I'm certainly not trying to look too far into the future, but a Hattiesburg-George County matchup in the playoffs seems very intriguing to me.  George County has some real talent and I hope it gets harnessed properly so that it can work in the playoffs.

Problem with George County is how much can the offensive and defensive lines improve? They were not good at all last year. Linebackers were average at best. Skill group was really, really good from what I saw, but they could not block very well and could not stop much. A year of maturity may be just what they needed however.

Theres always high expectations at Hattiesburg. This years team should hone around the offensive line. This should be Hattiesburg’s best offensive line in some years and most well rounded offense since 2016 imo. Defensive line will indeed still be the strength with little to no steam lost on that front. Must find depth in the secondary.

Deonte how you been?  Long time no see.  Yeah I’m certainly not Miss Cleo and she was a fraud anyway.  My problem is I’m ready for some football and I’m curious to see how things will work out with the new classifications.  I’m still going to have trouble wrapping my head around us being 6A now because we’ve been 5A for so long.  I don’t think it will be too different since our district opponents are teams that we are familiar with even though it’s been a good minute since we played Hancock.

I've been great hope the same for you. I'm with you on having that itch for the season to start. Every year it amazes me how much football never gets old. To me it represents another year to try and go get it done. It won't be much different. In fact region 3 & 4 almost mirror each to a tee I think.

Burg Built!! Maybe the ugliest helmet concept in this state! 

I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.  Maybe you can post a picture of it so we can all judge the thing.  IMO, Hattiesburg should have never quit wearing their LSU style helmets and jerseys and we never should have put that goofy looking “P” on our helmets either.  The “P” that’s on there isn’t super terrible, but I guess I’m a traditionalist and the numbers on the side of the helmets is what I think of when I think of Maroon Tide Football.  As far as our jerseys go, our home maroon jerseys used to have “MAROON TIDE” on them and our away white jerseys used to say “PICAYUNE” on them.  Those were the days LOL!

This is what he's talking about. Nothing wrong with this helmet at all.

I agree I like the LSU concept. But I also agree when Tony Vance took over he felt he needed mass change to get the community to buy in. It worked the kids bought in and they are winning again. The 3D design H looks better than the Burg Built but that’s a great slogan for merchandise

Where were you at tonight?  You should have come over.  Picayune looked good and Coach Branch said Slidell didn’t.

Been out of commission for a couple of days with a cracked tooth. My regular dentist let me go into the weekend with it not seeing it. Endodontost snatched it out Tuesday morning . Biblical pain.

Oh wow.  Sorry you had to go through that.  Darrell played starting QB tonight for varsity because Brady has to pitch tomorrow night against East Central.  Darrell looked really good at QB though.

That is the main reason I think alot of the design issues stem from them trying to market their own thing without the possibility of copyright issues being involved. There's not alot of funds roll through so having something the community can get behind of their own and with meaning is that much better.

I remember several years ago Vicksburg Gators had some issues with the University of Florida about copyrights. So it was probably a good move
