Is it a true rules violation, or did GCS find a loophole? I believe if they were breaking rules MAIS would step in

MAIS administration will not step in. They are enjoying the attention GCS is bringing. However, many MAIS schools/coaches are pissed the way this is being handled. MAIS leadership has always not been consistent on enforcing rules and I’m afraid if they don’t get a handle on recruiting NOW, then you will see schools split and form a new league with better leadership.

We somewhat got outcoached which is what I didn’t expect. We pretty much gave GCS the middle of the field by doubling up on Bell all night who still had a good game. But the game could have went either way. OG had several chances in the 4th quarter to win it. It was ultimately a great game between two of the best teams in the state.

My junior year of basketball my team and I were put out of the state tournament by two three star Australian “foreign exchange student” transfers at Central Private so I feel y’all pain Oak Grove fans. The MAIS didn’t care then and still won’t about GCS.

I could hire a team in Hattiesburg  area and it would be the other way around. So there you go…

You would have to go farther than Hattiesburg. That would basically be a merger between Hattiesburg and Oak Grove with a couple PCS kids sprinkled in between. It would be a good team but there would probably still be better teams out there.

With all that hypothetical fun, there is always a better team, a better player I don’t care how good you think you may be. 
 

We had our chances to win the game. They made a few more plays than we did.  I do believe with another game or two under our belt it’s a different game. We have not played anyone this year to prepare for this physical of a game.  Besides, you need to get that tail whipped every now to make you want it more.  
 

We will rebound next week at Warren Central.

I love how many people are butt hurt over this. Nobody was complaining when MRA was getting kids left and right or when JA was getting kids. Just because it’s not a “name brand” private school doesn’t mean they’re doing anything other schools haven’t done. 

Pretty much this

If they got players from all over the Delta then Oak Grove should be able to get players from all over the Pine Belt including Hattiesburg, Petal and all the Jones County teams. Then you got a fair fight.

Private schools have right to get kids from anywhere. That’s why they have their own league. OG just should have let this be a debate and not play game.

Slick, you couldn't support Wayne co 100% If they started getting players from Jones County Greene County, Quitman and perhaps Meridian? 

There’s a big difference if say a giant industry moved in bringing more families in from other places and just going around loading up football players and bringing them to a school ?. I could get used to families moving in because of my first statement but it probably wouldn’t feel the same though.Look I know most of these kids fathers ,grandfathers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts and everyone in the communities.All the former players who paved the way.Saw them grow up as I grow older. My family goes to church with their families. I knew Ronnie Green whose son played the Friday after he passed. I grieved for him and his mother. I remember Greg Miller who tragically passed way too young a few years ago. We all grieve together.That’s what high school football is to me. Like I said I would just give it up if I couldn’t have that.

How are you going to change match that with a bunch of hired guns ?

I’ll answer it for you, you’re not and any titles that you may pound your chest about will be offset by a hollow feeling that it wasn’t really complete because the spirit of sportsmanship at that level had been compromised

I don’t have a dog in this fight at all. Yes it’s in a rules violation in their bylaws. You’re right they will not step in because of the attention it draws. But those very one’s you’re saying are pissed have been breaking those same rules for decades. Granted they don’t bring in an entire team.

What does this say about the public school systems when kids want to travel 90 plus miles one way simply to go to school? I've been told that each of the players said they absolutely loved going to school there and didn't want to return to their previous school once they were exposed to something different.

Because they're not doing anything. No state testing, etc

Many Delta public schools are among the worst in the state, because many of them get little tax money due to the fact that they are in sparsely populated areas in very poor parts of Mississippi. Most Delta private schools are considerably better than most Delta public schools.

They should have won last year

I agree, but MRA now has a 6-8 center that happens to be the best 8th grader in Mississippi. Add that with a team that has only lost one contributor and you have a team that is simply too big and too loaded. Greenville Christian doesn't have the size or the star power.
