How is anyone going to keep Louisville from going to the title game ? Who put them out last season ? How good is this new school , Leake High ? Is Germantown better than last season ?

That Gport defense has been getting loved by many in this early season. Myself included. If there is such a thing as a chin for pass defense it's about to get checked. I may have obligations in Hattiesburg that afternoon. If the day is still going good I want to see it live.

Five or six turnovers. Touchdowns call back for penalties. It’s like our focus and mindset stayed behind never even got on the bus. Didn’t even know how to go to the ground without dropping the ball on the way down. I’m rough on other people so I have to be rough here too. Our first two games our offense was the quarterback and #22. I had seen it, but I had to let it come to pass before I could speak out. Now I’m not faulting anyone because that’s the way. I would’ve played it too. Didn’t have a whole lot of time to install anything so you pick out a couple of things and you do those good. They look tired, frankly, especially our quarterback. on the positive I think he’s found a receiver that can catch. Granted, the first time he caught it he broke into the open field he committed a turnover changing hands with it. But he didn’t drop any of the rest of the game. Bad thing is they want him on defense too. While I am speaking about defense, you got to have more confidence in them kids between the 20s. I get what you’re doing till you got your feet on the ground. You were playing it safe and then picking it up when I get into red zone. Later in the game started dialing up the pressure. That worked until the offense got close enough and they started throwing to that receiver again. What I’m trying to say is take some of the training wheels off surprise some of these people between the 20s. I wouldn’t be respectful either if I ended this little summation if I didn’t mention that receiver for NWR. He killed us on third down. He can go up and get it. And I mean like go up and get it cause their quarterback was all over the place way high and this dude was fearless. There wasn’t any soft landings either he was getting thrown to the ground. I can’t believe one of those academies up, there has not scooped him up yet. Defense and a couple of missing playmakers That’s our deficiencies right now.

I ask this just as an observation of watching a few games that I have watched this season. Who has the best defense in the state? I know people off the top of their head. They’re gonna say Gulfport and yes, that defeats is nasty. Outside of them who.

No Country for Old Men The last time West Point was 0-3 was the year 2000 and the last time they were 0-4 was 1998 and they are staring 0-4 in the face with their match up with Tupelo on the horizon. (Hint-a team to keep a look out on in 5A if West Point does slip and fall is Leake High School. They are a consolidation of 2 teams that won a lot of games last year. AAAAAA is being very, very good to us Nothing to see here! Warren Central goes back to back as North champ. It’s also also looking more likely that they’re gonna repeat as state champs too since everyone in the south keeps taking turns each week of falling face first. Let them eat cake Winonas dominance is drawing a lot comparisons of Bassfield when they were capable of punching up in weight class. While those talks are fun to go back-and-forth about it can’t be fun for anybody in the south and the inability to step up and look like they’re gonna mount even a challenge. Don’t drop the soap George County and Wayne County meet this Friday in Waynesboro. Myself and many others take it only a matter of time until Wayne County starts putting fear into people again. George County hasn’t really put a fear in anyone in a while. Although they always seem right on the cusp of getting over the hump again. This will be like taking a shower for one of these teams, and at least washiing off the mud for another Friday. The other one will still have everyone else turning up their nose at them. One-way ticket If Harrison Central travels over to Tylertown and loses this Friday after taking two weeks off to prepare, just keep driving west for a while. I can’t even think of a memorable game that they played ever outside of playing Oak Grove close that one time. It’s too big of a school not to do better in football. Only one way for a smirk to leave. It has to be slapped off. I’ve heard whispers around the Petal/ Moselle vicinity of the red Panthers having the look of some program ready to join the top. The quarterback has had time to make meals for the next day standing back there so far. Let’s see what happens.. Interesting: Kemper County, Madison, Central, Columbia, Pascagoula

Curtis is not invincible. Louisville is probably gonna be more athletic than they are. The thing that sets Curtis apart is that they are gonna play the same no matter if they’re ahead by 50 or behind by 50. It’s drilled into them day after day. So if Louisville gets up on them, especially early the team leaders and the coaches have to stay after everybody else. Don’t take your foot off the gas. They will come back on you if you let up. Their game is to have a little bit of a stalemate for about half the game, then letting the grind go to work on you. Good luck, Louisville we all behind you. Curtis does have a YouTube channel.

