• 2:32
  Speaker 5: back take us through your journey.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: One of the things that you can feel being here
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: at Pucket is like a lot of community here in Mississippi.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: If you're from here, you love it and the people
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: that have moved in here. You know, there's a lot
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: of North Mississippi flavor here on a lot of the
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: you know, your colleagues here in different sports, but they
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: they love it. Talk a little bit about being from
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: here and what Pucket means to you.
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, I moved.
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: I went kindergarten through twelfth grade here and in this
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: community is just a tight knit community that really has
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: your back on anything that you need. And having all
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: that poured into me growing up, I knew when I
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: was decided like this is the calling to be a
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: coach and a teacher, that I wanted to make sure
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: I got back home as soon as I could.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: So went down to the.
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: Coast for a year and I enjoyed it, but I
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: just knew I was meant to get back here. Came back,
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: went to South Jackson for a year, and then Lord
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: and behold, this job came open. I jumped on it
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: as soon as I saw was available and came back
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: and we've been just in full swing thing. But just
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: here being in this tight knit community. You know, we're
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: a little town even on Google considered a village. We're
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: just you know, or a small little thing. But everybody
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: around here really takes care of their own. You know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: if you go out and you respect and you put
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: it for one hundred percent effort, they're going to do
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: the same thing in you and in your investment that
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: you're trying to do for these young boys and girls
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: and whatever they're trying to do. That if you, at
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: the end of the day, you just want them to
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: be the best people they can be when they leave
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: Bucket and go on to do other things, but know
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: they always have a place to come back to. And
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: I love it here so much. I've got a two
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: year old daughter, and Lord willing, she goes walks these
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: Halls K through twelve, just like I did.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: You know, And I was sitting here making sure I
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: had his name right. Your passion that you have for
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: your school. This reminds me a lot of We had
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: a chance to visit with Daniel Greeves. He's the had
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: basketball coach at Saint Santaslaus played down there, he was
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: the all time leading scorer. Left came back his dad
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: and his family from there, and I had a chance
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: to They just won their you know, the state championship
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: this past year.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: I believe in four A.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: And having a conversation with him was very like much
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: having a conversation with you. He was extremely passionate. It
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: was his home school, that's where he went. He got
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: a chance to go back. There's something special about coming
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: home in.
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: It oh by far, yes, being able to you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: I remember my last game on that court and thinking
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: that was gonna be it for me, hanging it up
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: because I though I knew a lot I wanted to do,
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: you know, I just didn't know that I'd be able
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: to come back here as a coach, and much less
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: even as a head coach. You know, they you know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: I got the job offer when I was twenty five
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: years old, and I was like, this is it. This
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: is what I want to do, and so kind of
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: getting to continue that journey that I had as a
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: player now as a coach, to continue to build on
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: the foundation that I left twenty fifteen is just so exciting.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: Every single time we play on any court in general,
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: but getting to play on that home court is just
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: so special. That I got to play seventh eight all
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: the way through my senior year and now get turnround
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: and coach on it. The same passion just continue to
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: burn and fuel, and of course I'd love to be
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: out there playing still to this day. But I'm excited
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: to be able to see these boys grow and see
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: the passion they have for it that I'm trying to
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: instill in them because I am proud to be back
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: home and I want to just keep building it up
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: and continue to grow.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Having a conversation with a coach, Jake Allen, he is
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: the head boys basketball coach here at Pucket Monday edition
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: of your program. We've seen basketball continue to grow in
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: this state. It's always been big, but now we're seeing
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: other pockets of it grow. You know, we talked with
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: women's basketball coach earlier our first year here. You know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: from North Mississippi, we know how big it is in
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: North Mississippi, different pockets, the love for basketball. We've had
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Tony Tadlock on at Raymond a number of times and
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: his success at Raymond at a smaller community, basketball is
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: so big in a state.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: In it it is Oh, it is you know.
