Region 3 6a preview

I think 2024 will be exactly how 2023 went. The Hattiesburg/West Jones game will determine the region winner. Terry takes the 3 spot and the Forest Hill/Pearl River Central winner gets the 4 spot. The questions to be answered are, Is this HHS team the best team since 2017 when HHS made the 5a title game. Will West Jones defense be the strong point of their team even though they lost almost all of their starters. Does Terry have enough coming back to challenge HHS or WJ and finally, will Pearl River Central snap their losing streak this season that goes back to the middle of the 2022 season

West Jones is also returning a lot of players on offense, the lost a few good players on defense.

@Vottthere’s so much to dissect and analyze here, but your prediction is pretty much spot on.  I also think Pearl River Central will break that losing streak that goes back to the week after the Long Beach game in 2022 like you mentioned, and there’s a factor there that will probably help to get that done.  If I had to guess though, it would probably happen against one of their non-district opponents.  If they manage to win a district game on top of winning a non-district game, that would be a huge step in the right direction for them.  Progress takes time, but the opportunity is there for it to happen.

West Jones will be flipping their script from last year.  They won’t be carried by the defense. They lost 10 starters there. Will be a work in progress. Teams will score some on them, but they may only need to be half as good as last year. On offense they lost 2 regular starters on the line and 1 other that was in and out.  The offense is stacked.

No, Caleb will be playing defense per Coach Hicks.

That is certainly interesting. Toward the end of last year and thru the playoffs, he was starting to look like

one of the best running backs in the state. Maybe we have an unknown up-an-coming kid that can replace that production.
