I am going to go with my Wildcats. While we do need to get better with respect to penalties/turnovers, I like our physicality on both sides of the LOS. I would venture to guess that this is most physical Meridian team in well over 10 years. Obviously that does not guarantee a win. And I know Petal is playing good football as well. Coach Boyles is an excellent coach. Like everyone else I was disappointed when he left after one year but I hold no ill will towards him. 
Our kids have developed well during the season and have confidence now. I think they will get it done despite being on the road. 
Go Cats!!!

I see where this poll is deadlocked at 50% and I can see why.  It's not about voting for who you think would win or lose, it's about voting for who has the greater advantage if they win.  I voted for Meridian simply because if they do win this game, it would carry more weight and create more shock than if Petal were to win.  That's kind of how I looked at it and if you haven't voted yet and are struggling who to pick, that's a way to look at it.

Another way of looking at it would be which team would stir the pot more with a win, and that's probably a better way of wording what this poll means.

Do not be shocked if Meridian wins this. It is Homecoming week at Petal. And unless your homecoming opponent is a really bad football team it has a recipe for an upset. That goes for any team playing a quality opponent for homecoming. Its the most difficult week of the season for a coaching staff. Senior night could be included as well.