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: I know we talked about Misissippi and we think about football,
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: but basketball is huge as well. And some people some
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: people know it and some people don't realize it. But
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: you know, you just look out and it's everywhere that
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: people are passionate about it in these small nick communities,
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: in the bigger schools that there is a big passion
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: to grow and these small little communities just having that passion,
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: having that backing, and you know, seeing what Tony Tadlock
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: had did at Raymond and he just has all that
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: community behind him and you continuing to grow when he
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: has done such great things at Raymond High School and
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: that's something now you strive for Pucket to eventually work
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: our way up to is continuing to have a successful
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: basketball program boys and girls, and just bringing that tightness
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: in the community is helping it to continue to grow
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: and continue to develop as a not only a basketball community,
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: but as in all supporting and everything in football, baseball, softball.
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: So just awesome to see the community get behind you.
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: And I mean we're just so tight knit that you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: I'm going to support football, baseball softball, They're coming to
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: support and me.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: It's just awesome that you really want everybody to succeed.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: And then also, you know at a two A level,
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: we see it at the Big House, we see it
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: in all sports. It's a very competitive classification. When you
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: start talking about that, I mean, you guys, the competition
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: you guys play, it's very very tough.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: Oh it is.
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: We We're in a district with Lake Newton, Scott Central
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: and Pelahatchie and Pela Hatchie has made the championship game
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: in the last two years. You know, that's a school
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: twenty miles of the road, a big rivalry game, and
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: they have just been extraordinarily talented the last couple of years.
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: I mean we I think split with them three years
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: ago and they've just been steadily increasing.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: And you know, I like playing people.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: That are a little bit better than me, so it
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: can kind of help us grow because I want to
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: get on that path that we're going deeper into the playoffs.
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: But us and then you got the schools of course
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: in North Mississippi who were very competitive. I mean North
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: Side who won the state champions of the graduate. Oh
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: that looked really good, extremely talented team that I love
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: going and seeing and watching this progression. Of course, got
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: Bay Springs, Heidelberg mis did really good this past season.
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: They ended up being the ones that put us out
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: in the playoffs and they were a couple points away
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: from going to the big House themselves. And of course
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: you got Collins. I mean they're teams all over to
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: the state in two way boys basketball. It is really
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: competitive and that anybody could win it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: I know, you're absolutely right. Take us through.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: We got a couple of minutes left here. We're business
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: with the coach Jake Allen. He is the head basketball
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: coach here at Puckett Monday editionar program. What the next
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: few months look like. I know, talk with a lot
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: of coaches here with it being a two A school.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Some of you guys may be out playing football right now,
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: some may do different things, but just kind of to
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: get ready because you guys will be full time on
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: the court here and just literally a snap of a finger.
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, we got right now, about nine guys in
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: the gym right now and about ten or so out
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: at football, and I'm hoping, you know, they go, they succeed,
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: they do well at football as far as you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: Lord will and they can make it and then they
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: continue in here. But with my guys right now, you know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: there's just so much hunger after what happened back in
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: February with falling short of our goal. That just getting
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: there and going through the fundamentals of passing, defense, shooting,
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: and then you know, hitting the weight room, hitting outside
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: the strides, getting us in shape because we want to
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: be able to be as in shape or not in
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: better shape than our opponent at the end of the day.
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: So we're really getting after it every single day to
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: build up to hopefully accomplish our goal this season of
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: hosting that playoff game. You know, that was our goal
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: last year. It's the same goal, same mission this year,
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: and I got for like, we have the hunger this
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: year to really attain that goal. Actually, we lost some
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: really good seniors from this past year that are going
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: to be difficult to replace. But I've got some younger
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: guys that are willing to step up and do their
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: best to replace that those few pieces that we lost.
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: And seeing what we did this summer, I think that
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: we really got a really good shot. That you know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: everybody stays healthy, everybody brings their best every single day,
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: because that's when I tell them, be better than who
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: you were yesterday, even if it's just about one percent,
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: keep getting better each and every day. And from the
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: team that we have in November to the team we
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: have in February, we look like night and day and
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: we will be a dangerous team when those playoff times come.
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: So that's why I'm excited to get these guys in
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: here right now and tell them that the hard work
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: in August is going to pay off when November, December, January,
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: and February get here. That you got to keep investing
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: each and every day.

  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, obviously I grew up played small school
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: football a student taught at Peelahatchie with coach Ward back
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: in two thousand and three, the fall of two thousand
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: and three, and so you know, that was my first
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: kind of introduction to Pucket. We came here and played
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: coach Lennis Stevens lost a fairly close game if I
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: remember right, and they were pretty good that year, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: we weren't were you know, four and seven type team,
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: but they had some super successful years with coach Patrick
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: Jerris Patrick had some really good players, some really good players.
