maroontide06 Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 When the things that you are doing aren’t working, you have to do something different. We never were able to do that. Not that it would have changed the outcome, but it would have made the game a little bit more competitive and interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight was a night where having a passing attack for you guys would have probably helped a ton. Heckuva season for you guys in Picayune! 2 state titles and 3 straight south state appearances. The Stogner era started strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidesmanforlife Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Congratulations to West Jones they the best we have played in a long time.

I was thinking 17-14 type game this game was very similar to our Hattiesburg game. If west stays focused this week prepping for Grenada I think we similarly whoop them.

Merlin Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 WJ 10th grade rb had 9 rushes for 208 yards. Last year against picayune as a sophomore he fumbled a couple times, one on long run just before half that would have put west in scoring position. His tendency to fumble last year is why Wj coaches decided to abandon run for the 2nd half last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I posted in another thread west would lose 5-6 starters on defense this year. I was wrong. It’s more like 9 or 10. West defense will take step back next year. Offense returns both rb’s, qb, 2 wr’s, 2 o line with a 3rd that was in and out of starting lineup all year. west starting defense gave up 6 to laurel, 6 to Jackson prep, 7 to Hattiesburg, 7 to Hancock, 7 to picayune. And there could be a * next to the points by prep and hattiesburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis plays cornerback on defense and running back. Lost a dandy dozen cb and tailback with him not playing. Number 4 Smith probably the best player on offense went out early in first quarter. Bad luck hit us at the wrong time but that's part of football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that a valuable lesson was learned in that sometimes you can’t just stick with what’s worked. West Jones was a different type of animal and I guess we were probably shell shocked to an extent and I get that. The fact that we had no alternative offense to run is what concerns me.

Tidesmanforlife Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 We gonna lose alot on Defence and Offence as well We losing a couple running backs our Quarterback and just a couple on the offensive line. Defense we lose Hickman, Waller, J.B. Macwillams, Amari Tyson and some in the secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidesmanforlife Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 yes he is if he was 6 ft 200 pounds he would he wanted to go. If I was college coach I would sign his at least special teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidesmanforlife Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Yeah we would be unstoppable if we had some sort of passing attack to go with our running attack. We have run into teams that have totally just us down on the run game. Don't get me wrong not many have but it has been done before. I know WestJones has before on a couple occasions and a few other schools also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccbulldog Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 for the most part it was like there was a stone wall at the line of scrimmage and Picayune just kept running into it over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubaction Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Well that’s the issue when you run an offense like Picayune does they’re not exactly built to play from behind. It’s a thing of beauty until you run into a team that can stuff the run all night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had stuck with our traditional under center run offense, we wouldn’t have been able to mount that comeback. We had something different in the tank that frigid cold night in Jackson that allowed us to make the necessary comeback to win the ballgame in regulation. Why did we abandon that? Are our coaches not smart enough to have their own mind and do what Russell Mitchell did? Do we need to bring him back home to teach our coaches what to do?

Having the ability to be able to spread out and throw it some would only make a team like Picayune that much more dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there could be a * next to the points by prep and hattiesburg. WJ deserved to win the Prep game, but the only * should be the touchdown that the Refs clearly stole from Prep before halftime. It was very apparent on the replay. Prep should have had the lead at the half. I thought then and I think now - WJ is the best team in the state. I believe they'd beat the 7A champ.
