1A Week 12 ( 2nd Round Playoffs)

[greenandgoldhawk]

Congrats to the teams making it to the 2nd round playoffs. 1A north is looking to be more 1 sided contests while 1A south is looking to be more competitive this round. Which road team is looking to snatch a victory on the road? Which team will pull off the upset and continue on the road to the 1A championship game? I think the championship game is setting up to be Baldwyn vs the winner of Taylorsville/Simmons rematch from last playoff. Maybe Vardaman, Velma Jackson, and Lumberton got something to say about my prediction.

 

On another note, if the numbers seen are true and just havent been posted yet by MHSAA, it looks like 151students was the cutoff as Strayhorn, Baldwyn, Velma Jackson, East Marion, Sacred Heart, Enterprise-Lincoln, Leland, and Myrtle are heading to 2A. (3 north schools, 5 south schools) Riverside, Ingomar, Leflore County, West Lincoln, Bogue Chitto, Calhoun City, Richton, and Sebastopol are coming to 1A for the next two years. (2 north, 6 south schools). Ingomar does not play football, and Coldwater school also closed losing yet another north team leaving 1 north school and 6 south schools as far as football is concerned. My guess is that 1 or 2 south teams in the Delta or GTA will not be in the Delta region and/or GTA south region, and will be a north teams next year unless they drop 8 regions for football and have 4 regions instead.  The next question then becomes how do you divide the remaining schools into regions. Leflore County, South Delta or West Tallahatchie will likely not be in the delta region and/or somebody in GTA region 6 might get moved to GTA region 4 are my guesses.

It was weak last season with the exception of Biggersville, who was really good. I remember the good old days when 1A used to be super competitive. You had Mize, Weir, Scott Central, Durant, Calhoun City, Smithville, Pelahatchie, Vardaman, etc. All were competing and winning against bigger schools back then.

I don’t normally like to go off of what so and so did against someone compared to another but in this case I’m going to say I’ll get a better view if Simmons can be a contender against Velma Jackson by how Velma Jackson plays against West Tally. West Tally is actually a tough opponent and Simmons made easy work of them.
