- 4:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:22Speaker 7: You know the funny thing like right before I left,
- 4:25Speaker 7: Caleb left, he was heading to Mississippi and now well
- 4:27Speaker 7: now it's Mississippi Christian University of MCU, so he was
- 4:31Speaker 7: heading over there to move into his house. Got Cameron
- 4:36Speaker 7: leaving this weekend and leave Saturday, and Connor's already in Jacksonville.
- 4:44Speaker 5: What do you what are you guys gonna do come
- 4:46Speaker 5: baseball season? Because I mean, there's two of you, you
- 4:49Speaker 5: and the missus and three of them. Somebody's getting left out.
- 4:53Speaker 7: Yeah, but we've been doing that a while. Though this
- 4:55Speaker 7: will be I won't, it won't be easier. But you know,
- 4:59Speaker 7: Cameron was at northw Frank and Caleb was that Colon
- 5:01Speaker 7: Connor was off where he was, So we've been doing
- 5:03Speaker 7: this for a while. That's a that's a good problem
- 5:05Speaker 7: to have. We've just got to figure out what to
- 5:07Speaker 7: do now with it's just me and Jennifer and then.
- 5:10Speaker 1: The two dogs. I don't I don't know what we're
- 5:12Speaker 1: going to do there empty nesters. I don't know. I
- 5:16Speaker 1: don't know.
- 5:16Speaker 7: I don't know what we're gonna do. We got we
- 5:18Speaker 7: got problems, like we have a big plus. Look, I
- 5:21Speaker 7: walked in here with this. These are reading glasses. Yeah,
- 5:24Speaker 7: that's just so embarrassing. And walked in here with these.
- 5:28Speaker 7: I saw a wild build out front, and he saw
- 5:30Speaker 7: the glasses and that that's embarrassing. I've miscalibrated the drive
- 5:35Speaker 7: over here somehow because I had this thing down to
- 5:38Speaker 7: a tee to roll in the men at the show starts,
- 5:42Speaker 7: and now I'm a couple of minutes late.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 5:44Speaker 7: If there's a light or two that have been added
- 5:46Speaker 7: somewhere along the way, but something's off there.
- 5:49Speaker 5: But it's possible. It's very very possible. Yeah, readers, I
- 5:55Speaker 5: mean you see me. I've had glasses on for several
- 5:56Speaker 5: years now, so welcome to the club.
- 5:58Speaker 7: Man I've been I've been putting it off too. I've
- 6:01Speaker 7: been blind for a while.
- 6:02Speaker 2: But have you really your signer or a far sighted
- 6:05Speaker 2: or what?
- 6:05Speaker 4: Like?
- 6:05Speaker 7: What's your I had lasik when Jennifer and I got married.
- 6:08Speaker 7: That's twenty three years ago to fix that, so like
- 6:11Speaker 7: I can see far off, but just the vision up
- 6:13Speaker 7: close as it's gone to pot.
- 6:14Speaker 2: So you had lasik before it was cool?
- 6:17Speaker 1: Yeah? I had.
- 6:17Speaker 7: I had real and I kind of had an issue
- 6:19Speaker 7: with it at first, but that might be another story
- 6:21Speaker 7: for another day. I thought I was blind though, but
- 6:23Speaker 7: it worked itself out.
- 6:26Speaker 2: So, uh, magazines ready to go? When are you gonna
- 6:28Speaker 2: put this thing on the market?
- 6:30Speaker 1: Like the magazine magazine? Well, just the hard copies if
- 6:33Speaker 1: people want to go read this. I mean, here's the thing.
- 6:35Speaker 1: I feel like you've got people held it hostage day here.
- 6:40Speaker 1: You've got people chomping at the bit. People ask us,
- 6:43Speaker 1: when's he gonna and I know you, when's he gonna
- 6:45Speaker 1: drop the magazine?
- 6:46Speaker 2: When is he?
- 6:47Speaker 1: So when can people actually read your beautiful contents?
- 6:50Speaker 7: He and I don't want to look bad because like
- 6:52Speaker 7: you already know this, because you already have it, Like
- 6:54Speaker 7: I'm I've been done with it. And but this is
- 6:58Speaker 7: what this is what happened that at some point I'll
- 7:02Speaker 7: put the thing out in its entirety. Okay, that's a
- 7:05Speaker 7: whole lot of work to go into it on the summer.
