I was humbled that evening. So while Picayune is the prohibitive favorite to win it all again, an upset would not be that shocking considering that there has not been a repeat south state 5a champion in a while.

Tiburon Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 oh yeah, Vott, I remember you telling us about twice a week that you were going to state in 2018. Good times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpgreenwave51 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Thought I'd pop in for a minute. WP is young on defense but they looked pretty good against Brandon. Offensive line needs to get a little better but I think they'll get things going. Vicksburg, Holmes County Central, and Lake Cormorant are teams that I think could "possibly" dethrone West Point but not sure. Getting rid of our DC was huge for our defense. Completely difference from the spring game when he was still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 What about Lafayette? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicklizard Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Vott had you rather play the heavyweights earlier when they are getting their footing or at the end of the season after they have refined their game? I don’t like the way they put together the schedule and would like to know who did it. It is what it is though and Wayne County will deal with it.

TheAnswer Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I don’t see Holmes Central dethroning WP. All that talent that they’ve had over there and they’ve only won 1 playoff game since Rogers has been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also isn't the QB gone? Yeah there was some questionable calls by the refs. Our player didn't hear the whistle and kept running. I don't kno how to take Lafayette honestly. They've had WP on the rocks multiple times and blew huge leads. I think their opportunity has passed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroontide06 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 So does 5A North still run thru West Point this year, or will it run thru somewhere else? It'll be interesting to see who represents 5A North in Hattiesburg this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like the way they put together the schedule and would like to know who did it. It is what it is though and Wayne County will deal with it. Last season I didnt mind playing the light part of the schedule early. HHS was 0-4 heading into region play and needed to taste success to gain a liitle confidence. They were able to do that and by the time it came to playing Wayne Co, West Jones and Laurel they were playing their best football by then. Had HHS opened up region play against Wayne Co or West Jones I dont think they would have won either one of those. As far as putting the schedule together the coaches and/or athletic directors get on a zoom call or conference call at the same time to make out the schedule.

I like how our Jr. High programs are looking A Jr. High program can be great, but there has to be an elevated level of coaching in order for that success to transition to the Varsity level. I don't think there's a problem at West Point in that regard. The county school where I live has a great Jr. High/Middle School football team, but because there isn't an elevated level of coaching once those kids reach the JV/Varsity level, there is a significant drop off in the win column.

Definitely not a problem here at the moment. It could change but things are the same now. The only major change we've had recently has been the DC in which everyone is happy about that change. It was much needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