• 14:31
  Speaker 10: I know several went to Hines and played played there,
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: you know, but yeah, just growing up or not growing up.
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: You know, early in my coach career at Clinton, we
• 14:39
  Speaker 10: you know, you came and watched them play. So just
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: some some really great teams, great community support. You know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 10: if they ever get finished. We're gonna have a turf
• 14:47
  Speaker 10: field to play on this year. So it's a It's
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: a great place to work and live.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Alan Pakonkins that had football coach here at Pucket Wolfs.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: So we'll kick it off here and we'll talk about
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: that schedule here in a bit in just a few weeks.

  Speaker 5: You know, when you talk about Center Hill Pugget, you said, hey,
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: if coached small football, and some coaches you know, and
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: I don't pretend to know your aspirations on where you
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: want to be in ten years.

• 15:21
  Speaker 5: I've been doing this about twenty years. The whole kitten caboodle.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: I started covering small football in small Mississippi, you know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: small town South Mississippi. It's just something about small town
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Missippi in it.
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I ain't no doubt, you know. I grew up
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: in the I played high school ball in the mid
• 15:35
  Speaker 10: to late nineties. So I graduated in ninety nine. And
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: if you know anything about one a football in the
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: late nineties, I lived seven miles from the powerhouse. I
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: lived for seven miles from where right, So I grew
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: up in French Camp. We were always wanted to beat
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: them and never could beat them, you know. Joe Lyn
• 15:51
  Speaker 10: Gant and I'll dang it at Ethel now coach coach
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: Junior ground j Gram. They had that thing rolling, and
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: they had a ton of talent, and you know, I
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: can remember playing them a Thursday night my senior year
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: and there wasn't just standing room only, you know. And
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: so just growing up, you know, always wanted to just
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: coach small school ball. You know, met my wife at
• 16:11
  Speaker 10: bell Haven, played there for two years, you know, graduated
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: in December and just started looking for jobs. And the
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: Clinton coach Hurt was at Clinton. Pete Hurt was at
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: Clinton and went to church in Clinton with my wife
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: and her family, and didn't have a job yet, and
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: somebody was like, hey, I think Clinton's looking for a
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: ninth grade coach. So wound up, you know, applying for
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: that job and getting that job. And I was the
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: head ninth grade coach at Clinton my first year out
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: of college. One of my best friends still today.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 16:38
  Speaker 10: It was the two of us first year coaches and
• 16:41
  Speaker 10: like fifty kids, you know, coaching it out at Sumner Hill,
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: you know, stayed So stayed at Clinton for about seven years,
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: and then went to Center Hill for fourteen.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: So spent twenty one years on kind of.
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: The six A, five A six A level, and then
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: you know, got five or six years left before I
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: retired hit by twenty eight years, and I wanted to
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: try this small school ball. Me and my wife needed
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: to get back close to home. Wanted to get back
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: close to home. My son just got married and lives
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: in Clinton, and so we want to be close to
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: the metro area.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: And so Pucket came open. Always been a great school.
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: Always thought, you know, a Pucket peel of hatch you
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: type job would be one I would want to take
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: there if it came open. And so it came open,

• 21:44
  Speaker 5: and the fact that you guys are fixing to open up.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: If you guys, you know, there's a lot of guys
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: and girls, particularly guys that like to move around and
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: go check out different stadiums. They may have had kids graduated.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: If they come down here to Pucket, you're gonna have
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: a brand new turf field. Boy, that is something to
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: be proud of. You've got the new lighting. You guys
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: basically walking into a new home this year.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: They've been working on it for a while now, and
• 22:07
  Speaker 10: hopefully hopefully they start laying the turf here in the
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: next day or two and it should be good to go.
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: Hopefully that first week that we open at home, so
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: hopefully that twenty eighth versus basket pull that will be
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: open and ready to go. And can't wait, right, can't
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: can't wait. You know, I'll always have a dry surface.
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: I have to paint no more and not have to
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: cut no grass, that kind of thing. Just can't wait.
