Loser of OG-Petal may be in trouble. One of them will be 0-2 with Brandon still to play. Petal will still have Warren Central as well. Florence can make another big statement with a win over wayne co.

I guess ya always want a winning season with few injuries, but that early season schedule for Tupelo does absolutely nothing to prepare them for district play. Each year they have several good athletes and get a bunch of hype early while they play lesser competition and then it falls apart.

I'm not saying they're bad. I'm not saying we'll whoop them. I just think those first games should be used for preparation for Region play. If you're going to play a team in a smaller classification, play a top team. Yes, we played West Jones, but they were a top team in their division when we scheduled it. And Northwest Rankin is a long time rival, and they are at least in the same classification. They'll have more weeks to fill next year so hopefully they'll schedule some better competition early. I think when 7A has smaller regions it will help create bigger matchups in non region play. Or at least I hope it does. I'd love an early season matchup with Oak Grove for us. While they aren't having a typical season so far, they are usually a top team year in, year out.

 

Its up to each school how to make their schedule. I just think theirs is uncompetitive in non region play and it creates an unrealistic expectation for their fanbase. But like I said in a previous post, it gives you a winning record which puts butts in seats. And if you're winning early in games, you can take out starters to prevent injury while giving younger players experience. On the flip side, you end up with starters who aren't used to playing a complete game. 

 

I see the pros and cons but the cons outweigh the pros in my humble opinion.
