What is Poplarville’s in that span also? They have a consistent program

Think 63-20. Impressive

Winning is all Beech does.  He’s the all time winningest coach in Poplarville history and it really didn’t take him long to pass up Morris.

Talent level definitely took a dip this year. This is probably the smallest class in a long, long time with only 7 seniors total. The junior and sophomore class have been really good through Middle School and 9th grade. Many expected us to be down and struggle some this year, but we have not looked this bad in 7-8 years. 

There were several takeaways that I saw and heard from the OS side of things:

Lack of leadership and accountability- small senior class and the juniors that were expected to step up folded rather quickly. (This is going to be a theme in most of the boys sports this year as they are all lacking in senior leadership)

They were absolutely whipped at the line on both sides of the ball. 

The players that were essentially anointed by the staff as their key players need a serious gut check and lack some intestinal fortitude that will be needed. Several tapped out and gave up before the game was over. Unfortunately two of the main ones will never leave the field since they are administrators  kids. 

It's been growing worse every year and the first game showed it that there's a sense of me over team. It especially showed when you celebrate a TD like you won the state championship while getting beat pretty handily and then throw a temper tantrum when said TD gets called back. 

This will be a long year for Greyhound Football.

Realistically, OS may go into district play 0-4 based on what I saw last week. If that happens , I don't think they can right the ship.

Several picked them to miss the playoffs as it was. The ones who picked them higher and ranked them where they did preseason was primarily due to history.