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: And it's gonna be huge for the community, you know, soccer, football, Hey,
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: baseball needs to go on it because there feels wet.
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: Whatever it's it's just a huge, a huge deal for
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: a school.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and you referenced some stuff that I don't think
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: a lot of times, and I'm included to the common
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: fan doesn't think about is you know because you mentioned
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: the notables, you don't have to paint it that kind
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: of stuff.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: But really, unless it lightnings, now you.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: Don't lose practice too, and you guys can go out
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: there pitch and catch you know, footballs, whatever it is.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: But just the fact that now just a few years ago,
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: even last year, if you have a torrential downpour and
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: it stops, will grass, you.
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: Don't get to go practice. Now you can do that, yeah,
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: no doubt.
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: And I think you know I was we got it
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: at Clinton, you know, it was one of the first
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: ones to get it in the state, and I was there,
• 23:13
  Speaker 10: and I can remember the first spring we had it.
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: It literally our the good day of our spring game.
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: It flooded all morning, all morning, all morning, and then
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: like you know, we were getting ready to cancel the game,
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: and then it finally one o'clock it stopped. And by
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: the time we got to football at three, you could
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: walk it on with socks and not get your feet wet.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: So and I was sold from then. You know that
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: that was it for me. Now it gets hot in
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: the summer, you know, uh yeah, out there on it,
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: but but you know, you never you're not missing a
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: day because of rain, change the direction, drill, stuff like that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: You always got a good surface to work on. Uh
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: So I'm super excited.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Let's talk about the challenges and then of course you
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: know the benefits you talked about, you know, wanting to
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: coach small, small football to a football I've said this,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: We talked about this earlier with one of the other coaches.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Is two A, three A, four A. When you get
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: into the brackets and you start looking at playoffs every year,
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: I think those are the toughest, toughest brackets. I mean, granted,
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: you know seven A has their challenges. Every classification has
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: their challenges, but when you start looking through uh you
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: know Sebastopool, Pisca, Boga, Chetta, Scott Central, I mean we
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: know how good Scott Central is.
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: Every year.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: Lake just talk about the grind that is to a
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: football and the challenges that you have with it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's it's it's a durn good district
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: and our district. I don't think we won a playoff
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: game last year. I think we went oh and four
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: if we If we didn't, we went one in three.
• 24:37
  Speaker 10: So we're a pretty good district. Scott Central Lake are
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: pretty good, dang good football team. Pelahatchie's good, and then
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: they flipped over and Heidelberg obviously was a different animal.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Mys was really dagum good.
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: So it's just, you know, a lot of the and
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: a lot of the teams back when I was growing
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: up were one A, growing a little bit whatever going
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: to seven A.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: And so now they're all two A.
• 25:00
  Speaker 10: Just a bunch of really you talk about back in
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: the day, Myz and Peelahatchie and Taylorsville and Puckett and
• 25:07
  Speaker 10: all those, Scott Central and all those schools that were
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: I mean, they were battling it out every year to
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: play for that state, the South State at that time,
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: the championship.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: You know, it was. It was some good football. It
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: still is.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's there's no doubt about it.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: And you know last year in Starville when we were
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: up there for the state championships, I think all but
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: one and really everyone were in Central pulled away from
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: Hattisburg in the second half, but every classification played a
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: heck of a championship game, which tells me. You know,
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: some say maybe that's a one off year, but we're
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: starting to see the gap get closed more and more.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: I think that's a credit to great coaches like yourself
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: around the state. Kids are better.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: The quality of football in the state of Mississippi is as
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: good as it's ever been.
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and you know, I know, uh the MHS do
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: LA sometimes takes a hard rap for seven A. We
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: don't have enough schools, blah blah blah. Well I was
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: I was at Center Heel when they made the switch
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: and we were the small six A that last year
• 26:02
  Speaker 10: with six A, and the gap between us and the
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: top of six A was the exact same as the
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: gap between us and the top of one A. Wow,
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: So it was like a thousand and whatever kids, and
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: so that that's a lot to overcome, no matter how
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: big your school is. So I you know, I know
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: they get a lot of flak about money grabbing, blah
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: blah blah, but I'm a fan of the seven A.
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: I think it has brought the parody a little bit
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: closer together.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: In the numbers.
