I mean Louisiana and Arkansas schools are already playing in the MAIS so thats pretty much the same thing that Florida and Alabama are doing sounds like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck depending on how many schools they have it could be less travel even to Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 If St Stanislaus and OLA go to 4A then travel will be very local until playoffs. I don't see travel other than to Tylertown in 3A bring further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MAIS was very close to merging with AISA just a few years ago. They even came together and created the SECIS along with the GISA. If all the large private schools in the south get together and create an association it could shift the system entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real large schools in the MAIS are in the Jackson area with Jackson Prep Jackson Academy MRA and Hartfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 MAIS 4A schools have enough MAIS 3A schools around to fill out a schedule with Brookhaven or Meridian being the longest travel unless they play at Magnolia Heights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
