Judging on most of the rhetoric online, seems like Poplarville and Gautier. Biggest might be Gautier, just because no one is even entertaining a conversation about them haha.

Didn't see it but saw one of their defensive players got himself 5 sacks in the game. Sounds like poor protection had a hand in it

Wayne played a hell of a game. Some will criticize them going for 2 on that last score but they were running it down the D's throat. Logically it made sense

Wow that's a great comprehensive list! I find it super interesting that GC is third on that list. I feel like size and athletes coupled with the community might make it a #1 spot. I am definitely ignorant to a lot of the differences in each place, though.

If you had to make a top 5 list, ranking the best open HC positions right now, who would you have in that list? If the rumors about Goula are true, I'd have to imagine that's a pretty top destination. Moss Point would've been pretty good if they had dropped down to 3A, but staying in 4A I think really hurts their desirability. Somewhat ignorant of all the vacancies, but interested in opinions.

Mostly just home field and the first playoff game. I was surprised to see OG give up 20 to Biloxi in any capacity so OS should realistically be able to put up 28-35. And Biloxi has a great defense most of the time, but OS's is no slouch. I think OG has a great chance at winning too, just think OS can adjust and win. But I'm leaning towards 55% OS, 45 % OG.

I think OS should win, but I find it hard to ever trust them too much in the playoffs

What facebook page? I feel like I haven't found many active ones on there, but I'm probably not looking enough.

I know I might sound crazy for this, but if WC's offense decides to keep showing up and their athletes play hard on the defensive side of the ball, they have a legit shot at the second round. And I think you're spot on about Vancleave. Stone may have it tougher than they'd expect, but region 4 has a small chance of sweeping

I feel like Pascagoula is really the only team who might lose at home, just due to how inconsistent they can look at times.

WCs offense seems to have come alive in that past couple of weeks. If they manage to keep this going, they have a realistic shot at making it to Round 2.

Since we're talking about South 5A and have all these different possibilities because literally every single team somehow still has a way to make it into playoffs - what scenario would y'all be fans us in terms of matchups? We know Gautier will be going against Natchez. Rematch from last year with two high powered offenses. But what matchups would you guys be interested in? I think Wayne v Brookhaven would be pretty funny. Vancleave vs Florence and Stone v South Jones would both be pretty entertaining matchups.

I'd say on paper, Vancleave is overachieving. Think the players have really bought in. Gautier is generally under sized compared to most teams they play against, but manage to scheme right. Laurel and Wayne County heavily underachieving due to coaching cause their rosters have some dudes on them.

That Picayune team in 22 was about as stacked as any team in recent history though. Could throw a dart with your eyes closed at that team and you'd hit a D1 starter haha

5A South region could have the seeding pretty much decided this next week
