Columbia

[WarDaddy]

Chip Bilderback’s wife, Missy, just took the head women’s basketball job at Southern Miss.  Great hire!  If Chip comes home to take back over the football program, Columbia will be the BIG winner here!

4A South doesn't look to be very strong next year with the reclassification.

Wasnt going to matter. Poplarville returns almost the entire team. They had a bunch of 10th graders starting all over the field. If they don’t get too full of themselves they should dominate 4A south for a bit.

so,poplarville will stay in 4A the next 2 years?  just checking

They were young and probably over-achieved last year (which is outstanding).  They are always fun to watch and it's very easy to pull for them, but they'll be right back in the thick of it.  I'm glad we get back to playing them this year.

they are all hard nosed too.  something that is lacking in many 4A programs up here in the north part of the state.

Poplarville is and should be the favorite in my opinion.  Until they prove me wrong, they are the team to beat to win the South.

Not really true according to MHSAA. In the state championship starting line up they are losing their QB,  RB, WB,  both TEs , 4 OL, on defense they're losing a CB, ILB, SS, and 2 DEs. They did play some young guys but they had a bunch of seniors on the field.

If they lost those numbers and positions, that will be a serious hit to their talent. They will still be a tough out b/c of their system and confidence but I don't see it being a cake walk for them

Well, they have a hard time defending anyone that can spread them out and throw the football. Greene County gave them absolute fits the past two years.