- 7:07Speaker 7: As soon as that happens, and this isn't a bad thing.
- 7:10Speaker 7: But as soon as it happens, everybody's gonna clip it
- 7:13Speaker 7: and pull different parts and then there's no way to track,
- 7:15Speaker 7: you know, the analytics on that sort of thing. And
- 7:18Speaker 7: like I said, that's not a bad thing because they
- 7:21Speaker 7: look I put it out like that for a reason.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I want people to have it.
- 7:24Speaker 7: But I would like to put out a little bit
- 7:27Speaker 7: of it on my own for social media purposes. So
- 7:31Speaker 7: I will do that as soon as I'm gonna get
- 7:34Speaker 7: on my phone here in a minute, I need to
- 7:36Speaker 7: correct a graphic. I'll probably put that top twenty five
- 7:39Speaker 7: out while you and I are talking, and then the
- 7:42Speaker 7: rest of the day and tomorrow I'll probably just do
- 7:44Speaker 7: via social media putting graphics out, and then Friday, the
- 7:49Speaker 7: plan is I'm probably gonna put it out Friday because
- 7:52Speaker 7: we have real games. Yeah, it's too early for real games.
- 7:56Speaker 7: I don't know why we have games on the fourteenth.
- 7:59Speaker 1: How many Not every m Ai school's playing this weekend. No, not,
- 8:02Speaker 1: and but there are there's a number of them.
- 8:04Speaker 7: A lot of the three A classifications playing jaa's playing.
- 8:07Speaker 2: I think, so this is week zero for us.
- 8:10Speaker 7: They technically would be like, well, I guess for compared
- 8:13Speaker 7: to public schools on next week's kind of week zero.
- 8:16Speaker 2: So this is weak minus one.
- 8:17Speaker 7: Yeah, this would be weak minus one. So like we're
- 8:20Speaker 7: really and there. That's fine, but it just you kind
- 8:23Speaker 7: of get off kilter a little bit. It'd be nice
- 8:25Speaker 7: to have like one huge high school day, but the
- 8:28Speaker 7: majority of everybody starts in two weeks. The rest of
- 8:31Speaker 7: academy starts next week. But we do have games this
- 8:33Speaker 7: Friday night, and I hate to put it out after
- 8:38Speaker 7: even though it's not a whole lot of teams. Even
- 8:40Speaker 7: though but with some teams playing, I'm probably going to
- 8:43Speaker 7: go ahead and put it out.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Yeah, you probably beaverhit. Why does he want to wait?
- 8:47Speaker 2: Why does he want to make these people wait?
- 8:48Speaker 6: I mean we're here talking about it right now. I
- 8:50Speaker 6: feel like the perfect time to drop it is right.
- 8:52Speaker 1: There, exactly I'm doing. I did this for you, really,
- 8:55Speaker 1: and to throw me under the bus. I did this
- 8:58Speaker 1: for you and for him. Don't leave him out because
- 9:00Speaker 1: you usually get on his bad side.
- 9:02Speaker 7: Beever already knows that goes without saying. I do stuff
- 9:04Speaker 7: for him, but he's on my side.
- 9:07Speaker 5: Beaver's had a good day. He got to visit with
- 9:08Speaker 5: Ray Coleman. He was here today.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Hey, Ray, So I had that big beard.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I hadn't seen him in so long, and that's
- 9:14Speaker 2: the one.
- 9:15Speaker 6: The first thing I noticed was that huge beard.
- 9:17Speaker 7: It's huge, man, It's enormous. He looks like he should
- 9:21Speaker 7: be like in a movie or something like he's that guy.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Well I was telling him.
- 9:26Speaker 5: Took him over here and we had some lunch, and
- 9:29Speaker 5: I said, man, I can't grow the kind of beard
- 9:32Speaker 5: you grow like. Man, it's he and Nathan where my
- 9:36Speaker 5: are the ad at Hines. He has a very similar beard.
- 9:38Speaker 5: I told Nathan that this week when I was out
- 9:40Speaker 5: of Heines. It was like, you guys that can grow
- 9:42Speaker 5: these beautiful beards that are just full and you know,
- 9:45Speaker 5: long and just they look good. They look good. Didn't
- 9:49Speaker 5: you try to grow you were gonna grow one of
- 9:50Speaker 5: those one time long beard, the big long beard.
