I am convinced that the reason they lost to East Webster was due to an excellently coached defense and the sparingly used best player on the field who just happened to be the backup QB from East Webster. the game wouldn't have been as close had East Webster actually played their best QB the entire contest.

Heidelberg was used to jumping on teams early and having them lay down and quit. East Webster had 18 seniors, which was actually 1 more senior than Heidelberg had. They were a veteran team that had played for a 3A north championship the year before. They were not shell shocked by Heidelberg and actually had a couple athletes that were better than what Heidelberg had. Their OL and DL line was tougher, and their WR couldn’t be guarded.

Defensively last season you could tell Heidelberg was able to just out athlete almost everybody they played. They were not very fundamentally sound. They were just superior athletically to everybody else out there. Many times they were out of position and just out there playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I've followed Carter since his fire ant playing days in tupelo and then coaching at Shannon and agree with everything you just stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK 2 be honest we lost spring games a lot over the years. Some of our players transferred to other schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just saying it doesn’t make sense to me for a starting qb and other key players to play a full game and WRs to spot play. Maybe they weren’t 100% going into the game. to be honest this is a 2nd year team the coaches and few more coaches just got here. HHS is young with talent with a lot of new faces trying to get it together. I don't think any of the transfers played Friday. We lost some players as well to transferring. By Petal game we will be a different team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slicklizard Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I. only saw that ten minute video making the rounds but Hattiesburg better step it up before Sept. gets here. I was thinking they were the favorite to come out of the south but looked to have fell off completely at the LOS on both sides. Not nearly as much size as recently and the QB looks to be be putting on a few lbs too. Heidelberg QB can throw the hell out of the football.

This also is not accurate. Heidelberg’s JV and junior high are both very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just giving yall a hard time in this slow season. There’s another from NW rankin that’s a basketball player also that yall trying to get. A lot of kids all over the state go to various camps and get in text/message groups either each other through various apps and such. And some are actively using this to convince others to come join them x team and what not. Particularly if one of the other kids have family in an area. Some coaches get them as well. This is also partly why some kids parade they are moving on social media like the college kids do. MHSAA is aware and won’t or can’t do anything about it unless a coach complains. And even then MHSAA is limited. Most coaches do not want to hold kids back that do not want to play for them. Only coaches who are butthurt at the kid or the school they are going too will say anything. And in almost every case if kids parents or school district take things to court against mhsaa if they stop a kid then judge almost always rules against mhsaa as they have no legal authority. This is why many trying to get senate to pass laws and possibly reformat the mhsaa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
