Dubaction Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Can someone in the know speak to what’s going on with that program? Saw where 4 kids are transferring to Winona and they lost one of the top sophomores in the state to a school in Louisiana… all in one week.

Merlin Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Grenada did not amount to much before Michael Fair took over the program. They won’t amount to much once again now that he is gone. South panola with him at the helm will win at least 1 title in the next 4 years. I do not know what led for him to leave Grenada for South Panola as some had mentioned he may have turned them down before. Or maybe it was them not wanting him at that time. And I saw mention that there may have been a rift between him and the Grenada AD. Also apparently some in SP are happy to see their prior coach leave and are not surprised by what is going on in Grenada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to say that Grenada will not be good or competitive this season, as they may well be, but its amazing how things can change in only a couple years. Two years ago one of the best in the state to now having a little bit of in house adversity before the season even starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically all the kids that are leaving Grenada for Winona transferred to Grenada from Winona when Grenada was on the uptick with Fair. Now, the new DC at Winona is coming from Grenada and getting some kids to follow. The kid going to LSU’s U-Lab high school is just LSU getting him basically “in their program” and keeping him close so other schools can’t get to him as easily. Plus in Louisiana they have “NIL” where he can make some money playing high school ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you follow a coach to any school, you are ineligible for a calendar year, regardless of a bonafide move or where they reside. If someone decides to protest...

pancho Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Naw man, just relocate to a new location. I doubt Grenada can find 2 people capable of organizing anything close to a protest dealing with this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically it'll be one of Winona's Region opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone from Aberdeen, choctaw county , nettleton or noxubee are very concerned. these folks have all made bonafide relocation moves and are gainfully employed type folks.

slicklizard Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I wouldn’t move from Shubuta to Baton Rouge if they paid me to. BR is a filthy crime infested garbage dump. Whoever these families are will be left with a bill within eight months for their stay and their kids kicked to the curb. The MS DOE needs to start drafting policies now to protect the interests of their districts. Its a few kids now but Louisiana will be embezzling your funds soon if given an inch. The MHSAA is under the same umbrella as the LHSAAA and have already been compromised in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoKnows08 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Grenada has a lot more problems than football players moving. The city as a whole is rotting from the inside out beginning with the city council, mayor, sheriff, chief of police, superintendent, school board, etc. The only thing good about Grenada is the people that have enough sense to move away from there. It will be Greenville in 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in charge is coating each others pockets and not doing their job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoKnows08 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Grenada has now lost 5 starters to transfer and a kid that was going to get a lot of action at RB had to get a pacemaker put in and can no longer play football due to health. My understanding is the kid collapsed on the field this summer and had to have chest compressions done to save his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