- 9:53Speaker 6: Oh yeah, but my facial hair grows so slowly that
- 9:57Speaker 6: I get I get impatient and eventually. Now, one time
- 10:02Speaker 6: I did go like thirteen months without shaving, and even
- 10:06Speaker 6: then I think that was real early.
- 10:10Speaker 2: In your time here.
- 10:11Speaker 6: Oh okay, even with that, like my thirteen month old
- 10:15Speaker 6: beard looks like what someone else would grow in maybe
- 10:19Speaker 6: like four.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Months you've shaved. You shaved your face, I did, like,
- 10:25Speaker 1: but told you, get this man is clean. Have you
- 10:28Speaker 1: never seen him like that?
- 10:30Speaker 2: I had, I didn't see much. Last week.
- 10:31Speaker 5: I was on the road and I came in here.
- 10:33Speaker 5: I guess it was Monday. I was like, whoa wait
- 10:35Speaker 5: a minute, he's clean. It you weren't like clean, but
- 10:38Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, clean like clean shaven, clean shaven.
- 10:41Speaker 5: So it's he's getting upset.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Now, this man you just like sit at the house
- 10:47Speaker 1: and just like one day like nope, it's gone, and
- 10:50Speaker 1: just do it.
- 10:51Speaker 6: You know, I actually did it because Matt Wyatt last
- 10:56Speaker 6: week one day last week. I think it was he
- 10:59Speaker 6: started hell and me. He's on this new thing he
- 11:02Speaker 6: decided the day before he goes Beaver. You know, I
- 11:04Speaker 6: was watching Zach Arnett at a press conference and I realized,
- 11:08Speaker 6: you look exactly like him. But then he mentioned it
- 11:11Speaker 6: like three more times, like he was dead serious. So
- 11:16Speaker 6: I said, well, let's go see, because I normally don't
- 11:19Speaker 6: go just Zach Arnatt just has a mustache.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know I never go just mustache.
- 11:24Speaker 6: And I said, well, let me go shave my head
- 11:27Speaker 6: because I was gonna do it again before the summer ended.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 11:29Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna mishave this mustache. So that's that's what
- 11:32Speaker 6: happened there. And now I had to take away the
- 11:34Speaker 6: mustache because certain people don't like it.
- 11:37Speaker 7: No, I like it looks good. I've been using you
- 11:40Speaker 7: on our podcast from the House that those the football
- 11:44Speaker 7: shows thing, but to make it appear bigger than it is,
- 11:48Speaker 7: I'll like yell for you off camera even though you're
- 11:51Speaker 7: not there.
- 11:51Speaker 1: But nobody knows.
- 11:52Speaker 7: That Beaver doesn't sound up or something like that. So
- 11:56Speaker 7: just if somebody says something that's going on, nobody knows.
- 12:02Speaker 7: I'm the only person sitting there. So I was just
- 12:04Speaker 7: like pointing out over here to my producer whoever is
- 12:07Speaker 7: in the room, and I was gonna make up a name.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I was like, I just dropped Beaver's name in there.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Nobody knows he can do.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Beaver, you can do Bob. Like Bob, come on, what
- 12:14Speaker 2: are you doing?
- 12:15Speaker 1: I mean you want to give the appearance at what

- 15:53Speaker 7: ingrained in our family, Okay, because when when somebody leaves,
- 15:58Speaker 7: that's gonna that's gonna be said, because you never know. Sure,
- 16:01Speaker 7: last thing and I do not the morbid thing to
- 16:03Speaker 7: think of, but last thing I want my kid to
- 16:06Speaker 7: hear from me.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Is going to be that totally understand it. But whenever I.
- 16:09Speaker 7: Texted to them it will be l uh ya. So
- 16:16Speaker 7: maybe there is something very deep psychologically going on here.
- 16:21Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. All right, let's see here, Miko

- 17:13Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, there is no doubt. All right, let's uh,
- 17:16Speaker 5: let's get into it all right. So who helped you
- 17:19Speaker 5: this year with the magazine. We'll make sure we give.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Them credit, mainly me and Brandon.
- 17:22Speaker 5: And I've always said this is he not the most
- 17:26Speaker 5: undervalued person in this state in high school sports.
