Vance can coach circles around Lacy. But he may be a hot head doing it.

You can't really refute it. I was never a fan of Vance's antics but just because of that doesn't mean he can't coach. I asked about it in the opening and got an answer. I don't know about it's validity but it's how I imagined it would be. Neither really were at fault but were goaded into it all week . Both came in expecting a bum rush. He said she said.

Vance has got Meridian on the come up.  They are scoring some points and Vance is going to have a defense always. Just bring the same intensity against Petal. Meridian deserves to win that and Petal deserves to lose just leave it at that. That's one I'm circling .

Hattiesburg on the other hand has never really got on their feet so far with district looming.

Idk, don't get me wrong Vance has Meridian going but Vance lost way too many games at hhs because he got outcoached. Also remember when Vance took the job at hhs... Lacey was still in high-school so take that into account as well. So saying Vance can "coach circles" around lacey is kinda unfair.

good for you.    Still no comment on all the recent college talent in tupelo being home grown.  

Home grown means Lee County right? Which would include the influx of all the players from Saltillo? 

 

Wasn’t Braylon Williams a player at Baldwyn?

No he wasn't.   My mention was the recent D1 guys who were rated 3*,4* and 5*  they are all home grown from kindergarten in Tupelo.  Have a few had parents who sold a house and moved to the tupelo district? Yes some have.

Wonder if it was their idea to move to Tupelo or they did so because their child was being recruited from another area school. It’s a sad day when a great football coach that develops and cares about his kids the way Finch did/does at Saltillo steps down because another coach/school like Tupelo doesn’t care enough about him and his family than to recruit his players. Now every other child and player at Saltillo is suffering because Tupelo felt the need to hoard talent from other places. What about the born and bred kids that are now standing on the sidelines because someone moved in from Saltillo? Hardin and company may be great football coaches but the way they robbed Saltillo is not commendable. Say what you want but it’s ridiculous and no one says a word about  it and folks like you defending it will only make it worse.

 

The tide (or Golden Wave) will recede at some point and you will be right back to mediocrity at Tupelo like you’ve always been.

QB from Booneville was a 3 star before he "moved" to Tupelo.

Isn’t there also a DB from Vardaman? Maybe he moved to Vardaman as well?

Yes, I believe he originally played at Vardaman and is an Ole Miss commit but he is currently playing at Brentwood Academy south of Nashville.

I just saw that. I know THS was in the mix as a landing spot.

You are right about HHS. They have really not been themselves after that last minute collapse vs Petal. It seems like that game has just been looming over our head. Hopefully the bye week helped and the players and coaches have hit the reset button. Of course its probably only going to come down to one region game to determine the region winner.
