Let's just say he said no thanks. That program has struggled for several years mainly cause they don't have the Jessie's and Joes. Poor PRC. They can't get championship winning help even when they ask for it. Sounds like Jeff Stockstill made a smart choice in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerDown74 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Winona’s coach has done a great job, Newton County’s coach has them winning playoff games, Hamilton’s coach has done a good job. Really depends on what you define “best” as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slicklizard Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Mancuso has a handful of proof. Kevin Fant is coming into his own and is on the rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young coach done the street from you (Mitchell) is going to be a good one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notion that only private schools recruit is laughable at best. I've heard of plenty of recruiting on the public school side. In spite of the "argument", Herbert Davis is high on my top list. He's won everywhere he's been. Taken small schools to the big game,. Ricky Black is also a legend. Coach Goodwin is also fantastic from his record in Alabama. Lance Pogue. the Late Jack Carlisle, Mac Barnes, David Bradberry was also fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very talented team and will have bunch of returning playmakers next year. That QB is dang good. IMO should be the 3A favorite next year. Can’t wait to watch them against Amory tomorrow night.

Yeah they're relatively junior heavy. Gonna be a force next year for sure. They've got about 45 on the 8th grade team alone. Joey is loaded for the future too.

Glad you mentioned Jack Carlisle. My dad played for him at Murrah and they had a darn good football program back when he played for them. It was quite special how Jack was successful everywhere he went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not he started his career as a junior high football coach and high school track coach at Picayune in the mid '70s after a stellar track decathlon career at Mississippi State. Moved back up to his old stomping ground and well I would say he did alright for himself. Was inducted to Mississippi High School coahes Hall of Fame this summer.

No wonder the Raiders had good football teams back then. I'm referring to Picayune Jr. High when I say Raiders because back then they weren't the Maroon Tide like they are now. The high school and junior high were on opposite campuses and then they switched. When they made the switch is when the Jr. High became the Maroon Tide like the high school.

Coach Gant was only there for 1 year and he coached 8th grade which was separated from 9th grade. Dodd Lee' s dad Ezell along with Jimmy Hancock had some great 9th grade teams. It is ironic that Dodd Lee and Joe Gant went in Hall of Fame the same year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroontide06 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Just think, what if Jimmy Johnson was the head coach for Picayune instead of an assistant for one season? He was still early in his career at that time and hadn't quite yet been discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
