Winning 5a south is one thing… being good enough to compete with West Point is what I’m curious about now.

Wait Brookhaven beat Madison Central? That’s an eyebrow raiser

The broadcast crew said it was too crowded which wasn’t normal compared to the past.

The injuries are mainly at LB and DB actually. They haven’t been full strength at all yet but that’s only part of the problem right now

I might be overreacting…. But I’d be surprised if OG wins 3 games and I’m not kidding. I expected a big year from this group. And as it turns out they may have their worst defense in a decade.

I won’t speak generally… but in a similar situation like this I could. Didn’t the kid have surgery on his knee?

A few weeks? Wont surprise me if he doesn’t play another down for Hattiesburg

That’s fair. The better team doesn’t always win. But the better programs are more consistent. I expect Picayune to turn the tide this year. No pun intended.

If Picayune is anywhere close to what I’m used to seeing they’ll handle Gulfport by a couple of scores at least. But then again I assumed the same last season so ya never know.

Yeah the 2000s are getting foggy. I just remember that game because I went to watch a family member play at the time.

Mmm. I don’t remember every season but I do remember one season them beating West Jones when they had the Farris/Duncan combo (regular season anyway).

Man… Olive Branch used to be a juggernaut

Picayune lost to Gulfport last year????

Starkville and Ocean Springs although to a lesser degree.

03 SP is still the best team I’ve seen with my own eyes. But that’s a different subject. I think there are 5-6 legit teams that can win it all in 7a this year

Probation…. What does that entail exactly?

The usual pre season love fest for Brandon when Oak Grove is the program that actually shows they can finish the job.

Oak Grove and Brandon have been monsters in that time frame. As good as a coach as he is… Petal isn’t always oozing with football talent top to bottom. They have their years. And he probably overachieved during a few of them

Gotta be honest.. you sound like you’re not exactly in tune with what’s going on…considering Meridian was a shell of its former self when he was there. And I watched them go down to 1 seed Ocean Springs and beat them in the first round before losing to OG who won a state title that year. And before he went to Meridian, Petal was one of the best teams in the south during his previous tenure.

I actually agree with this for a few reasons but obviously… within the rules written.

Y’all have been around long enough to know what polls to take serious.

I’m told the Roberts kid was declared ineligible and won’t play for Petal this season.

While Petal does have the coaching advantage, this is a major homer take. The talent levels won’t be vastly different but Petal will be improved from last year . It’ll be a close game like it usually is and I’d be surprised otherwise.

So happy to see this thread being used for what it was meant for. Keep up the good work guys.

This is silly.
