Are they pursuing Herbert Davis from MRA again? I know they tried to hire him last time.

Well, Missy is coming back to USM. If I am Lance Pogue, I am making a massive move for the Brandon job. and Columbia High re-hires Chip. It's a shame that PCS missed out on Chip. I heard some wacky rumors like Brandon was trying to make a move for Herbert Davis to leave MRA, and then Herbert said that he was going to stay at MRA.

Packer is a great hire. He’s a talented offensive mind. He coached under Forrest Williams a while at either MRA or Stanislaus and became the offensive coordinator at Velma and has been very good. He was head coach at Simmons and did a decent job. But went back to Velma for some reason.

Any news on who the coach is?

Philip Short John White Minshew

I'd agree with that. I will never understand why they cut Williams loose. LBHS was almost at a playoff berth, when they reassigned him to be an assistant principal and they hadn't had a winning season since. I believe Williams has a great gig in Texas though.

The one with the most, I am guessing you are referring to McCarty? He’s been successful coaching everywhere. Was OC at MRA for a while and won it all at Brookhaven and had Pillow running well. I think it’s a no brainer bc he has connections with Canton since he went there I believe?

Saw a social media post about Coach Posey stepping down. I think the first place they ought to look is a no-brainer bc they have a seasoned head coach on the coaching staff. but who are we hearing for the job?

Has anyone heard anything about who is the man at Pillow? Their headmaster is now the director of the MSAIS, so its a whole rebuild there.

Lee Academy and Pillow-> the Napkin Bowl.

MRA should have a pretty solid nucleus of kids coming back. Stockett looked very good, but the team was streaky. I'm sure MRA will be good. Curious to see how much is left in the cupboard at Prep, and Hartfield will find ways to get kids to come in. I still don't understand this new system of MAIS classes, I thought they had a good one with 1A-6A, but i guess we will get accustomed to this. MRA being in the same Division as Park Place in Pearl, is very crazy to fathom.

What about Philip Wasson, and David Blount?

I can think of so many David Blount Mac Barnes Herbert Davis David King

I think Prep. Nothing against bowman, but I think Hartfield’s got a bunch of athletes but the strategy isn’t completely there. At times it feels like they play Backyard Football which is not a bad thing. But compared to Prep, where they have a reputation for always being super disciplined and excellently organlzed even from the programs inception, and with Coach Goodwin and Brewer’s D, and Billy Puckett and the talent. I think Prep takes it

There is obviously something of an issue. It’s been six or seven years since Joey Hawkins retired to return to coaching this year at Columbia. Since Hawkins left, they’ve hired three coaches and looking for their fourth. Hawkins was the third football coach in the programs history since PCS only started playing football in 2001 or 02. That’s an insane stat. Aside from Hawkins the longest a coach has been there is four years. respectfully I think this notion that the MHSAA will take issue to the name Presbyterian Christian is laughable. There are several Christian oriented schools that are or have been in the MHSAA, aka SA, Sacred heart etc. and there also have been former schools that have been in that league, like Madison St Joe, and what about University Christian School which later became Hartfield and joined the MAIS? If they didn’t make UCS change their name, I think there’s no chance for them forcing PCS to change there.
