Vott Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I just got a glance at the Master Schedule for all MHSAA teams. I noticed that ST. Martin longest trip is only 35 miles playing at Hancock. Does anyone besides me like a relatively long trip or two (at least 90 miles) where you can leave work early and maybe eat somewhere that that is not in your city or town. Or do you like road games where you feel like you are at home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get prepared for region play/playoffs and not have to go far to do it, then I am all for it. If we need to take a trip or two to test ourselves, then we need to.

maroontide06 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) I liked that trip to Brandon a couple of years ago. Took the day off. Went to Bass Pro and ate at Cock of the Walk on the Res and still had time to kill LOL. Tib was there too so it's definitely a good memory.

You may find it hard to believe, but back when they were in our region, I used to look forward to that Natchez trip every other year. I got an extended weekend taking the day off from work. Found a nice place to eat not too far from the Mississippi River. All but once (maybe twice but not sure) got out of there with a win. Then on that ride home I had the high school football scoreboard show keeping me company. So all the way around I didnt mind a 2.5 hr road trip.

Rebel Bert Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Applebee's and those fancy restaurants will cost you 30 bucks a pop per person in Rankin County now. Gas station chicken it is for a road trip for many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no clue I was gonna have to finance a meal. $45.00! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs4 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Berry’s is a way overpriced. Food is okay but the price is ridiculous. It seemed like a few years ago (before COVID) the buffet was about $20 bucks a person and now it has more than doubled. So we have not been there in years.

Rebel Bert Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I have been to Berry's in Magee only twist and I know the family. I work with a relative of theirs and needless say some restaurants will be getting once a year visits and some twist a year maybe. But then I do watch what I eat now.

slicklizard Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I still enjoy a ride on Friday as much as I ever have . I will do it now once or twice a year and as you said soak it in all the way there. Npw let me be more frank , this watered down nonregion thing has killed most of my trips I used to take. It feels different when you are traveling to a game that is the equivalent to a piece of folded light bread and a hot diet coke as a meal. Yes, the clock runs and somebody wins but that's all I see is stats for the records. This needs to be fixed. More region games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOshooter Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Our coach (Casey Orr) likes to schedule at least one long trip, because he doesn’t want the kids first long trip to be a playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
