Vott Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Well now that its a new year, its never too early to start looking ahead to next season. Picayune will no doubt be the odds on favorite to repeat and rightfully so. After that there is 8 other teams in there who are about as evenly matched as you can get. Region 3 is going to pretty much be a carbon copy of last season. 5 good teams looking to fill 4 spots. In no certain order they are Brookhaven Hattiesburg Laurel Wayne Co West Jones Natchez South Jones Florence. Region 4 Picayune Gautier East Central George Co Vancleave Pearl River Central West Harrison Long Beach Region 4 is how I think that will play out. Region 3 just too unpredictable to try and pick who will be in the top 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicklizard Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Wayne County brings everyone back except for WR Abney I think. How many starters is Laurel losing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 West Jones may struggle next year. Lost 1 senior D lineman before the season started. Lost best defender/overall player to injury and he was a senior. Will lose 3 other defensive starters, and 2 or 3 on the O line, and top 2 RB's. But due to injury and covid throughout the year they ended up rotating so many kids into starting positions here and there they had only 7 players that started every game. Almost 40 that started here and there. So they will have experience to fill the losses but those 2 big ones on defense hurt. Also some likely coaching changes will disrupt things.

It came out during last baseball season that 2021 would be it for it. Before the Christmas break I was told he was awaiting an audit to see if he did (which he should have) had his time in.

Vott Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Two and a half months away, how do you think this region is going to play out? Have any schools had a good player move in from somewhere or have a player leave and go somewhere else that you may know about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LL-Csports Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 From what I’ve gathered, Region 3-5A will look something like this IMO. 1. Wayne County 2. Laurel 3. Hattiesburg 4. West Jones 5. Brookhaven 6. South Jones 7. Natchez 8. Florence Wayne County returns a lot, including a very good QB and RB. Their new head coach turned the culture around quick. I haven’t seen this kind of energy from them in a long time. Laurel has one of the best offensive lines in the state. They lost their stud running back from last year and a couple of good receivers, but a lot of guys can run behind that line. 2 good QBs. One of them plays WR also and is very dangerous with the ball in his hands. Athletes all over the field on both sides of the ball. Hattiesburg has one of the best linebackers in the state in Tabias Hinton. The defense should be nasty. A lot like Laurel as far as athletes go. Their QB is gonna be a sophomore this year and he is supposed to be the real deal. West Jones lost a good bit, but they aren’t done. They have a couple of really good defensive players left including a MLB with multiple D1 offers. Dual-Threat QB returns, but they’ve got to have some receivers emerge. Offensive line will be solid, but they will have a new starter with almost no experience at RB. Brookhaven is probably the only real threat to push for that 4th spot. They beat Laurel last year, but I think they are a step behind. South Jones will be better. Todd Breland is too good not to get that thing rolling. They could have a winning record. Natchez and Florence are young. They probably won’t be very competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicklizard Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Putting us over Laurel and West Jones is a reach, IMO. To go from missing the playoffs to winning that region would be a mammoth achievement. I would love it if we did. Like you said that oline for Laurel and you know West will have a defense that will shut down the run. Laurel beat them in the playoffs because they could throw it. Can we ? Honestly our offense looked like an ongoing project last month in poplarville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly our offense looked like an ongoing project last month in poplarville. There are still a lot of moving pieces, but from spending time with all the programs this summer, that’s how I see it. WC missed the playoffs, but lost three region contests by a combined 9 points with a mountain of injuries and a new head coach. If WC had beaten West last year, they would have been the No. 1 seed. Plus, WC returns more than everyone. Folks in Waynesboro should be excited. Wayne County has a phenomenal head coach and a bunch of talent.

slicklizard Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 You can’t get Deonte away from the house to watch a game. I think he’s got the same Friday night dilemma as Dub. They can’t get away from the women. The season is fast approaching, I’m expecting you to make it to one this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U Remember When Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 George Co. has a sophomore QB who's already receiving offers. Stepped in as a freshman last year and lit it up (SR qb injured). Lost a couple key skill guys, Trent Howell will be at Jones and Mojo Dortch I believe Starkville. Won't be able to rattle this one like your average sophomore. OL will have to protect him. East Central has a new HC. Good man who has waited his turn and I think they'll be fine. I don't do predictions, but I feel both these teams are playoff bound. In the district with Picayune, so district champs may be a stretch for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
