the caliber athletes that we ran out during that time but they are working to get there. We have to have stability at the HC Coach Hankins is the third coach in five years we’re going to be fine.

I remember several years ago Vicksburg Gators had some issues with the University of Florida about copyrights. So it was probably a good move

I agree I like the LSU concept. But I also agree when Tony Vance took over he felt he needed mass change to get the community to buy in. It worked the kids bought in and they are winning again. The 3D design H looks better than the Burg Built but that’s a great slogan for merchandise

I thought he was referring to WC hiring two coaches from Alabama who are retired drawing State retirement and working at WC lol. But I never know what he means most of the time.

I’ve talked with a couple of friends that are retired coaches from that Highway 43 stretch. They are telling me this is a home run hire. I’ll be honest I don’t know Coach Luker but know what he’s done and it’s very impressive.

Very impressive hire
