HammerDown74 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Was reading some stuff from last Friday and saw where Meridian was down 30-6 to West Lauderdale and came back and lost 45-42. West Lauderdale has been a 4A contender for a few years now, so is Meridian starting to return to where it should be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridian should never be losing to West Lauderdale to begin with, no matter how down they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Agreed, we should never lose to West Lauderdale. I was not at the game nor was I able to listen to it. So I have no idea what happened. It was a very disappointing loss because I thought the team was slowly getting better. Still not where we need to be but improving nonetheless. So that game was a huge setback IMO. We will see starting tonight at Hattiesburg if it was a blip or a trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mout25 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) We definitely aren’t back,but this group of kids fights. I know injuries happen to every team,but injuries have decimated this team. We probably have 7 starters that have gone down the last 2 weeks. Most of them are on defense,and it’s hurting our defense. Our starting QB got hurt in the 3rd qtr,and we had to finish the game with our best 2 athletes taking direct snaps,and running every play in the 4th qtr. one positive is we can score,and we have scored 35+ pts every game. Also,If there is a faster kid in Mississippi with the ball in his hands than Meridian ATH Jonathan Vaughn then I wanna see him.

Bulldogs4 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Mout, I was not aware of our injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Proud of the kids for persevering last night on the road. Hopefully some of those guys will be back Friday for start of divisional play. Will be good to get back home after three straight road games.

mout25 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) It got so bad when another starting LB broke his leg Friday that we had to move the free safety to MLB. On another note #16 WR/S ,Quindarrius Jones, is off to a monster start to the season. He's a 6'3"junior,and has close to 10 td's so far this season. He'll be getting Power 5 offers.

mout25 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) I will pound on the table for this kid because I don't feel he gets the recognition he deserves. He's a good student,and he can flat out fly( 6A 200m state champion). Edited September 21, 2021 by mout25 change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mout25 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 This kid is only a sophomore,but will be a monster by the time he is a senior. I just wanted to highlight a couple of our players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mout25 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 http://www.hudl.com/v/2FsDpk This kid is a junior,and is about 6'3" 6'4" and has a lot of upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccbulldog Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 If Meridian wants to compete in todays high school football it's gonna have to start recruiting and do it hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mout25 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Meridian has never recruited,and probably never will. People that live in the Lauderdale County school districts don't want their kids coming to Meridian...period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs4 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 In the present day that is probably true. Historically, Meridian never had to recruit because kids wanted to play for the Wildcats. Obviously that is not really the case in the present day. Whether Coach Douglass can restore us to our former glory is still to be determined. However the team has made steady improvements since 2019 season which was easily the worst in school history. The team in Lauderdale County that has quietly become a pretty good team is Clarkdale. They are 4-0 and Coach Soules has done a phenomenal job building that program from scratch over the last 3-4 years. They have had zero success in football ever. So that is great story to follow and I think a lot of local people are pulling for them to have a great season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mout25 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 That's a class move ogwarrior. My nephew plays for Meridian and called me early this morning with the news. Anytime a young person with a lot of promise loses their life it's heartbreaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
