Brookhaven will win 5A south.  But don’t be surprised if they are playing south jones in south state. 
 

Actually over the next 3-4 years don’t be surprised if south jones plays a couple south state games.  If jones county goes through with this rumored te-drawing of lines to determine what kids go to what school northeast jones also will be a 5A power. While west jones will drop to 5A and be very average.

Why are they re-drawing district lines? I am guessing this will cause West Jones to lose a good bit of talent?

South Jones has a tough road. Wayne county then Gautier if the win in round 1. No clue what south Jones looks like but they may be too beat up from playing a big wayne county team to beat Gautier

The defending 3A champ Winona can put a depressing 5-5 regular season behind them with an upset over the 3A North favorite Choctaw County this Friday night. One of those losses was a 35-21 defeat to Choctaw County. A lot of folks have wrote Winona off but they have the athletes to pull off this revenge game. I’ll go with them as a 3A dark horse. I don’t think either have what it takes to beat whoever comes out of the south though.

Who’s you Dark horses now that the Playoffs are here?

Depending on which George Co team shows up, they could give teams trouble offensively especially if Deuce Knight is clicking. Defensively they are not good at all. Their best bet is to win a shootout. Expect all 4 home teams in 6a south to win this week

I like WJ but this is a tuff draw. If Duce Kight is not still storming the field in Oxford he and his teammates will be a hard task for WJ

I am guessing that Jones county will take a portion of students north of Laurel and put those kids in NE Jones.


Exactly.  This area has been going to west forever but a small portion used to get bused to northeast jones to keep a certain percentage of minorities in each school.  This practice ended 10-15 years ago and all these kids started going to west. Northeast jones great teams in the 90’s and their competitiveness in 2000’s is directly related to these kids.  It’s also what led to west finally getting over the hump and into the stat title games in the last 6 years.  At least 8 of wests starters including the big offensive stars are from this area.

 

Interestingly enough laurel folk also believe about half this area should be going to Laurel despite it not being within city limits.

Pascagoulas been hot the past 4 weeks, wouldn't be surprised to see them go on a run

 

I could see them coming out of the south too. Their defense is good enough to control the game if their offense can give them a little help.

 

Nobodys really talking about them but Vancleave has the capability to  surprise Brookhaven with that big running back  and clock eating offense

I know I might sound crazy for this, but if WC's offense decides to keep showing up and their athletes play hard on the defensive side of the ball, they have a legit shot at the second round. 

 

And I think you're spot on about Vancleave. Stone may have it tougher than they'd expect, but region 4 has a small chance of sweeping

Does that get Slicks favorite coach another year?


Whatever happens he will have to have had enough and leave on his own. Hathorne will never force him out. I’m hoping some of these young guys just got elected will start with some pressure on that but that remains to be seen. I can’t root for our kids to lose.
