I’m watching it and Russ Robinson is awful 

Russ is pretty much Mr. High School Football in the state when it comes to broadcasting. Also hes had his scoreboard show on the air for 30yrs. So despite what some may think of him, the ones that count must think pretty highly of him.

He is very knowledgeable of the sport and High school football in general. I know my opinion is only that my opinion. You don’t have to be good at something if you have the right connections and that he does

What Russ doesn't have is great tv video, along with youth in media across the state. He needs a stronger partner. It's definitely lacking.

Exactly that’s what I should have said instead of him being awful. I actually like listening to the call in show on Friday nights and he does a good job with that. When it comes to commentary of a game not as much

If you remember he and Cheyenne Trussell used to be the TV guys for the PBS broadcast. That's  one of the reasons games aren't on PBS anymore. Different TV guys were wanted but PBS said Robinson and Trussell. People got tired of "he calls his own number" 25 times a game.

Watched this game the other day. I thought the qb from Brandon and the Wr. from Petal made the south go. Was a good game. The KR right before half by the kid from JDC was big!

 

Agreed. The QB is a battler and the Petal WR did a great job. The KOR helped turn things for the South and he had to make up for his jumping over the xpt line penalty that allowed the 2pt conversion on the first score. Enjoyed the game

That reminds me I’ve been meaning to ask… and I mean this in the most respectful way possible but why does Gulfport out of all the high school stadiums get that game every year? Who made that decision and based off what ? 

I think it's likely due to location in relation to the housing they use for players at the Air National Guard base off Hewes Avenue as well as scheduling at other facilities with school sports. Gulfport plays its soccer games over by their school so maybe that's part of the logic. Only guessing on my part. Also the major sponsors of the game maybe?

So where do you house the kids during the days they are there to practice?

Well we are in Jackson so there are endless possibilities. Also, various locations to choose from while practicing, eating, and conferences they might hold. Not to mention Belhaven, Milsaps, and Miss. College would most likely be happy to support in any way
