Vott Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Third yr in a row petal misses the playoffs. Are their best days behind them for good if they stay in region 3 7a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubaction Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 There’s just not enough football talent over there right now for whatever reason. And I don’t think the coach they hired is any good. They’ll have to shake some things up eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogwarriorbandman Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Petal coach is being rode pretty hard in social media and understandably so. He has some good connects in the admin is what I hear but that will only carry him so long. But Dub is right they don’t have the players of the past.

For a while they were getting kids out of Hattiesburg but now those kids rather go to OG, than they started hitting up the surrounding area's getting player's and still are but they are not enough to compete! No homegrown talent and transfer portal is not as strong as it used to be there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No homegrown talent and transfer portal is not as strong as it used to be there! Hattiesburg? They were getting kids from Poplarville. Apparently they've still got a stronghold in Poplarville because I went to one of their games this year and a kid sitting right in front of me had a Petal shirt on. They may not be getting athletes from there anymore, but they are definitely getting students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubaction Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Families move a lot in the pine belt area. It is what is it is. Most of OG’s talent is homegrown now and have been together since peewee days. It’s the fastest growing area there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like 50 miles apart so it's not like it's an easy commute. What's the deal with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have no idea and geographically it really makes no sense, but Petal did get busted several years ago for recruiting players from Poplarville.

That's crazy to me. I kind of remember that though but it is a weird dynamic. I'd understand if you said a Richton or another small school in that area.

Eagleman1228 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 A little bit of everything, hardest division in 7-A, along with being one of the smallest 7-A schools. Administration would rather see students with spectacular grades and in showchoir. Boyles could coach with the best of them, I would imagine a lack of commitment from administration to the football program kind of drove him to leaving. I don’t think the recruiting is as posted above. Oak Grove has a stronghold on the talent in the pine belt right now, it’s more parents moving out there rather than kids getting recruited.

Dub312 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Prime example: Anthony Alford East Marion product until 9th grade if I’m not mistaken. Mother gets a nice job and a brand new house in Petal. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Also, Huderson, the twins from Richton, and Javon Patterson. I don’t think any of those had parents that just so happened to like the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s so not true, Duncan came from Petal, Stewart came from Georgia, Keyes came from Taylorsville, Myers came from Hattiesburg, from my understanding that’s not homegrown,. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubaction Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Ironically, Petal still has a shot at the playoffs. They need a win vs OG and a Meridian victory to get in as the 4 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pancho Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 See instant success as Amory once Glenn was gone. He's done exactly as expected at Petal. he didn't have everyone fooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigersFan Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I mean the guy has had 3 losing season in a row at Petal. Been a while since they where that bad. They passed on Corey Reynolds and look at what he has done at W.J! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
