slicklizard Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Nobody’s saying anything about any of these teams.Some of them are going to be in the playoffs for the first time in a long time. I heard Brookhaven was still bad the other night, Everyone knows what it’s like playing there in the playoffs. If they could get a couple of home games they could slip in. Florence could beat anyone in our region at home. Who knows what kind nefarious crap Natchez could bring. I know nothing of the others. Regardless I think the playoffs are going to competitive from the beginning . What about the other members of this region.

maroontide06 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Another one you could bring up is North Pike. I don’t really know anything about the Pike County schools, but they must be a little more than halfway decent. If the beating that South Pike put on PRC Friday night is any indication of the type of team you’ll get from Pike County, then look out. They may be 1 and done in the playoffs, but if they get in they’ll have to win some games to do so. This region is definitely the smokescreen of 5A South.

Provine lost to callaway convincingly. Natchez got thumped by Hancock south jones lost bad to sumrall. Florence will win that region easily.

maroontide06 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Dang, I just looked up North Pike and they are a 3 time defending district champ. They might be a tough piece of jerky to digest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroontide06 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 North Pike’s coach could very well be a prime candidate when the coaching carousel cranks back up. This is only the start of his 4th year and he’s already 26-8 with the three consecutive 4A district championships. It’ll definitely be something to keep an eye out for down the road.

slicklizard Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 Who’s going to have the default home field this season ? As a matter of fact is it even going to work the same with only a few region games now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slicklizard Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 So as of now it’s 1. Florence looks like will play the winner of Stone/EC 2. Natchez 3. Brookhaven Natchez at Brookhaven is for the second seed Thursday . I haven’t looked to see about the fourth seed. Nobody runs the wing in this region and I think it’s going to be trouble for them when they face it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wareaglefan1us Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I’m pretty sure North Pike is four seed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Pike beat Provine and Provine has to play Florence this week. North Pike has to play South Jones this week. As long as Florence beats Provine and North Pike beats South Jones, then North Pike is the four seed. I don't see any reason for that to change. It looks like Wayne County will have to travel to Florence in the first round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Stone would be favored over East Central, but who knows at this point. If Wayne County doesn't beat Vancleave they might as well put the nails in the coffin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose to Vancleave with what’s on the line we don’t deserve to pass go. That loss to Stone County was a,terrible,terrible loss.and makes me sick to remember it.

I remember when Picayune was in 4A and it was tough football every single Friday night. You never had a cupcake and you had to bring it. I remember those days as well but we both know that 4A then is basically what 5A is now with a mix of the 6A teams. Early 2000s, 4A South was arguably the strength of MS football give or take a few years. Back then you had GC, d'Iberville, Picayune, South Pike, McComb, Laurel, Wayne Co (dropped to 4A), Brookhaven, West Jones. Those were some tough outs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
