Shannon is in a similar boat to Aberdeen in my opinion from what little I read about them in my area however I do read the Daily Journal from time to time and I listen to and check their scores each Friday. I think Shannon and Aberdeen are fighting a similar battle to one another with Shannon's probably being a little tougher due to competition from the pull of Tupelo in the area. After Shannon being down for so long its hard to get people (especially admin) back on board with seeing the importance of a strong athletics program as a vehicle for student athletes that might not ever have the opportunity to better themselves or their families without athletics. We are all blessed by the LORD with gifts and His timing is perfect in all that happens. I believe the staff that is there currently is making strides in the right direction that weren't being made in years prior. If anyone knows what football or any extracurricular activity can do in the life of a young man or woman then it should be Coach Topps. - North 4A is Louisville Kosy Senatobia New Albany, Itawamba, and Shannon with the last 3 being pretty evenly matched IMO. I dont know a ton about anyone in the delta in 4A other than Clarksdale is probably in that mix also.

I have a ton of respect for what Coach Williams has been able to do there. They are making strides for sure. I would probably put them at #3 in the north behind those 2 right now. For Winona to dismantle Calhoun City 59-6 the way they did and shutdown 7A Southaven is stout. I know Aberdeen beat Calhoun City but Winona hot clocked them.

Aberdeen isn’t in the same neighborhood as Winona or Noxubee this season. They are good but not up to their class…. Yet

Tupelo, Gulfport, Oxford, and Oak Grove in the upper classifications. 6a Warren central? (Just a shot in the dark) 5a north doesn’t play defense Louisville 4A, Winona 3a, East Webster 2A, Simmons 1A in the smaller classes.

Wow!

I believe this is the proper link to YouTube link

Gulfport is in this league also. Warren Central won’t hot clock them but I expect a 10-14 point win for WC. However, I also wouldn’t be surprised if Germantown was up 3 and then WC turns it over late to give Germantown a 10 point win either.

Based on what i've read their entire secondary has D1 offers. They also have a QB, 2 WR's and a 2030 DL (Ole Miss/LSU) with multiple offers. All of this is according to On3/rivals.

I was looking at k-12. 9-12 they 390-400

Yall can say what you want to about who you think will win but I’m a Louisville Wildcat fan this Friday! Louisville fans know plenty of football outside of their zip code I can assure you that. Louisville expects their team to win and that’s why they are a perennial winner. It doesn’t matter if they’re in GTA or from NOLA, Louisville expects to win because that’s the standard. For these South MS folks that haven’t seen Louisville play this year I would encourage you to check them out online. They have PLAYERS! Especially on the defensive side of the ball and the QB #5 can go along with their stable of RBs. JC may win but I’m excited that one of these out of state teams will finally play one of the better teams in MS while they are on the up and up. John Curtis has almost 1,000 students and little Louisville has half of that. I hope they embarrass JC. Go Wildcats!

I have been impressed with what Germantown has been offensively. If they could halfway play defense they would be hard to beat. I also believe that OG can compete with Gulfport if they continue to improve. I have watched the first 2 weeks on livestream and they have a solid bunch. Just my untrained opinion.

OG defensive front is active and physical. That will carry you a long way in HS football especially in late November when it gets cold. OG defense held Starkville in check offensively and I personally don’t see many teams doing that. Also, to hold that Germantown offense to 25 seems like a loss but it is not. They are really good offensively. Last year they averaged over 40 points a game and I believe they will be the same this year.

I’ve bet on Hattiesburg to many times and looked like an idiot. I’ve watched Oak Grove and they are really good up front and physical. Seems to be Hattiesburg’s kryptonite not to mention I believe special teams will be a factor.

Oak Grove by a lot.

Wammie you know the country isn’t going to give us any respect even if Louisville rubs the floor with JC which I personally hope happens.

I have been hearing this a lot and given history Seminary fields a heck of a football team.

I am not sure. I saw some highlights on one of their players and it kind of looked like JJ McClain?

I agree with this take. Either play MHSAA or MAIS.

Always one of the most talented teams that cant seem to get over the hump talent isnt the problem.

Columbia vs Petal - Is Columbia the front runner in 4a South? I believe this game will be a good gauge of where Columbia stacks up. It is said that teams typically improve the most between weeks 2 & 3 so we will see. Hernando @ Kosciusko - Hernando definitely isn't John Curtis but they are a formidable 7A opponent. Will Kosciusko continue to roll or will Hernando put a stop their offense? John Curtis @ Louisville - I think we should all be Wildcat fans this week. I hope Louisville sends John Curtis home crying. Represent the entire state of Mississippi well this week Louisville! This is easily the game to see this Friday! Noxubee @ West Point - This game is ALWAYS highly competitive. Will West Point be 0-3 or will they right the ship? Seminary vs D'Iberville - What better way for Seminary to prove that they are a legitimate contender than to beat the team that beat Raleigh? D'Iberville why are you playing so many top 3A teams? Warren Central @ Germantown - This game is second to the Louisville vs JC matchup in my opinion. This will be a great game to see. Warren Central looks poised to run away with 6A and repeat as State Champions. They can prove it this week. Germantown was a fumble away from knocking off Oak Grove.

Completely agree. I think we learn a lot about both of these times Friday. More about Kosciusko than Louisville. If Kosciusko manhandles Hernando then they are as good if not better than last season. Louisville struggles to score although their defense is something serious. Kosciusko's offense is potent (They return 11 starters on that side of the football). John Curtis is a great football team and I know Louisville is the real deal. So they dont have anything to prove to me. I fully expect them to beat Kosciusko twice but to make the inference that Kosciusco isn't even a valid threat after they should have beaten you twice last season is foolish and quite frankly the reason that Louisville watched the championship from home last year. You can use the excuse that you had injuries all that you want to but Kosciusko had just as many injuries and both of their top WR's (McBride and Roundtree) were hurt in the second game last year and the only injury Louisville had was the RB Jernigan (sp). Kosciusko physically whipped Louisville the second game around. I don't have a dog in this hunt but I am paying attention to this match up because I personally believe it is the most intriguing match up in the North Half of the State of MS this year that I will have the pleasure of watching twice. I will go on the record of saying I think Louisville wins because it is Louisville and they have straight dogs on DEFENSE and defense wins games. Louisville also has Tyrone Shorter. But Kosciusko is one of the best teams in the state regardless of class and Casey Orr has fielded a great team everywhere he has been.

Charleston looked terrible in a 24-14 win against North Panola so I dont think they are relevant. Baldwyn STRUGGLED to beat Kossuth week 1 and then got hammered by like 40 by Booneville. No way they would compete with those teams.

I agree that this is partially true. Their schedule is laughable! Really it is. The only team that actually has a legitimate pulse in regards to their football program on Lafayette’s non conference schedule is Hernando. The reclassification has made 5A North as a whole very laughable to be honest. However, Lafayette is improved from the last couple of years and West Point is not good up front. Which is strange. Lafayette ran for 500+ yards Friday. That’s hard to do no matter who your opponent is. Do I think Lafayette will beat them NO. Is it possible if WP continues to slide. YEP!

Gonna be straight crying Jordan emoji all weeks if yall choke!

May just knock you out again?
