Only team in the South that can win the gold ball is Picayune but Hattiesburg will be probably be hyped up and choke again!

Gulfport did!

What coach/coordinator in 7A wouldn’t have done just as good or better than Tupelo’s defense last year with the same players? My point is this… It is very easy to get complacent when you have those types of players running around and make excuses. They don’t play very hard at all. They walk around and let teams hang around that shouldn’t. If you have 17-18 division 1 prospects you should win a gold ball. Period. West Point would! Oxford would! Starkville would! Louisville would!

Thats because on Defense Jimmy’s and Joe’s cover up X’s and O’s a little more easily. Giving up 21 to Oxford and 28 to West Point and then almost being outcoached by Germantown and giving up 28 is isn’t a problem? Every starter on Defense had multiple D1 offers and Oxford has 2 kids playing college ball.

Now Vott you know if Laurel started texting, calling, messaging, etc. and bringing in your beloved Hattiesburg players on “official” visits and such you would be all up in arms. However, they may need to consider Laurel in order to actually win a ring.

Got exposed!

You could look at Tupelo players the last 2 years and they shouldn’t have lost a game. They had 3 times the athletes that Oxford had last year and narrowly managed to escape and even play in the title game. Watch their games online. They walk around everywhere and play with very little effort. If they were such great coaches why do they need everyone else’s players.

19 D1 recruits wasn’t enough for Hardin and company to win it last year and it will be the same this year also. In 7A it takes horses and scheme. One of those is lacking more than the other.

Agreed

He will keep the train on the tracks!

Been there forever. He went to West Point like 16-17 years ago after being the Head Coach at Cleveland East Side in 2012 I think. East Side went 13/14-1 that year if I remember correctly.

None. Colin Boone is the only name to consider. He went 25-1 and went to back to back state championships as a head coach at a school that was 13-21 in the 3 years prior to his arrival and went 6-6 with a weaker schedule and a PowerPoint system after his departure.

The Offensive Coordinator last year was an assistant there for several years and left Hernando to be a HFC and went to back to back state championships in MAIS as a HFC at Kirk Academy. He returned last year to Hernando as their OC so I’m betting that it was with the understanding that he would be next in line. Just my assumption.

Also looks like what the DC name would be.

Based on the region they are in they will win it every year which pretty much guarantees them a north half appearance. i could probably find a way to win 10 games at West Point and in the words of Forest Gump….. “I’m not a very smart man”. Who’s going to challenge them in the North? Cleveland - too soft Holmes - too “spread” Lafayette - too wh… I mean slow

And down goes Frazier if that is the route taken. Didn’t he last a year at Starkville as DC?

Indeed it has.

I hate to say it but it doesn’t seem to be getting better without change in city council, mayor, and school board. During the ice storm the city was without water and power and our faithful leader of a mayor was at the casino with his girlfriend shooting craps posting highlight reels. Real life!

Couldn’t the same be said of Fair leaving Grenada? A lot of thought went into that one.

Should have been much worse. Grenada dropped 3 TD passes and then gifted Oxford a TD by fumbling in the end zone. Oxford scored with 23 seconds left to cut it to 31-28. This final could have easily been 56-21. Grenada laid an egg last week versus a great Winona team but when Grenada is clicking they have the ability to be dangerous. Grenada has a Sophomore WR named Zayvion Cotton that is the real deal! 6'5 215. Runs like a gazelle. I watched DK Metcalf play his whole HS career at Oxford and this kid is the closest thing I've seen to Dekaylin walk onto that field. They have him listed at 6'5 but I'm guessing he closer to 6'7 than 6'5. I've never seen a 15 year old look like that and move that well.

7A - Tupelo 6A - Grenada (think they have a legit shot) it will be between South Panola, Grenada, and Warren Central. I think Grenada because they have always been a quarterback away from being great and they have that this year. 5A - West Point is not a sleeper but there is no need in picking one. Every challenger is down. 4A - IAHS 3A - Choctaw County Nettleton 2A - Charleston 1A - Shaw
