Instead of starting a new thread, I just decided to pick this one up from last year. Meridian is playing at Laurel tonight (unfortunately last years game was canceled). 
 

This year is the first time in probably 5-6 years that I feel we can compete with OG, Brandon, Pearl, WC etc. We finally have some experience and some depth. Tonight will be a good measuring stick to see how much we have improved. 
 

Lot of history here as we lead the series 44-29 with some ties in there as well. 
 

With that Go Cats!!! 

 

Good measuring stick?

An example of how inept Meridian is, on the last play of the 1st half they commit a personal foul so Laurel gets to kick off the 3rd Q from Meridian 45 yd line. The Meridian back then catches it on the 15 yd line and takes a knee. Then on the first play from scrimmage the Meridian QB throws a pic 6. Just unbelievable!!

Meridian is still having a huge problem with players and depth. A 6A school has no business only having 49 players on the team. It’s really a shame for a program like that. You can literally go to any other 6A school and not find AT LEAST 75+ players on the sideline with a lot of the metro Jackson (MC, NWR, Brandon, Clinton, etc. and Metro Memphis Southaven, Hernando, DC, etc. Tupelo and some coast teams as well with over 100+ players. Just looking through some of the teams the only other 6A team with less than 75 was SP with 71 and the a couple of JPS schools. As bad as it is to say these low numbers are also the worst schools academically as well and people are moving their kids to much better areas and schools.

At the rate Meridian is shrinking it won't be in the top classification much longer.