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: If you go back to when we were five A, well,
• 26:33
  Speaker 10: everybody complained about Wayne County being four A or whatever.
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: You know, so you're never gonna make everybody happy. But
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: I like the seven A. I think it's at least
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: a balance now. If we keep seeing consolidation, we may
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: have to drop back down. But I was for it
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: when it happened, you know. So we'll see.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: Take us through this year for Pucket. What you see,
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: what you guys you know obviously like, and things you're
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: working on as as you move towards. Correct me if
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: I'm wrong here that season opener you will start two
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: on the road as do. Let's see make sure I
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: got the right schedule here. Tell me your schedule, because
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: I don't think what I'm looking at here is we
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: are we are opening with Sebastapolsky.
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: We're gonna go playing a jamboree at stringer against a school,
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: a school out of Alabama. So we're gonna play our
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: jambree at stringer against school out of Alabama. And then
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: we opened against the basket pool, a really good one
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: a school.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Tell me what you like about your team, and tell
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: us about your team a little bit.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: We got a lot coming back. We only had three
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: seniors last year, so we got a lot of returners.
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: Last year, I think we had about twenty eight was
• 27:34
  Speaker 10: the most we dressed. Now we're closer to forty eight.
• 27:37
  Speaker 10: So we had a tough year last year, went one
• 27:42
  Speaker 10: in nine or whatever. Our junior high team, our freshman
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: group they as eighth graders last year went five and one,
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: had five shutouts, only had eight points scored on them
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: all year. So really that freshman class is gonna give
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: us some depth. You know they're not ready yet, but
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: they're gonna at least give us some death. We we'll
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: have one or two freshmen that all start for us.
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: Got a got a big kid that's gonna play receiver,
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: plays a little running back as a freshman, he's gonna
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: probably start or at least play a whole bunch. Like
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: my quarterback, Uh, he's he's a started every game last year.
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: And I came up here, uh you know, people that
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: didn't watch us, but I came up here with the
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: plan to be an Army Navy style under center triple
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: option and it did not go good. I had done
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: it some at center hill and and lost a bunch
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: of kids to Tennessee and then went back to the
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: spread or to the gun or whatever. And so we've
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: kind of made that transition here. My quarterback really throws
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: it really well, so we're gonna try to throw it
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: a little bit more, you know. And and again as
• 28:41
  Speaker 10: a coach, we're always trying to find out to me,
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: is who is our best eleven and what what do
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: those kids do well? And that's what we're gonna try
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: to do. So we've got some bigger kids, probably play
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: with the tight end a good bit. Our old line
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: is gonna probably it's gonna be a lot bigger than
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: it was last year.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: Got a kid back that didn't play last year, got
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: a kid out that didn't play much last year. We
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: got them out late. So looking forward to it, you know, Hopefully,
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: if injury bugs stays away and we can you know,
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: play good football not turn the ball over, hopefully we'll
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: have a chance to win a few ball games.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: Allan Pacocky as he had football coach here at Pucket
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: Monday edition of the program, Coach, We've got a few
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: more minutes here. You know, that's one of the things
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: that I know we see it around the country, but
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: that I just love about high school is you mentioned
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: Army Navy type style. Uh, going back to the spread.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: You see variations of football in high school versus even
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: you know, you see some of that in college when
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: you get into you know, the academies and such. But
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: for the you know, the fact that what you said is, hey,
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: look I've run you know, an option style double wing.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Ever how you want to frame it up, you know
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: some misdirection line of scrimmage football. I've run spread. But
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: you see it across the state. Picky Yune, Poplarville, you know,
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: West Point. There's still line of scrimmage teams and you'll
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: see some that can throw it all over the place.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: You see it all in.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: Mississippi, and coaches, sometimes especially at a smaller school, just
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: said it. Hey, I wanted to do X, I'm gonna
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: have to go to Y. And a lot of that's
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: personnel based on what you have to work with.
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah, no doubt. And I and I the same way.
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: I love you know, foot high school football because there's
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: a team you know down at picking you and that's
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: gonna get in unbalanced and run freaking toss until you.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Stop it or they win one of the two and.