- 17:28Speaker 1: Brandon does a lot of work. Man, I'm not not
- 17:30Speaker 1: even gonna lie about it.
- 17:31Speaker 7: And he and yeah, he will send coaches texts that
- 17:36Speaker 7: they they may get tired of getting them, but like
- 17:40Speaker 7: he he's just he's genuine loves the high school sports
- 17:43Speaker 7: and he will keep sending those messages for content. But
- 17:48Speaker 7: it's it's hard to track down. That's a fact. Like
- 17:51Speaker 7: coaches are busy and yeah, they're not thinking about what
- 17:53Speaker 7: I'm doing over here, and it's hard to get So yeah,
- 17:55Speaker 7: Brandon does does a lot to help me put that
- 17:58Speaker 7: thing together, all.
- 17:59Speaker 5: Right, So to make sure before we start getting into
- 18:01Speaker 5: the top twenty five, this isn't something randomly that you do.
- 18:04Speaker 2: This is it's something you've been doing this now.
- 18:06Speaker 1: This is the seventeenth year of Doning.
- 18:07Speaker 5: I was gonna say fifteen, seventeenth year of Mississippi Gridiron.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Yep.
- 18:11Speaker 5: This isn't something that you just set around and search
- 18:14Speaker 5: X and you get input from coaches, You get input
- 18:17Speaker 5: from Johnny and the Mic, you get input from them
- 18:19Speaker 5: at There's a lot that goes into it.
- 18:20Speaker 7: We work hard to get this content, not reading everybody
- 18:24Speaker 7: else's stuff, and we work hard to get all this content.
- 18:27Speaker 1: And you know, to the point of.
- 18:30Speaker 7: Coaches fill out forms, and we probably had one hundred
- 18:33Speaker 7: and fifty, so I bet roughly half of the schools
- 18:36Speaker 7: sent content to us. And when they send that to us,
- 18:39Speaker 7: they do send us their rankings. I asked them, hey,
- 18:41Speaker 7: would you please rank the top five teams in your
- 18:43Speaker 7: class and then ranked teams in your region or your
- 18:46Speaker 7: district if you're an academy, that lets us put those out.
- 18:49Speaker 7: And it's common sense. There's half teams that don't want
- 18:54Speaker 7: to do this. If they're not gonna be very good teams,
- 18:56Speaker 7: they're not nearly as as likely to fill those out.
- 19:01Speaker 7: But we get a lot of content submitted, and then
- 19:04Speaker 7: I mean I probably I know, I text everybody. Every
- 19:07Speaker 7: school's gonna get a text or a message or something
- 19:09Speaker 7: for me. Then phone calls on top of that. So yeah,
- 19:12Speaker 7: there's a lot of leg work that goes into it.
- 19:13Speaker 5: And if you see Chris, which you will if you're
- 19:16Speaker 5: at the right game, you'll see him taking photos. Chris
- 19:18Speaker 5: works very hard at this during the year. Those photos
- 19:20Speaker 5: are for this year's content and next year's next year.
- 19:23Speaker 7: And really a lot of times when I'm at games
- 19:25Speaker 7: and covering things, you know, I like to do photography,
- 19:28Speaker 7: you know, I don't charge the schools for it. I
- 19:30Speaker 7: just I find if people do it personally, I just don't.
- 19:32Speaker 7: I don't like people paying for coverage, So that's never
- 19:36Speaker 7: a part of this. I want to be able to
- 19:37Speaker 7: cover the teams that deserve the coverage, and I'm going
- 19:41Speaker 7: to games and anticipation next year, I'm gonna need a
- 19:44Speaker 7: picture of that kid. So literally, when I show up,
- 19:47Speaker 7: I know a lot of photographers that are going to
- 19:48Speaker 7: get the best pictures first, and there's a time and
- 19:50Speaker 7: place for that. I'm going to snap a picture of
- 19:53Speaker 7: at least something of every kid that stepped on the field,
- 19:56Speaker 7: because you never know when there's gonna be somebody you
- 19:58Speaker 7: don't know about that'll be something and you know later
- 20:00Speaker 7: on in the year.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt about it.
