I just figured it may take a year or so Definitely pleasantly surprised. We knew the team would be improved but nobody, I mean nobody expected the result from Friday night. Coach Vance has gotten the kids to play together. Also off the field the kids are showing good character. We will see if we can build on this as the season moves forward. SE Lauderdale appears to be improved. Lanier beating Harrison Central was a surprise. West Lauderdale getting waxed by Seminary was an eye opener. GPT beating Yune was not a surprise but by a blow out and shut out was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoKnows08 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Meridian for sure. East Webster beating Choctaw County was up there for me also. I knew East Webster would be good again but beating Choctaw County was a surprise. Choctaw beat them last year 14-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky6617 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Nothing real super surprising for me. Meridian was surprising. I was surprised enterprise Lincoln beat North Forrest. Other than that, I wasn’t really too surprised. Edited August 30 by Chunky6617 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does Lanier winning surprise you? They have been solid a couple years and Harr Central has been terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs4 Posted yesterday at 05:17 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:17 AM Well Meridian listened to everyone pat them on the shoulder telling them how good they were and then promptly lost to Neshoba Central. I almost saw it coming. You win a game by a large margin that you were supposed be lose. But then you get the big head and lose to a team which was seemingly not even close to the team you beat.

Bulldogs4 Posted yesterday at 02:47 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:47 PM Just a classic let down after a big win. Plus give Neshoba Central credit. Playing Meridian is their Super Bowl and they played very well. Lesson learned hopefully for Meridian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 4A school would more than likely win 5a North. Problem is they’re also in 4A North with Louisville. We will see them play each other twice this year. How fun will that be!

pancho Posted yesterday at 05:30 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:30 PM It will happen. IAHS appears to maybe be the next best 4A north team now after beating Corinth last night and they should beat New Albany next week too. Interesting tidbit , Winston the Senatobia RB has approx 1000 vs New Albany over the last 3 games over the last 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccbulldog Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago I think last night was the true Meridian, some very good players surrounded by some not so good players, lots of mental mistakes, lack of focus, not really taking direction very well from the coaches. It was a game they should've won but the listed problems prevented it. And to make matters worse, Nesboba is probably the 3rd worst team on their schedule. That first week was fools gold. And I admit I was fooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasbeen67 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Both things can be true that they are improved and getting better but also have a ways to go toward consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridian kind of reminded me of State in Leach’s first year (2020). Went to Baton Rouge and beat the defending Champs (LSU) convincingly. Then promptly came home and lost to a mediocre Arkansas team. Now where Meridian is concerned, I do think we will improve from here. I will be interested in seeing how we play against Starkville. Obviously I don’t expect to win but if we can clean up some issues from this past Friday night and are competitive, I will feel better about the season going forward. We will see what happens.

pancho Posted 56 minutes ago Share Posted 56 minutes ago Up north in 4A, IAHS is probably the biggest surprise for now. They handles Corinth friday and that indicates they are ahead of where most figured they would be . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they are really bad this season but obviously they are rebuilding. Meridian is definitely improved but I feel like we are going to be inconsistent this year as the players get acclimated to Coach Vance. We could be world beaters one Friday night and then lose to the Little Sisters of the Poor the next Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree, Meridian is much better in all aspects than last year but they were historical bad last year with zero coaching. They are still not back to competing for the district crown but maybe now they can compete for the 4th playoff spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