Northeast of Jackson and southeast of it take some ponchos. Rain shoes, too.

Gulfport/ Laurel ? And is St Martin better than they have been lately ?

I get that view point but I can't get on board with it. I've got a solution for that too. Let them play some of their regions or class twice or three times if in the playoffs. Before going running hat in hand begging to let us play against your bused in kids. What if MHSAA is planning on filling out some of those classes with private schools at some point behind the scenes ? If you remember I brought this up back in the summer and pretty much everyone thought it was because of more playoff gate. I thought at the time there was more to it but didn't say anything. The man who Wayne County just ran off was a big part of that instituting more classes, He also likes to run his mouth. Just sayin

Tell that part about playing two or three classes up to Brookhaven. Rules man. Rules You assume what I mean when you mentioned IMG, Mater Dei. I assume your position comes from that of someone associated with a private school. Are Tupelo. Brandon, etc governed the same as someone like Simmons ? Is MRA governed by the same rules as far as limiting what players can play based on residence ? If it's different then that's a loophole than can be exploited. That's the sticking point . No getting around it. It may not be that big of a deal now but sometime in the near future it will. In some cases it's getting there now. If the entities aren't brought in together under the same guidelines(which. private schools will never agree to) let me tell you what's going to happen next. Some parents are going to start complaining . Legal counsel is going to get involved and next thing thing you know our high school athletics system will look like Louisiana's. It's destroyed and a joke Things aren't like they were even ten years ago. MHSAA is sitting on their hands and not adapting. Separate them now and let them go their own ways with their own guidelines. Even if MHSAA has to create a whole new division just to handle private,

I didn't see this thread it belongs here I have watched a little of petal this season. .Petal will score. Coach Boyles is gonna do that even he has to leave the defense withnot really that much to play with. That seems to be the case of yet another season. I don’t know a thing about Columbia. I know they are defending champ. If their offense, can’t put up some points against the red panther defense that’s not a good sign.

We talking about private schools brother bert. Long term how do you feel about it ?

Our heralded ninth grade team read their press clippings last night instead of showing up for a football game. IDK know the final score but Petal slapped them around hard. Petal probably played jalf their varsity but we should beat them too

That is true, but at least they are having to hide it a little bit because they know if they get caught red-handed they could face punishment. The bigger private schools aren’t even trying to hide it because they don’t have to. it makes the gap too wide talent wise for it to be functional anymore

I don’t care if they have been in there since moses wore short pants they have to follow the same rules. Hauling Anthony Dixon from Terry up to Madison Academy every day then over to Newton on Friday night to run through a bunch of tenth graders isn’t a just thing for the public school students. Nip it in the bud now before it ruins all of it

Would a coach send his kids out there playing with one foot dressed in only a sock and the other wearing a cleat ? Same thing. One has the advantage of recruiting from anywhere while the other is scrutinized. It's not fair to the players. Funny you could't get a game with private schools now that they have a talent advantage they want to quickly ok the game. Stop it's not a competition . It's a mutilation. " Oh it makes you better " . No the hell it don't. Would sending ninth and tenth graders out there against junior college players make them better ?

Says a lot about Holmes County that first game too

West Jones and South Jones moved to Thursday due to lack of refs more to come according to article

Looking like more slop for this friday

I only watched a little of the scrimmage with Terry but their QB was getting rid of the ball as soon as it touched his hands. Five or six yard passes to the sidelines. Their line was huge too . Maybe they will give us some turnovers

Columbia will be better than Ocean Springs

Forest Hill is like I remembered football wise. Leave it at that. They have fun and look to enjoy just being out there with each other . I have the utmost respect for them and their parents for suiting up and playing. Their lives will be better off for it. Someone tell me about Northwest Rankin. Their defense looks like they lack a lot of size. Our defense will have to show up and our receivers will have to catch better for us to have a chance.

I really don't know what to think about that. Off the cuff I don't like it

Who is getting the edge in Petal vs Columbia ? Petal looks to be flying high . Biloxi could be the medicine Picayune needs