- 20:02Speaker 5: All right, let me get this one text and we're
- 20:03Speaker 5: gonna get going here, dog tire Florence mister Brooks. Has
- 20:09Speaker 5: Herbert Davis stepped down from head coach to coordinator on
- 20:13Speaker 5: Jake's show on MHSA. Media reporters seemed to imply that
- 20:17Speaker 5: coach Davis was intentionally stepping back from head coach. Now,
- 20:19Speaker 5: I don't no, I think what Davis just has a
- 20:22Speaker 5: different OC this year.
- 20:24Speaker 1: He swapped.
- 20:24Speaker 7: Yeah, Herbert was the offensive guy unless something's changed, and
- 20:29Speaker 7: I could call him real quick, but.
- 20:31Speaker 2: I think I think you're Jacob.
- 20:32Speaker 7: Land was there before left to be the head coach
- 20:35Speaker 7: at Lamar School. Yes, he came back. They won a
- 20:37Speaker 7: state championship last year.
- 20:39Speaker 1: He came back.
- 20:39Speaker 7: Now he is the OC and Herbert is flipping to
- 20:43Speaker 7: the defensive side of the ball. He's becoming their defensive
- 20:46Speaker 7: coordinator on top of him being the head coach.
- 20:47Speaker 5: Yeah, there you go, all right. Number one team in
- 20:49Speaker 5: the state of Mississippi. Courtesy of Mississippi Gridiron. This team
- 20:52Speaker 5: scored four hundred and ninety one points last year, which
- 20:55Speaker 5: was twenty one more than the previous season.
- 20:59Speaker 2: They are loaded. They have been loaded.
- 21:02Speaker 1: They are loaded.
- 21:04Speaker 2: They have a running back.
- 21:05Speaker 5: They rushed for seventeen hundred and twenty six yards twenty
- 21:07Speaker 5: eight touchdowns.
- 21:09Speaker 1: He is committed to Colorado. I did not realize this.
- 21:12Speaker 1: He is Colorado commit.
- 21:14Speaker 5: So Colorado slept in here last year and got Preston
- 21:17Speaker 5: Ashley from Brandon and now Kylon Bobo two.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Number one.
- 21:21Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean this is the third year they've been
- 21:23Speaker 7: ranked number one in the preseason YEP and we I
- 21:26Speaker 7: mean two years ago we looked, you look good with
- 21:29Speaker 7: them winning it, and you think about it last year.
- 21:31Speaker 7: I mean they they had last year's one. They did
- 21:33Speaker 7: and then that hail Mary happens for golf board at
- 21:35Speaker 7: the end of it, and I know Tupolo's tired of
- 21:37Speaker 7: hearing about that, but like they were there to go
- 21:40Speaker 7: back to back and have another chance this year. But
- 21:42Speaker 7: look like they have that kid going to Colorado. They
- 21:44Speaker 7: have a junior that's moving up. Oh man, I can't
- 21:48Speaker 7: remember his name. I want to say to us, not
- 21:50Speaker 7: not thinking of Tyson something Ashley, not Tyson, though obviously
- 21:55Speaker 7: I'm thinking of our kid from Brandon.
- 21:57Speaker 1: But they have.
- 21:58Speaker 7: Another one that may be better than he, And like
- 22:01Speaker 7: I listed him in the running back top ten in
- 22:03Speaker 7: the state, not even knowing if he's really going to
- 22:06Speaker 7: be a full time running back or not. So like
- 22:08Speaker 7: they have an embarrassment of riches. And remember they picked
- 22:11Speaker 7: up quarterback from Oxford laf Drew Dean. Drew Dean that
- 22:15Speaker 7: got hurt was their starter, got hurt. Lane Kiffin's kid
- 22:17Speaker 7: stepped in and became the starter, and Dean ends up
- 22:20Speaker 7: leaving the kid that Oxford picked up from Memphis. Is
- 22:24Speaker 7: he's going to be something like he's in the discussion
- 22:27Speaker 7: for best quarterback in the state right now.
- 22:30Speaker 1: He's that good.
- 22:30Speaker 7: People just don't know it yet. His name is Pryce Renovich,
- 22:33Speaker 7: but I'm Drew Dean. Going to Tuplow is a big
- 22:35Speaker 7: deal for them. They've got I mean, they've got SEC
- 22:37Speaker 7: players all over the place.
- 22:38Speaker 5: Yeah, they're going to be very, very good. Tuplow the
- 22:40Speaker 5: number one team in the state. We'll get to the rest.
- 22:42Speaker 5: We will talk best players in the state as well.

