West has the better defense and Hattiesburg has the better offense. Both are real good teams and this game at Hattiesburg. Im gonna have to pick Hattiesburg in this one. I think they will make some big plays on offense and stay ahead on the scoreboard. 26 to 14 type game.

Leaning toward Hburg but I trust them like a Taco Bell fart.  They burn me every time I try to pick them.  They got so many athletes but they just don't 

If this was a playoff game, I don't think anybody would pick Hattiesburg to win it (they would have to pull the upset), but with this being a regular season game at D.I. Patrick, it just seems to line up for a Hattiesburg win.  West Jones is more than capable of beating Hattiesburg tomorrow night and it could very well happen.  Hattiesburg is going to have to play a great football game to win it tomorrow night and there's no question about that.  It should be a great football game regardless of outcome.

I am trying to figure out how those people on Facebook can believe that since west struggled vs terry and Hattiesburg beat them that that means Hattiesburg will score 30+ on wests defense.  I doubt Hattiesburg’s offense breaks 20.  Only way the do that is defensive scores or getting turnovers deep in wj territory.  
 

but then again I had to avoid that Facebook group last year because there are some morons over there. At least some of the garbage lessened a bit when laurel and mendenhall got proved to be frauds this year and their fans went silent.

How will Hattiesburg's defense fair against West Jones' offense?  If West Jones can effectively move the ball and score on pretty much every possession it won't matter what Hattiesburg can do offensively.  But this is also something that's easier said than done.

I have faith in my mustangs, but not enough to believe they will score every possession. I do believe Hattiesburg may indeed have the best defense west has played this year.  And I recognize west played like arse vs terry.  4 times in redzone and no points?  But I think west learned from that and aren’t taking things for granted, like perceived superiority, since then.  
 

I know before this season wested had 4 games circled.  Laurel, poplarville, jackson prep, Hattiesburg.  They played their best all around game vs poplarville.  Then the next week that game vs prep.  Then followed with terry who the expected to slaughter in the last day of school before fall break and a bye week.  The result was what it was. 

 

West been practicing a day or two a week for this game since the terry game (can do that when you know your two opponents in middle are no threat) And people on Facebook giving them billboard material.  The players feel disrespected. They are pissed. And if the qb can hit a few passes to keep Hattiesburg honest I think west wins by 2 scores.  24-14

Like I mentioned earlier, I like WJ chances if Hattiesburg has to drive 70-80 yards to score.

There are good athletes at the skill positions for both teams, so it really comes down to 

the offensive and defensive line play, turnovers, and special teams. I feel that WJ has a big

advantage at kicker. He was above average last year, and has only gotten better.

You don't see it often in high school football, but this may be his signature game.

West Jones 19  Hattiesburg 12.

Look at West Jones head coach the new one Corey Reynolds can't win big time games that been proven when he was at South Jones. Played Hattiesburg that year in a playoff game and got beat 50 to.0. To all you West Jones fans Corey Reynolds will let y'all down. Why you think with two go around at Petal for head coach he didn't get it because Petal know the man can't coach.

No one ever wins big at South Jones. Doesn’t matter who it is. In the last 30 years they made the playoffs 5 times, I believe he was the only coach to do it twice.  He has their only 2 winning seasons in the 20 years. That’s already not bad being there.  It’s something a former state championship winning head coach couldn’t do. He went to petal under Marcus boyles and left when boyles did.  He has rings being an assistant u see boyles at Wayne county and I think he was at oak grove for their last ring. So he has experience on several big time winning programs.  
 

But if we want to talk about a coach not winning big games I seem to recall Hattiesburg not winning big twice with extremely loaded teams with multiple d1 kids on the roster.

Corey was never a coach at WC under Boyles. He was with Bubba Davis at Petal, he also coached with Boyles at Petal. Also he played QB under Bubba Davis at WC. 
He did a good job at SJ as Head Coach. He’s been a very good assistant everywhere he’s been. He stepped in behind Scott Pierson and has done a very good job.

I mean you could throw that argument out there because until you have done it you haven’t but using a South Jones stint to prop it up isn’t that solid.

Even Breland tapped out there and execution wise he has a band of misfits looking like 2014-2015 Laurels passing attack right now. 
We will know soon. The playoffs are here and school is about to be in.

No he wasn’t he’s from here and his Mom is on the school board. When he finished college he went to Alabama and started coaching with Bubba Davis and came to Petal with him. I think he stayed on the Staff at Petal when Bubba retired and Buckley took over. Then he left Petal and Marcus left WC for Petal and Corey stayed on. You guys have a good young coach!!!
