The fact that the shooting occurred on campus after the game is a problem. According to the Handbook if he ever gets out on bond or parole he will likely be banned from high school events and campuses in the state. Its likely those killed had ties to both Bay Springs and Heidelberg.

Bay Springs/Heidelberg game may not be played per sources. A forfeit maybe in play after Friday night. Forced or otherwise!

My interpretation of the MHSAA rules on page 44 of the Handbook: 4.10.10 Spectator or fan(Shooter)'s 1) Probation 2) $500 paid by the school 3) 1 yr probation of Spectator from all games 4) Other penalties as deemed appropriate for severity of the violation 4.10.11 Wholesome Competition (School) 1) 1 year probation 2) $1500 fine 3) Spectator on probation 4) 1 year no Home Games 5) Suspended Spectator from games 6) No fans at Games 7) No fans at Home or Away games School pays for hearings and meetings of the investigation by MHSAA 9) Other penalties as deemed necessary I suppose what is deemed as wholesome. Alcohol & weed on campus may very well trigger the penalties. My guess also is that tailgating and parties on campus to an end. Hard pill to swallow if fans are told to stay home on Friday nights until October 11, 2026.

If it is being played at Heidelberg then I can see it. If its at Bay Springs then maybe no fans from Heidelberg. No fans may have to be the way going forward the rest of this season.

Some sort of probation with no tailgating. I can't see punishing the team. This will be punishment of the school, probation, etc. I would hope that it won't be that have to play before empty stands for a year.

They did lose a qb to graduation. Probably somewhat of a rebuilding reloading year.

Well the FBI Director is involved with at least the Leland issue. Must be something federally involved.

Someone has to be paying the light bill or play in the dark.

With alcohol and weed on campus will Heidelberg be put on any kind of probation. My guess is no. I do believe there school will not be allowed to have an after party on campus fox x # of years involving alcohol and weed.They may not be allowed to tailgate going forward. And I am sure all schools will be herrington from MHSAA office. And I am all safety protocols and procedures will have to be updated by all.

JDC and Enterprise may be done for the year. Enterprise definitely at best 1st round beat down at Scott Central

Prayers My understanding is MBI is enroute.

North Jackson Field should be home for Lanier and Callaway. Hughes Field home for Provine and Jim Hill. South Jackson Field is the home of Forest Hill. Murrah should alternate between North and Hughes. All I will say is the officials shouldn't have let the game be played until corrections were made to the lines.

A city on the decline will give you more of this going forward. The game could have and should have been played over close to across the street from Provine which is much closer to Jim Hill and a shorter drive for Hattiesburg. Bailey Alternative High School no longer exist. Previous administration have not prioritized a safer and livable Capital City.

If Foster has some influence then who does he want the coach to replace Oxford with on the schedule.

Which state agency gave their blessings? Which school will they pick up for a replacement?

I will assume State agencies is another way of saying MHSAA and or lawyers regarding any signed 2 year document. As who is open that week in 2026 who knows.

I blew that. Executive Council is the correct title.

October 2nd meeting: A proposal to extend current reclassification cycle thru 27-28 school year failed. It would be to allow Mississippi to get on the same schedule as surrounding states. A proposal to change some language regarding summer workouts for football passed. The language will need to be cleared by a committee and revoted on in February. It will teams to play or practice against one another. Check with your coaches for further info.

I am not sure what it was about. A new principal from Jackson was hired year. There was some discussion of a change. Not sure what came of it or if its ever came to a head. I think he want Mancuso gone. Things haven't been right since winning wise. It appears that this will be 2 or 3 years without a region title. Defense obviously is having trouble keeping opponents off the scoreboard.

I will say that majority of those players are from Prentiss and not Bassfield.That coupled with people leaving the county and losing asst coaches there will be lean years in JDC. The administration wanted Mancuso gone a year or so even as late as early this year.

Tough non region schedule. You can’t count out Mancuso until he is out. It does appear they have defensive problem stopping teams from scoring. A win this week and a definite win the next week and they still in it. A lose this week and they are looking at the 4th seed. They can still win the first round. After that it gets tougher. They are definitely on a downward slope.

I am beginning to think Raleigh and Magee. The loser of JDC and Seminary next week will probably get the 4 seed specifically JDC.
