An East Central win will probably require some turnovers by the Tide and a perfect game by EC. Both teams have great rushing attacks, but the difference is that Picayune defense playing better than years past. I’ve got to go with the home team.

East central fan here, I can't give enough credit to the Yune for what they have showed on the field this year, that being said I know it will take everything we've got to beat yall on both sides of the ball, but one thing I've learned from watching our guys year in and out since the tradition has changed here in hurley is we fight hard no matter who we play and of we play perfect game we will keep up with anyone, Good luck to picayune thus Friday but I'm hoping our Hornets somehow pull through

Class post there Hyatt22.  Picayune certainly won’t overlook or take East Central lightly.  East Central is currently undefeated for a reason.  With that being said, this Maroon Tide football team certainly is one for the ages.  That defense is something I’ve never seen before and it’s probably a little bit better than advertised.  The offense though is just as powerful, maybe not as explosive as the 2019 offense, but they don’t need to be.  It truly is a complete football team.  If you make the drive over from Hurley have safe travels.

Appreciate it and yes I will be making the drive thanks for the safe wishes, hoping for a good game, I know it's a stretch but I really hope we put up a fight, best picayune team I've seen

Dodd laid the foundation over in Hurley many moons ago and that foundation hasn't moved or left.  If you're looking for some hope, just keep that in mind.

After Dodd left Hurley that foundation got covered up with storm debris, moss, and lichens, but Seth came in and cleaned all of that off.  That foundation has been clear and has been built upon since that time.  East Central will put up a fight, but so will the Tide.  The Maroon Tide will roll on.

Maroon, I do think Picayune needs to have a game where they get punched in the mouth first to see how they react to a little adversity.  I know its totally different but in 2018 Hattiesburg boat raced everyone during the regular season by at least 20 or more (except for Petal) and then West Jones threw us a haymaker in  the playoffs and we didnt respond to it at all. I know it seems all good to just totally dominate every team you play, but it never hurts to have a game where you have to grind it out.

Well we certainly didn't dominate Poplarville, Jefferson Davis County, or Gulfport.  We didn't play clean ball those games and Poplarville and Jefferson Davis County made adjustments after halftime.  Picayune has already had to grind it out in non-region play.

Maybe I should not have said grind it out. I think it would be better if I said at some point in a game this season Picayune needs to be behind to see how they respond. I dont think yall have trailed all season have you

Well in that case a team (Picayune's opponent) needs to elect to receive first (win the coin toss) and then go down and score.  It's that simple.  If they do that Picayune will be trailing on the scoreboard.

I agree on that. I never know why teams dont want the ball to start the game

I'd have to say Seth was definitely the best thing to ever happen to hurley, since Seth, our football team has made so much history and we have been to the playoffs 7 straight years which has never been done, made it past the 2nd round twice which had never been done before Seth, we had a minor set back past few years with a sorry coach who didn't know how to call plays on offense, but we are back to our way thus year with our new coach, we gonna have to play perfect against yall, but win or lose, I think we will have success in the post season this year