- 24:00Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to let me know as you drop
- 24:02Speaker 5: and we'll share them as we're talking. Top twenty five
- 24:04Speaker 5: two number one team in the state. Shouldn't surprise a
- 24:06Speaker 5: lot of people. Ty Harden's done a great job with
- 24:09Speaker 5: that program. They are loaded again. They are the team
- 24:13Speaker 5: to beat. And just what you said, Chris, I mean
- 24:15Speaker 5: they were just a batt had pass away from back
- 24:17Speaker 5: to back state championships.
- 24:18Speaker 2: They defeated Brandon two years ago down in a Hattisburg.
- 24:21Speaker 5: They had golf Port on the ropes and then golf
- 24:23Speaker 5: Port with a magical last last minute drive, which Blake
- 24:27Speaker 5: Pennett told me he's probably told you this. They practiced
- 24:31Speaker 5: that thing every day in practice, so he said. We
- 24:32Speaker 5: never knew if we would use it or not. He said,
- 24:34Speaker 5: but when we got to it, we thought, okay, look
- 24:37Speaker 5: hey this has got to go right. And the first
- 24:40Speaker 5: play we called we got the pass went out of bounds.
- 24:43Speaker 5: There was a penalty, I believe or something.
- 24:44Speaker 2: He told me.
- 24:45Speaker 5: He said, we felt like when we crossed right at
- 24:47Speaker 5: fifty he said, we got a shot. He said, I
- 24:48Speaker 5: don't know what kind of shot we got. He said,
- 24:50Speaker 5: we got a shot.
- 24:50Speaker 7: It was one of those games too. You could almost
- 24:52Speaker 7: see it happening.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you could feel it.
- 24:54Speaker 7: Like if man, maybe this is the which Ole Miss
- 24:57Speaker 7: has been fortunate lately, Like no, this is winning big
- 25:00Speaker 7: so Ole Miss fans.
- 25:02Speaker 1: I was one, so hang with me?
- 25:04Speaker 2: Was one.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Well, I guess I would you at disassociate from kids?
- 25:09Speaker 1: Having kids change that?
- 25:10Speaker 7: So I mean, I'm a game cock right now, a
- 25:12Speaker 7: Jack State game cock or a Choctaw or a wolf.
- 25:15Speaker 7: But fans here we've lived this before. If there's something
- 25:20Speaker 7: that's going to happen bad, you can see it before
- 25:22Speaker 7: it happens. You know what's coming. And that that had
- 25:24Speaker 7: that kind of feel like, oh man, there's wow, there's
- 25:27Speaker 7: like twenty something seconds left here. Yeah, and then they
- 25:30Speaker 7: complete a pass like, oh well, there're one more completion
- 25:33Speaker 7: from heaving it down there. You could you could just
- 25:35Speaker 7: one play after another and then it happened.
- 25:38Speaker 5: Number two team in the state. I am not surprised
- 25:41Speaker 5: to see this team at number two. I feel like
- 25:43Speaker 5: they are likely the team to beat in South seven
- 25:46Speaker 5: eight Oak Grove Drew Causey enters his twelfth season head
- 25:49Speaker 5: coach of the Oak Grove Warriors, two state titles, one
- 25:52Speaker 5: hundred and seven wins under his belt. You know, one
- 25:56Speaker 5: of the state's top programs. They return a lot of talent.
- 25:59Speaker 5: They return a couple guys.
- 26:01Speaker 2: You know.
- 26:01Speaker 5: Devin Robertson is one ranked as a four star two
- 26:03Speaker 5: four seven Sports, the number thirteenth player in Mississippi. He's
- 26:07Speaker 5: committed to Oklahoma. I believe they have another lineman on
- 26:11Speaker 5: one side of the ball, another that's headed to the
- 26:12Speaker 5: Big ten or headed somewhere.
- 26:14Speaker 7: They do you mentioned you mentioned Devin Roberts.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Yeah. Dj Dotson's an offensive lineman going to Georgia.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. Yeah.
- 26:21Speaker 7: And then they have another kid up front going that's
- 26:24Speaker 7: maybe not yet, but he's going to go somewhere.