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: Then and then you can go to freaking you know,
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: Oak Grove or Starvel and they're gonna freaking sling it
• 30:25
  Speaker 10: fifty or used to startfl they're gonna sling it fifty
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: times a game.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: So there's just a great max.
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: I mean, you look at coach Mancuso down at Jefferson
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: Davis and he's gonna be an under center wing TA
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: and his wings are gonna have their hand in the
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: dirt and they're gonna win buck sweep and and you
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: better be able to stop it. Ory'renna win a whole
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: bunch of ball games. So I I, you know, I
• 30:43
  Speaker 10: just love that. I can remember when when Riley won
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: the state championship. I think it was at Old Miss
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: two years ago, where they had the all the kid
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: that's playing at Old Miss right now, h thing I can't.
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: They ran buck sweep the first play of the game
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: and he took it about eighty to the house. So
• 30:59
  Speaker 10: it's just great football. And yeah, it doesn't matter what
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: you do. You got to block and you gotta tackle.
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: And if you don't block and tackle, you can be
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: four wide and it's gonna be bad.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: You can be under center and it's gonna be bad,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: And and we always come back to that, uh, and
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: we talk about it every year, regardless of classification. When
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: you get to late November, I don't care who you are.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: If you don't have line of scrimmage play, you're exposed.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and you know Mississippi, a lot of teams have
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: turf now, but there's gonna be a game in late
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: in November. It's gonna be nasty and cold, and you know,
• 31:33
  Speaker 10: you gotta be prepared, no matter whether you're a spread
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: or an under centertember or whatever. But you gotta be
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: both prayed prepared to handle those conditions. I remember when
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: I was at Clinton, we played Northwest Ranking and they
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: didn't They practiced on their their parking lot I think
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: three days that week because their field was so wet
• 31:53
  Speaker 10: and we were mud knees to ankles in pregame, and
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: the head coaches like, like, you probably need to go
• 31:59
  Speaker 10: to certain play, need to go under center. We took
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: to practice nap or two snaps in pregame under center
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: and dropped both of them. We went in the gun,
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: which is what we practiced, what we did, and we
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: didn't have a bad snapall game and we were fine.
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: But it's just you know, you got to prepare for
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: whatever situation and what is your playing on that Friday
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: night when it's cold and nasty, and you better have one.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: Alan Peacock, he is the head football coach here at
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: Pucket the Wolves getting set for the twenty twenty six
• 32:24

• 34:00
  Speaker 5: some notes on the rest of the day. And there's
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: some good stuff out here on the NFL too as well. First,
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: let me look back through here as again. Notre Dame
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: and USC will resume in twenty thirty their rivalry that
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: did not last too long. You got some NFL quarterback
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: battles going on, of course, with and not too many
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: teams that are, you know, battling, but obviously some that
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: you're watching out there. The four battles to watch Caller
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Murray versus JJ McCarthy. That's in Minnesota. It's put up
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: a shut up time for JJ McCarthy number one pick
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago. He's battled injuries, Kyler Murray
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: trying to resurrect his career. That should be a good battle.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: We'll see what happens there. Atlanta Pennix junior, Michael Penix
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: junior and two at Tongue Aloa. And you got really
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: two injury riddled quarterbacks. I mean Penick's trying to come
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: off a couple he's still not cleared for full team activity.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: Uh twetung will Lower last week was having some back issues.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson versus shde or Sanders. At least that's what
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: they're saying on cbssports dot Com. I would think that's
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: gonna be Deshaun Watson. And then you got a battle
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: or not Kirk Cousins versus Fernando Mendoza, uh for the
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: for the Raiders.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: So you know you got others uh.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: You know, Baker Mayfield trying to hang on to his job,
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: but Jacoby Brissett out at Arizona, Uh, Geno Smith over
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: with the New York Jets, Malik Willis down at Miami.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: We'll see if he's going to be the guy.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: And so you know, you got got a couple out there,
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: some definite battles, and some other guys, uh that have
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: some work to do. CBS sports dot Com did an
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: article out here the top one hundred NFL players of
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: all time. And obviously we won't have time to turn
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: through all of this with about you know, four or
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: five minutes left in the show, but just to kind
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: of get to the nuts and bolts of this, and
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: we'll come back to this throughout the week. Tom Brady
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: listed as the number one player in the history of
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: the Natational Football League ever, and of course it's talking
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: about they say quote, it's hard to pinpoint when Brady
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: ended the argument as the NFL's greatest player. I think
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: personally you could put him as number one. There's some
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: others that you could you could make a calls for
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: for number one ever as far as regardless of position
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: in the National Football League, who is the top guy ever?
