We were totally surprised at the undisciplined play by the Warriors in that O.S. game, but they seem to have corrected those things. It looks like they will play Pearl, which is another interesting team, having lost early on to Gulfport, but improving as the year progressed. I can easily see d’Iberville winning that first round game, but then who plays whom if O.S. was to win also?

IF both OS and d'ville squeak out wins in first round, I believe it would most likely be OS vs Oak Grove and d'ville vs Brandon in 2nd round assuming those two team win in first round. Not sure where they would be played this year. Lets just hope we're talking about this in two weeks!

Brandon has homefield throughout the playoffs. Its region 1 and 3 champions to host all the way thru.

d'ville lost a horrible game against OS. I will say OS would probably beat the Warriors 9 of 10 times honesty but that game was a nightmare from the start. The games against Gulfport, Harrison Central and Goula were never in doubt. Warriors controlled all of those games from the start. They have lost 2 games in 2 seasons. One to a very good NWR team last year and the other to one of the best, if not the best, team in the state in OS this year. They have a chance against anyone if they don't beat themselves with penalties and turnovers. One dimensional yes, but so is Picayune and they do well with it.  d'ville beat them this year by not making mistakes. Should make for some good games in the playoffs at least!

The Pascagoula game was absolutely in doubt. I was at that game. Warriors had to recover an onside kick at the end to win. Pascagoula also had several chances to put points on the board (a trick play attempt right before half over kicking a field goal sticks out - they kick the FG, they most likely win the game) that could have made the difference. If Pascagoula does not completely crap down their legs in the first half, it very well could have been a different game because they ran all over the Warriors that night. I always lean with rooting for the Warriors due to family ties (my brother and his family live there, I have nieces and nephews that have all played sports for them in the past 7-8 years), but this team just does not impress me overall. Are they a good football team? Absolutely, YES! Do I think they are capable of winning a first round playoff game? Sure. Do I think they will? Honestly I do not think so. I hope I am proven wrong, though!

I was there also.I agree d'ville wasn't very impressive in that game at times. However, that sort of what they do. Possess the ball the whole game and then end up wearing other teams down. Goula did put up more of a fight than Gulfport or Harrison Central though. They whole place d'ville side, fans and players seemed very down that game after that loss the week before to OS but no excuses. Goula RB was a beast and probably should've been used more IMO. I guess from my prospective, since Goula never possessed the ball with a chance to take the lead the entire game I never felt the game was in doubt. They did have a chance to tie in the 3rd by going for 2 point conversion but was stopped. Yes, IF Goula had recovered their onside kick with 1min left in the game it would've been interesting at the end.  It was a good game and Goula definitely has a better team than their record shows for sure.

And, if the second seeded teams should make it to south state (d’Iberville and OG) region 3 also has home field. It’s the second round where I don’t like the setup, as a lower seed who hasn’t had a home game gets the advantage, even over the higher seed. I can imagine that O.S. and Brandon would give up first game at home to guarantee the tougher second game was at home. State association is just trying to give everybody a chance to host, I guess.

Thats no longer the case. That went away in 2018. If you are a higher seed you will automatically host. So if Brandon lost and Ocean Spring made it to south state Ocean Springs would host. If Brandon and Ocean Springs play for south state its at Brandon. Next season the region 4 winner. will have homefield thru the playoffs

Pearl is playing much better football than they were playing earlier in the year. I don’t think Diberville will beat them. Color me wrong if it turns out differently.

I get what you are saying. d'Iberville is a solid ball club, I just do not know if they are good enough to get out of the 1st round. Other than OS, no team on the coast this year has really impressed me. Like I said, I hope I am wrong, but I am not confident in them to win in the playoffs this year.

I wasn’t aware of that. Then that’s fair. Again, I understand that O.S. would have to play their best game to beat WC or Pearl, and especially OG or Brandon, but I’ve seen them play elite ball at times this year. I’m just happy that I get to talk smack with the big dogs at this time of year. That’s not usually the case.
