Qb for last 2 seasons was from Memphis. 

Believe he was from one of the schools in Olive Branch. Either OB or Center Hill. After 8th grade year dad shopped him around at some Memphis schools and then his middle school coach retired and went to Germantown and he transferred there with him from what I was told.

May very well take it, but heard turn down all the money last time. 

If I remember correctly, Coach Fair is from Carrollton, so Grenada is pretty much “home” for him. That could possibly be why he’s not ready to leave.

Correct. From what I understand he is very happy with his location and salary. He could have seasons like Grenada and SP had this year at Grenada and stay there until retirement. At SP, you win district 2 of 4 years and go to North State and you are fired.

If true, then the fine people of Batesville need to readjust their expectations to square with reality.

South Panola hasn't been what they used to be in a long, long time.  Doesn't mean they are bad, just means that they are on par with everyone else.  They don't completely dominate anymore.

Who do you want to see South Panola go after?

I don’t really keep up enough anymore to know who may or may not be available. I moved from Batesville to Hernando about 7 years ago and have only been to a couple of SP games since, but I do still have some contacts who know what is going on.
 

I thought Coach Oakes was a good choice when Coach Woods retired. It’s obviously not the job it was 15 years ago but I think with the right fit, SP could challenge again. I think it will take someone who can connect with the players obviously, but also with the family support of those players, and someone who will connect with the peewee league coaches who are from what I understand, former SP players. I think a coach that could tie all that together could get the program back to the top again.

 

I would like to see Coach Fair from Grenada, but as I said in another post, he’s basically “home” at Grenada, he’s doing a great job, and I don’t believe he would leave “home” to come back to SP.

All I know is we should have played y’all back in ‘03.  That’s a dang itch I ain’t ever been able to scratch LOL.

Yep, those were the days! I believe’03 was the year the win streak started with Coach Woods and I think Derek Pegues was our QB at the time. I didn’t miss many games back in those days, road or home.
