pancho Posted Saturday at 04:31 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:31 PM Not sure if schools like North tippah who isn't fully organized yet or North Pontotoc or New Albany put up much of a fight or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but if there were 8 or 9 schools in 4A in NE Ms they might have a reason or say in where they want to be region wise. All they had to do was ship the western most school of 6 to Region 2. Sometimes that happens to a new school. Ask Choctaw County when they first organized. The director said if your going to consolidate do it now and not next summer. Less pain and frustration from MHSAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past schools had a week to protest the classification then a week to protest regions. You don't see protests anymore. However they gave the schools a week Sept 21 until Sept 28 to correct numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 15 minutes from Clarkdale & 30 minutes from Southeast Lauderdale yet we are not in the same region?!?!?! Instead we are stuck traveling an hour & half to Megee & Mendenhall!!

They should have taken Pisgah and St Andrew's north. I instead they created a completely new weak region 6. 2 hours to McLaurin pending your direction you drive.

I think will be interesting how they draw up the region schedule. I am sure Magee and Mendenhall will play the last weak. I think McLaurin and Quitman should play first Friday in October at least u get some daylight driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably have more pull than Southeast and Clarkdale. Quitman also got screwed in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLaurin was in region 5 with Noxabee a few years back. When the classes came out the South had a 22-18 advantage. 2 schools had to go north.

When they decided to go with: 5 schools each region vs 6/5/4/4 with Union only that changed things. They could have simply sent Union and Pisgah to region 4. They obviously decided to send 3 north and leave Pisgah and St Andrew's South. If ever coaches with seniority won out it was i believe the Pisgah coach having more seniority vs the other coaches. Not by many years but they also prefer to have a Jackson area region in each class if possible. That's what they got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkdale and SE Lauderdale has to look at it this way who do you want to play Noxabee or Raleigh in a 5 team region when it could be Noxabee, Raleigh, SE, Clarkdale, and Quitman. That makes easy to say 3rd or 4th place on the road vs 1 or 2 seed at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago IF my thinking is correct in 2027 the round opponents will be R1 vs R4, R2 vs R3, R5 vs R8, R6 vs R7, 2028 R1 vs R2, R3 vs R4, R5 vs R6, R7 vs R8. So yes a long road trip for playoffs from Clarkdale to say Ripley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
