Hattiesburg vs Oak Grove.

Two outta three ain't bad, but I understand wanting the sweep.  If there's any keys for Hattiesburg in this one it's don't fall behind, win the coin toss, get the ball to start the game, control TOP, and don't turn the ball over.  Also getting some defensive stops and avoiding a shootout with Oak Grove will help too.  I think if Hattiesburg finds themselves in a shootout with Oak Grove, they won't have the advantage.

Hattiesburg defense has looked very impressive the last 2 weeks. Not sure how good Petal and Laurel are now,

but if the Tigers hold Oak Grove's offense in check, there will be no doubt then.

 

Laurel was BAD. VERY BAD! HHS defense stopped them for -56 total yds. A couple of bad snaps was what made that happen. But they were probably still in the negative if the bad snaps did not happen. Didnt expect to hold petal to 90yds either. But this HHS defense is the fastest I have seen in a while. The front 4 on the DLine are physical and the linebackers and Dbacks are flying to the ball.

@VottI know this isn't a good measuring stick, but Hattiesburg this year should be more talented than Ocean Springs and you see how well Ocean Springs played against Oak Grove.  Hattiesburg definitely has a chance to get a win at Oak Grove, but Hattiesburg cannot have a let down defensively and Hattiesburg needs some success against Oak Grove's defense.  I certainly am not in a position to try to predict an outcome in this one, but it shouldn't be a rout either way.

I don’t trust Hattiesburg’s offense enough. 
 

As for Laurel.  I have said it since the end of last year when all their fans started talking that they will win state. They lost 3-4 on both sides of the ball and it was the most important pieces on both sides. They are not as good as last year. That offense is garbage. The o line is big but weak and slow. The qb isn’t all that accurate, not that it matters he gets no time to throw. I would not be surprised it they only win 4 this year.

I think if Oak Grove scores first, then it's theirs to lose.  I just don't think Hattiesburg would have the ability to knot things up and overtake the lead.  Not saying it won't be a good game because it should be, but it's imperative for Hattiesburg to start fast and not trail if they want a shot at this one.

You’re right. I’m giving them a little credit. But meridian, stone county, east central, vancleave and Wayne county may all be tossup games. 
 

If somehow laurel missed the playoffs there will be riots in the streets.  And I’m not a drinker , but I would totally crack open a cold beer and grab a lawn chair to watch it if it happened.

I’m pumped to see Mac McDaniel make his debut in this game. He’s a big reason I watched Columbia games last year. Him and Picayune’s Amarion Tyson were my two favorite guys to watch on defense last year.@Dubactionhas there been any word on how he’s going to be used?

I’m not sure. I know how I would want to use em based on what I’ve seen so far but I’m no coach. He definitely adds versatility. We have had some issues dealing with speed from sideline to sideline so bringing him in to man the middle and moving Malachi Henderson (our fastest LB) around would be the smartest move IMO

No Trifecta @Vott

I am curious to see this HHS team particularly how they stack up against Grenada’s and Ocean Springs D.  Those Ds are pretty good IMO. We didn’t have our best offense execution last game and really OS had us on the ropes and could have won the game.  If HHS holds us to 21 then it will be interesting otherwise same old same old as of late…
