Lets discuss it next week. OG and Petal have tough opponents to play this week

[pancho]

Yes they both do.   On3 says OG has a 58% win chance on the road at Petal..........

After  further review, OG will blast Houston TN and I figure Petal beats WJ around 40-17

I could see West and Petal not even playing. 

Petal hasn't face any adversity so far this season. Every, bounce, penalty and lightning strike has went in their favor. I don't know how much longer Marcus can scheme around their defensive deficiency though. The situation is coming where the offense will be stymied and it's going to hurt in these games coming up .

Very true when you say everything has gone in Petal favor this season. Especially against Hattiesburg and Gulfport

WH and Petal may not happen.  And WJ coaches would be fine with that.  If it does happen WJ will be without 4 starters for sure. Anther 3 that may play a little but may not play at all.  They will basically be treating it as a scrimmage. WJ qb, starting rb, right guard, starting de, and a lb are all out.

DE went down the south jones game sprained ankle.  
 

O lineman down against SJ he I think had a chance to play. 
 

LB down against north pike had a chance to play.

 

QB (shoulder stinger non throwing arm) mid 4th q vs Wayne county did not go back in on 2 subsequent drives but wanted to. RB came up limping 2nd q vs Wayne and did play a handful of plays very sparingly with heavily wrapped ankle.  Both of them bring out is more of a let them heal for district play thing. 
 

There are some others nursing various things.  Backup rb may be off team. 
 

WJ will have upwards of 8 sophomores and 3-4 freshmen on the field.

Sheesh. Region play is more important. So take your lumps tomorrow night and forget about it. LOL. Thats why I am glad we dont play that 11th game. That bye week between region and non region play is a blessing

Cannot imagine a 7A and 6A programs cancelling a game because of injuries. Just next man up and make the best of it. Its not like the game counts towards the playoffs being its non region. I hope this game goes forward.

It would not get cancelled over injuries.  If it got cancelled it would be due to the weather.
