Quarterback, 2 backs with 2k+ combined yards, top 3 recievers, 4 offensive linemen, and 2 guys with over 100 tackles by looking at stats on maxpreps. Looks like they lost 5-6 on defense and only 2 or 3 on offense. Them and Nanih Waiya should decide that district again.

I think Tville will still be fine when they get to 1A play. Should be between them and Stringer for district again. Lumberton will have some athletes but they are losing 10-12 seniors including most of their o-line which was their strength. Richton had a decent year and returns some players on both sides, but I don’t think they will be much of a threat along with Resurrection. As long as Agee doesn’t schedule super tough non-district I think a 6-8 win season is realistic.

In 1A south, Simmons should be the definite favorite to start the season. I think they lost 7 seniors, but most of their playmakers on both sides of the ball are returning. Only real loss that comes to mind is their QB who also played in the secondary. Stringer does have a good group coming back and should be in the mix for the south along with Nanih Waiya who similar to Stringer lost a good group but still has some playmakers returning. Taylorsville is losing a whole lot to graduation and will be young in several areas, but I feel like they will still find a way to be competitive in 1A at least. Not really sure about 1A north, but after doing some research Leflore County is a team that draws my interest. They return 60-70% of their offensive and defensive production after going 9-4 this season and losing in the 3rd round to Calhoun City. Calhoun City (similar to Taylorsville) is graduating a good group of seniors, but I am sure they will find a way to reload and still be in the running for North State. Biggersville lost a good bit of seniors as well from what i’m seeing, but they should still be a contender. Overall, I say 1A should lean more towards the south this year, with Simmons being the early overall favorite.

Unfortunately you are probably right. They will be just as tough in 2026 as well. I think they will revert back to normal Heidelberg after next season though. Karma will catch up to them eventually. I just don’t think it will be on the field with all the talent they have anytime soon.

Raleigh 14-7 over Seminary. Halftime

I am in agreeance on that. Simmons is pretty good defensively as well though. Definitely gonna be the best defensive team Taylorsville has played since early in the season. It should be a low scoring game. I think Taylorsville is 1-2 TD’s better, but it’s hard to win up there in the Delta. If anyone can beat Simmons on their field though it’s Taylorsville. They did it two years ago, and I think they have a good shot to do it again.

Taylorsville at Simmons should be a very good game

Not really. Just another issue to add to the pile I guess.

MAIS handbook says more than 50 males grades 8-11 disqualifies a team from playing in an 8 man championship. I just don’t really agree with schools that have the numbers to play 11 man playing 8 man. Yes they won a championship, but you played teams with half the numbers and resources you have. There’s probably several 11 man teams that have smaller numbers than them. Seems like a flawed system to me personally.

As long as Mize focuses on beating East Marion and not themselves, they should win this game and be in South State vs Heidelberg. I think when they put it all together they are a top 3 team in 2A.

I know this is not related to scores and updates, but how do you feel about River Oaks having 35-40 players and 6 coaches playing 8 man football? Even played an 11 man game against Canton Academy and won 41-11. Humphreys only has between 20-25 according to Maxpreps (which is not really reliable), but I would say it could even be possibly less than 20. Should the MAIS be regulating this better?

Do you think there’s a chance Biggersville can compete? Calhoun City looks to be on a whole different level than everyone else in 1A right now. Me personally I think Biggersville may have a better chance of giving them a close game than anyone in the south.

Don’t know how accurate this website is but it says Carter made 70k in 2024. https://govsalaries.com/carter-darryl-202140080

That’s true. Not taking away from Simmons because they are a really good team. I think they have a good chance at a South State championship repeat. I’m just curious to see how they perform going on the road 2 and a half hours to Nanih Waiya. They came out of Lumberton victorious last season after a long road trip. Can they do it again? Should be interesting

Simmons wins over Stringer 30-14. Game was tied 8-8 midway through the 3rd quarter. Simmons RB goes down with serious injury. No ambulance or medical staff on sight. Ambulance has to travel 35 min from Greenville to pick up player. Results in a delay of right an hour. After delay Simmons outscores Stringer 22-6. They will travel to Nanih Waiya next week. Curious to see how they do as a road team with all the help they get at home.

Prayers for Simmons RB. Horrific injury in the 3rd quarter of their game against Stringer.

Stringer and Simmons tied 8-8 at halftime

There are a couple 8 Man games tonight.

I agree with Lumberton Nanih Waiya prediction. Stringer and Simmons has the makings to be a good game. Hollandale is a hard place to play though. If Stringer was hosting this game, I would say they win convincingly, but going 3 hours up there is gonna be tough. As long as Stringer can contain their speed and move the ball efficiently, they have a real chance of pulling the upset. If they can pull the upset, it would be a huge win for the future outlook of their program under Brady. No matter what the outcome is going from 2 wins to at least 9 wins in just 2 years is impressive.

Tville’s defense might be the best in 1A outside of Calhoun City. Fast and physical. People wrote them off early in the year, and they have kept the receipts and proved a lot of people wrong including myself. They should roll comfortably all the way to South State.

I agree. Also add Nanih Waiya into that conversation. Tville is my favorite out of the south for sure, but they will have to go on the road for south state unless Stringer upsets through their side of the bracket. In my opinion Tville Stringer and Nanih Waiya are playing the best ball in 1A south right now in that order. Keep your eyes on that Lumberton Nanih Waiya game though next Friday night. That could be an upset.
