You're interim and you listen to Bubba he is still in charge.

How many schools are willing to lose money on a student transferring? Has anyone ever complained of having vote on students leaving? It's just a formality unless he's an all state athlete.

Yall recon Mama June will get to the chairman/superintendent on son Reynolds.

Pounds?

I believe the legislature was attempting to pass a change to the rules for preventing let's say Oak Grove or Lamar County School Board from preventing by a no vote not to accept a student from transferring from Oak Grove to Petal as an example. Then Petal School board will have a meeting to accept. They are trying to take the right of Lamar County having to accept the transfer and not accept the transfer. However MHSAA by laws allows principal and AD from Oak Grove to file a complaint against Petal for recruiting violations as currently written.

According to my research they better add some between now and October. Sumrall will need add about 5 in the current 8th thru 10 th grades. Purvis may need add as many as 20. That is to be small 5A again.

Pearl, Murrah, and Meridian. Horn Lake will remain in 7A by appx 30 students.

Research

Marcus was the fullback at Raleigh. You really see that position much anymore. That was the last years of 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Marcus could get more than 3 yards on any play if didn't bring him down. Clarkdale is on Clarke and Lauderdale line. It really is about building the right staff.

237 by the time Leake Central(2026), North Tippah(2027), and Leflore County Central(2027)are officially open by fall 2027. My numbers will not be put out as I have adjusted the numbers to 7 classes. 7A 24 schools Moving up: Greenville, Olive Branch 6A 24 schools Moving up: South Jones Moving down: Pearl, Murrah Moving in: Lefore County Central or whatever they name the school 5A 24 schools Moving up: Leake Central, Corinth, Tishomingo County Moving down: Cleveland Central, Neshoba Central Regions may have 5, 6, or 7 schools 4A 40 schools Moving up: Booneville, Byhalia Moving down: Sumrall, Lanier, Purvis 3A 40 schools Moving up: Lake, Strayhorn, Clarkdale, *New Site, Belmont, Collins Moving down: Alcorn Central Moving in: North Tippah * No Football now 2A 40 schools Moving up: *Pine Grove, West Lincoln Moving down: Wesson, Water Valley, Holly Springs, Aberdeen, Thomas Edwards(Ruleville), Hatley 1A 42 schools (-4) Moving down: Leland Non Football schools currently: MSMS, West Union, Wheeler, Ingomar, Hickory Flat, Houlka, Jumpertown, Tremont, Blue Mountain, Piney Woods, MSD 31 Football schools = 7 regions of 4 and 1 region of 3, with non football schools built in. If you want to know where your school fits then I will post it?

Bubba will fool around and recommend someone from Bama, someone no one wants or a 2-8 coach.

Boyles was the coach at Pearl in 97 or 98 or around that time during the school shooting. Hall left north Ms to Wayne County and hired Marcus as assistant coach beginning in the next fall.Boyles was also asst principal. Pearl that played like 3 games in 10 days because it was October and region games had to be played. I think they played like a Thursday, Tuesday and a Friday to make it up. He took them to South state i believe. Stressful time.

Bobby Hall got Boyles away from Pearl as his assistant to relieve Marcus from the shooting that took place at Pearl.

He did say let's see if we can get there. I think he referring to yes the AD and probably the principal will present it to the school board. They will take it under advisement or get bids. In mean time smaller schools and districts will struggle to pay for it. Then the police or teachers will have to stand there to strip search you. And then comes Billy Bob with his fire arms permit and that school policy will have to be looked at. More confusion!

The executive committee has established by a vote of 11-0 a set rules and eligibility for student athletes transferring from public to public schools. Those rules will be announced when the legislature passes such law.

The executive council voted 11-0 to add metal detectors at entrance to all sporting events going forward. 1 No guns 2 automobile keys ? 3 Metal water bottles ? 3 Folding chairs ? Etc.

Executive Council has passed going forward 7A/6A/5A Regions can have no more than 7 schools per region and no fewer than 5 schools per region. This will be at discretion of the Executive Director for Reclassification. Me personally this probably will help schools like Oxford and Tupelo where Region 1 7A will be 7 schools and Region 2 will be 5 schools.

Who from Alabama has applied that will and could be recommended by the Hawthman.

I totally understand that situation. And the only solution is to put them in a region where 4 out 6 will have to travel farther for 1A Badketball Region games or have the county with 3 or 4 1A schools to consolidate.

My updated and adjusted numbers for 2027 that includes Leake Central(5A), Leflore Central(6A), North Tippah(3A) looks like: 7A 24 schools 6A 24 schools 5A 24 schools 4A 40 schools 3A 40 schools 38 football schools 2A 40 schools 1A 42 schools 32 football schools with 6 team regions in north Ms to accommodate 2 non football schools per region and 2 regions in the south with a non football region. There are currently 9 non football schools in NE Mississippi. The 100 dollar question is what do you do when 1A gets low enough that you end up with 4 regions of 3 football and 2 non football schools in each region. Those non football need to play football or else but that's my opinion. You certainly can't drop to 2 and 2. You can't drop much further without dropping 7A, 6A, and 5A to 20 schools or dropping 4A, 3A, and 2A, down to 32 schools each. Especially if your going to stay at 7 classes. I won't be surprised if they 8 classes at like 32 or 24 each. It will be a long Friday drive from the coast to Mendenhall or Bay Springs, etc for a region game with 7 region opponents.

Yes with all 7 classes being 32 and extras dropping to 1A. Changes will happen to 1A after losing 10 schools or so either way. My guess is 4 football schools per region with the 10 non football schools added to make it work or go back to 4 regions in football. I don't see going back to 6 classes.

Basketball, baseball, and softball would be 4 teams x 8 regions

Update: 2027-29 Leake Central will be in Region 2 5A replacing Sumrall. Choctaw Central to Region 3 replacing Leake Central. West Lauderdale to Region 4 replacing Choctaw Central. Mendenhall to Region 5 replacing West Lauderdale. Lawrence County to Region 6 replacing Mendenhall. Sumrall drops to 4A replacing Lawrence County in Region 7.

I am going to say with the blessing of Bobby Hall and Boyles most likely if asked to recommend.

I have been told there will be 7 schools in Region 2 5A. That leaves 4 schools in Region 5 4A. Then all schools affected will scramble to fill open dates.
