Predicted Prep Football Scores

Finally, somebody talking about Clinton. I’ve been trying to get some idea of what to expect. Last year’s triple overtime game was also opening night, and was a classic. O.S. won that one, and continued to improve through the season. Maybe improved this year too on defense, but needs to play to find out. How does Clinton compare to last year if you think they are two touchdowns better than O.S.? 

They've had some good playmakers come up from last year's 9th grade team. OS plays a soft brand of football. Clinton played a really sloppy game against them last year. I think they'll be ready for them this year.

Well, a JPS fan should know about soft football, however; Ocean Springs is anything but soft.

They're a typical soft coast team with a faster quarterback. If Clinton keeps it clean this time around they will win easily. But, we are all entitled to our own opinions.

The coast is kinda stuck in their bubble most of the season. They have their own rankings and threads most of the season. I'm not sure if they are soft or not but they just play a different style of football and you never know how it relates to the rest of the state until the playoffs start. I can't remember the last time a coast team won state in 6A, if ever. I know Moss Point won 5A like 22 years ago when that was the largest classification. But the 6A schools down there just haven't done much that I recall since then. My memory isn't good so I'm probably overlooking someone. Anyway.. success down there hasn't translated to the rest of the state in quite a while.

The best finish for a Coast team while playing in the state's largest class was Ocean Springs in 04 while in 5A - losing to South Panola, 39-21

Coast kids are truly just different types of kids. Different lifestyles and attitudes (especially below I-10) for the kids on the coast. Football is not a major priority to a lot of kids down here. Couple that with questionable coaching hires at many of the 5A and 6A programs, it is not surprising the coast has struggled once playoffs roll around. Outside of Picayune (one could argue they are not a true coast team as well) nobody has consistently been a strong contender.

I wish I could disagree with your take, but that’s one of the reasons why Ocean Springs scheduled this game to see some more physical teams and prepare for the playoffs. They played Picayune in the spring to work on tackling, and have added weight and depth on their defense with a couple of talented transfers and some sophomores. Ocean Springs never punted in last year’s game, so that speed QB is back and better. I’d probably favor Clinton at home, but hoping it’s a good game for both.

Coach Pennick of Ocean Springs, who is a great hire by the way, addressed that point recently, and agreed with you that football is not a 12 month investment like it is in the rest of the state. His staff has been able to increase overall weight and conditioning over this offseason, and thinks it will help their defense especially. He’s a metro area coach who hopes to change the mindset down here. It certainly worked last year until the second round of the playoffs, and I hope that the kids and especially the coaches learned a valuable lesson in their loss to Oak Grove. Playing Clinton the first game should kick start a more physical season.

Out of pure curiosity what transfers did you get that will make that big of a difference? Every team moves up freshman to varsity the following year.

Give me a minute, Dub, to think of the names the coach mentioned. One was a DB/WR from Petal, and the other a DL from Harrison Central or West Harrison. I agree that transfers rarely change a whole season, but adding two to fill the exact spots where losses came is good. Coach Pennick is excited to have incorporated his system into the lower grades, and the upcoming sophomores were very talented, with a district championship and several starters, including the new left tackle. This year’s 9th grade QB is being recruited or looked at, and might be the next starter after Hubbard leaves for Bama. Just hoping that Pennick doesn’t go home to  metro area team if he’s successful here.

I remember back in the day when Picayune wasn't a coast team.  WLOX hardly covered the Maroon Tide, but since everything on the coast has been meh here of late they seem to want to cover the Maroon Tide quite a bit more, and I guess since we are in the coast region in 5A now they have to cover the Maroon Tide by default.

Enterprise, having played in last week's jamboree against superior talent, will have them better prepared for the season. Kudos to Coach Jimmerson for having the foresight to have scheduled the Bulldogs in that jam. (IMO that's better troll bait)

[coastball]

I can't comment on many games outside of the coast area as I am not familiar with some programs, but I disagree with some of the coast scores predicted.

 Gulfport will handle George County based on the George County I saw at Biloxi last week.

Gpt 35 George 14 

Biloxi 28 EC 7

D'Iberville 28 Stanislaus 14

Goula wins easily over Moss Point

Stone 42 St Martin 14

Harr Central definite loss to Oak Grove

Hancock 48 PRC 7

Greene County 28 Vancleave 14

Based off of your score prediction here, does that mean that PRC has officially cooked their goose before the season has even started?  I realize that they are a young team with a 14 year old 9th grader starting at QB, but since they run the ball a good bit do you think that Hancock's defense will wear down PRC's offensive line early on in the game?  In my eyes that's the only way I can see your score prediction coming into fruition.  Please let me hear your thoughts on this one.  The way that PRC was scoring points at the end of last year leads me to believe they can score more than 7 points in a home opener.  Do you see PRC struggling with putting together long sustained drives and finishing those drives with a score?

Lake has a young team that lost 28-0 to an average Newton County team. Enterprise will blow Lake out. A wet field actually favors Enterprise.

I'm sure they have with their weather reports, but back in 2003 & 2004 when Picayune was in Region 3-5A, the coverage was extremely scant on the sports end.  Has WLOX done a good job within the last 10 years of covering Pearl River County?  Sure they have, but back then (the 2003-2004 range) we probably had more WDAM & WLBT coverage once the regular season started.  It's all good though and I understand your point.