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: But when you look at Tom Brady in the body
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: of work, and you know about the body of work,
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: there have been times.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: Where you say arguably the greatest.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think when you look at everything he's achieved,
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: you could put him as number one, number two on
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: this list. You could go a number of ways for
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: the number two overall greatest player ever in the NFL,
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: CBS Sports dot Com. Just Jerry Rice, I have no
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: problem with this zero problem nineteen eighty five to two
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: thousand and four. If there was a Mount Rushmore for
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: the NFL, I think Jerry Rice goes on the Mount Rushmore.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: And I don't think it's even close. You know, you
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: look at his records span you know a long time,
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: and when you're talking about eighty five to ninety five,
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: ninety five for me, two decades, three times Super Bowl champion,
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: caught his record eighth career Super Bowl touchdown against you know,
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: with the Raiders at age forty twenty two eight hundred
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: and ninety five receiving yards, five thousand more than the
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: second closest, which is Larry Fitzgerald nineteen eighty seven. Rice
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: called twenty two touchdowns a record that stood for twenty
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: years despite playing in only twelve.
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: Games, by the way, twelve games.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: So you know, there's some wonderful receivers that the athleticism
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: and the receiver position now is as good as it's
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: ever been. Collectively. We know about these guys that are,
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: you know, forty million dollar guys, fifty million whatever they are.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: You know now can't even remember who the highest paid
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: Ride receiver is because it seems like every time we
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: look up, there's a new guy, which is totally fine.
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: None of them can touch Jerry Rice.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, Jerry Rice to have these kind of stats
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: and records, to play in an era where I mean,
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: could you imagine, you know, we say all the time,
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: could you imagine Dan Marino in this era? What would
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: he look like? Could you imagine John Elway in this era?
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: Warren Moon in this era? Could you imagine Jerry Rice
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: in this era. If Jerry Rice play, I mean Jerry
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: Rice did this in a time where defensive backs could
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: still you know, hit you at the line of scrimmage,
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: chalk you up. That could hit you going across the
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: middle and take your head off. I mean half the time,
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: Jerry Rice, the way he got hit would be targeting today.
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: I couldn't imagine a young Jerry Rice in this football.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: I mean he would probably take It's hard to believe.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: He would probably take over the same same span of
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: time in nineteen twenty years and those twenty two thousand,
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: almost twenty three thousand yards would be more like thirty
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: four thousand. It's just unbelievable. Number three on this list
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: Jim Brown. And you're gonna see Jim Brown at the
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: top of every list, which you should. Nineteen fifty seven,
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: nineteen sixty five, you could put him at two. Someone
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: put him at one, number four on this list, while
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: Peyton again, I think another guy that you would put
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: on the Mount Rushmore of the NFL.
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: Sweetness was so good.
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: And when you go back, if you know, especially if
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: you're younger, just watch some highlight films of him on
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: go to YouTube and just check him out.
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: It was unbelievable to watch Walter Payton. Number five.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: Joe Montana, second quarterback on this list, and prior to
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: you know, Tom Brady and what he ended up doing
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: with his career, Joe Montana, you could arguably put a
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: number one, definitely top quarterback. Number one. You know, he
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: held the mantle as the greatest quarterback of all time.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: You know, nicknamed Joe Cool three times Super Bowl MVP.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: What he did in the eighties with the forty nine ers.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, he was brilliant in big games. If you
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: need to clutch, he was clutch. You know, he had
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: that iconic ninety two yard game winning drive in Super
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Bowl twenty three And if you haven't seen that, go
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: back and check that out. Number six on this list
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: Peyton Manning. I don't have a problem with this at all.
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: Peyton Manning. Look at what he did and just the
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: overall body of work. There's Peyton Manning. Number seven, Lawrence Taylor.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: First defensive guy on this list. And again when you
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: start talking about you know, Mount Rushmore's and guys that
• 40:13
