Vott Posted November 12, 2024 Share Posted November 12, 2024 Are the expectations at PCS that high that the higher ups are disappointed in the coaching or are the coaches getting fed up with the parents and administration? They have had like 7 coaches in ten years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Queen Posted November 12, 2024 Share Posted November 12, 2024 (edited) 4 hours ago, Vott said: Yep. Can only attest to what I've heard. But yeah, the environment there is difficult for all involved - the football program, specifically because they never could compete with the 6A MAIS big boys in Jackson. That's the real reason they're leaving the MAIS. It's become harder and harder for them to compete vs the 6A Big 4, and they're just done being doormats. Now the offiical line is that every team they play is in Jackson and they're tired of having to travel 1.5-2 hours for games. But honestly, what MHSAA region (besides maybe the coast?) doesn't have legit travel time to most away games? It's really not at all uncommon (in the higher classifications, especially) and honestly not that big a deal. And with no guarantee of the region PCS would play in when they announced their MAIS exit, travel time really isn't the main issue. It's that they just feel they'll be more competitive within the MHSAA. It remains to be seen if this will be true. In some sports, it could very well play out that way. In other sports..hard NO. And they're about to get a huge dose of culture shock in the process. Then there's the issue of what the school will be called now. They likely won't be Presbyterian Christian within the MHSAA. So there's a name change coming - and lots of parents are fired up about that too. They want their kids going to a named (Prebyterian) Christian school. Some have even talked about pulling out in protest and creating a new school. But idk if I see that happening. I look for an official change in name but no change in inititals, school colors or mascot. Might we see a Pinebelt Central School? Idk. Will be interesting.

s1nglewing Posted November 12, 2024 Share Posted November 12, 2024 Why would having "Christian" be a no-no? Plenty of Christian affiliates in the MHSAA: Tupelo Christian Prep.

This is what I'm saying. St Andrews is St Andrews. Sacred Heart is Sacred Heart. There's a reason they don't use the "episcopal" and "catholic" in their MHSAA names and on uniforms. Their uniforms don't say SAE. The same way Sacred Heart is not SHCS. It's SHHS. So why would we think PCS would stay PCS when the other schools don't? And if they drop the Presbyterian on their uniforms, then that's just CS. And I don't see "Christian High School" being a legit school name in the same way St Andrews and Sacred Heart are.

I can Google. I'm saying that nobody's uniform has a denomination on it, nor are the abbreviations for school names inclusive of a denomination. They are the "SA Saints" or the "SHHS Crusaders" but they do not acknowledge denomination on their sports uniforms. That's all I'm saying. And if PCS were to follow suit, then the "P" would have to stand for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1nglewing Posted November 12, 2024 Share Posted November 12, 2024 When someone posts something that is pure fiction, and then claims to know that parents are going to leave the school because of a dreamed-up delusional fallacy, I'll call BS on it every time.
