That’s the culture I’m talking about. We have allowed players to get away with celebrating and taunting in front of the other team after a win. You can celebrate all you want, but do it on your sideline and not during the handshake. We didn’t have these issues 20 years ago. Now it’s like it happens every other week. It starts at the youth level, and carries on up to high school now.

I just saw a video of what triggered the fight between Shannon and Pontotoc, and it was the dang COACHES that initiated the whole thing. Shannon came and celebrated near the pontotoc sideline, that angered some pontotoc coaches who had words and gestures for some Shannon coaches. Then the Shannon coach runs and gets in the faces of the pontotoc coaches and everything goes from there. Personally, I believe Shannon was the biggest culprit by showing poor sportsmanship after the game that caused the pontotoc coaches to voice their displeasure. Also, the Shannon coach is the one who ran up and then caused the whole confrontation by getting in the faces of the pontotoc coaches. If it were my decision, I would slap pontotoc with a hefty fine and probation, and I would slap Shannon with a hefty fine and a postseason ban.

Coming into region play, outside of Heidelberg, I feel good about where Mize can finish, but that’s IF our players can all get healthy and return after this week. We are majorly banged up with now, several starters have been either out or playing injured for the last 3 weeks. We have 2 or 3 more that will probably still be out this week against Heidelberg. I’m optimistic that after this week, we will have everybody back at full health. The next 3 games are at home, with the season finale being on the road at Enterprise Clarke. As for the fighting, I think the MHSAA needs to drop the hammer in a BIG BIG way. Enough is enough, and a statement has to be made to get this nonsense stopped. This travel ball, “BTA” culture that has allowed poor sportsmanship to run rampant every week has GOT TO STOP. I would consider implementing some post season bans for these teams depending on how it got started.

Mount Olive. I think their only shot to get a win is against west Lincoln in the season finale. And what’s said is even if they finish 0-10 they still will make the playoffs

Lengthy suspensions and heavy fines need to start getting handed out or this nonsense is gonna continue. Something has got to be done to rid the game of this travel ball culture.

Possibly, but I think Perry central wins that one pretty handily.

They have enterprise next week on the road, then Heidelberg. Mize is very banged up right now. We have had quite a few starters out the last couple weeks, and will still have some out next week against Heidelberg. Tonight was a MUCH needed bye week for us. Hopefully we got everybody back in a couple more weeks

This game was more than likely for 3rd and 4th place in the region. Collins likely now has to beat sacred heart to avoid missing the playoffs

Clarkdale wins 17-6 over Bay Springs. HUGE playoff implications there. Bay Springs now has to beat either Mize or Enteprise Clarke to have a chance to make the playoffs

Magee up 22-6 over JDC in the 4th Clarkdale up 17-6 over Bay Springs in the 4th Kemper County up 33-7 over east Webster in the 4th

Magee up 14-6 over JDC in the 4th

Kemper County 27-7 over east Webster at the half Magee up 7-0 over JDC at the half clarkdale up 14-6 over bay springs at the half

Kemper county 20-7 over east Webster in the 2nd quarter

It was already gonna be a long year for Tville even if they stayed healthy. They definitely didn’t need to lose their best players