- 26:26Speaker 1: They've got a bunch of players quarterbacks committed to Texas
- 26:28Speaker 1: A and M if that's still no, no, no, he's
- 26:31Speaker 1: going to Last I last I checked with this Kellen Hall, right, yes,
- 26:36Speaker 1: last I checked with him, he was heading to two
- 26:37Speaker 1: lane down.
- 26:38Speaker 5: Okay, wow, So two Lane came in here and got well,
- 26:41Speaker 5: so they flipped him then because he was originally committed
- 26:43Speaker 5: a M two.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Well, of course you know the coach is two lane
- 26:45Speaker 1: now Will Hall. But they've they've been over here working
- 26:49Speaker 1: and they got the kid out of Starvell and got
- 26:50Speaker 1: the kid out of Starvel.
- 26:51Speaker 5: So they got two Oak Grove at number two. This
- 26:54Speaker 5: feels like a year where you know, Oak Grove. If
- 26:59Speaker 5: it's not this year year, it may be a few
- 27:01Speaker 5: years because he's going to be somewhat of a rebuild.
- 27:03Speaker 7: Yeah, and they go through that every once in a while.
- 27:05Speaker 7: But I mean they're good they could. They could win
- 27:07Speaker 7: it and be the team out of the South and
- 27:08Speaker 7: nobody would Batterny.
- 27:11Speaker 5: Number three on the Mississippi Gridiron Top twenty five is
- 27:14Speaker 5: Oxford and Chris was talking about Oxford. You look at
- 27:17Speaker 5: Chris Cutcliffe, one of the better coaches in the state
- 27:18Speaker 5: of Mississippi. You mentioned they have a quarterback moving in
- 27:22Speaker 5: from the Memphis area. You said he's going to be.
- 27:25Speaker 7: The name is Pryce Renovich's. He has offers already. He's
- 27:28Speaker 7: starting to come in like it started with Syracuse as
- 27:30Speaker 7: one of those deals and now he's getting others.
- 27:33Speaker 2: What's his classification.
- 27:34Speaker 7: He'll be a junior and if you go watch some
- 27:37Speaker 7: of his tape, his video from the last last football season,
- 27:41Speaker 7: a sophomore.
- 27:42Speaker 1: Kids are really good.
- 27:44Speaker 7: But one thing that jumps out like there's a long
- 27:46Speaker 7: run at the beginning of it. I didn't know he
- 27:48Speaker 7: did that. Like he's very athletic, so like he's going
- 27:53Speaker 7: he's one of the I have him as the third
- 27:55Speaker 7: best quarterback in the state now, even though he hasn't
- 27:58Speaker 7: done anything yet and he's not on all state teams,
- 28:00Speaker 7: but just in the ranking of quarterbacks that k is.
- 28:03Speaker 5: Legit eleven and two last year they reached the north
- 28:06Speaker 5: half of the seven eight championship bracket. And look right
- 28:10Speaker 5: now it is no doubt too Polo in Oxford in
- 28:12Speaker 5: the north. Now we'll get to some of the others.
- 28:14Speaker 5: Number four on this list is the defending seven eight
- 28:16Speaker 5: champion Golfport Admirals. As you know, several golfport linemen are
- 28:21Speaker 5: receiving heavy division on interest. Reading right out of Missus
- 28:24Speaker 5: Big Gridiron Lawrence Robertson, you know he's he's earning a
- 28:28Speaker 5: ton of attention.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Five eleven.
- 28:30Speaker 5: Not the prototypical size of college recruits want, but I
- 28:34Speaker 5: mean you're talking about a guy that produced big last year,
- 28:36Speaker 5: ninety one tackles, twenty three tackles for loss. One of
- 28:39Speaker 5: the things that was so impressive outside of Cooper, Crosby
- 28:41Speaker 5: and Goldport is their size upfront on both sides, and.
- 28:45Speaker 7: They have more Like if I have quotes in there
- 28:48Speaker 7: from every coach for every team that we previewed, covers
- 28:52Speaker 7: is a little different. I didn't write these big, long previews.
- 28:54Speaker 7: So if half of the preview is basically just quotes
- 28:56Speaker 7: from the coach, which people care more about anyway, and
- 28:59Speaker 7: then just notes, you don't have to sit down and
- 29:00Speaker 7: take forever writing it, but they they have that kid
- 29:05Speaker 7: who is probably their third best defensive lineman. He'll be
- 29:08Speaker 7: a defensive defensive tackle on a D one program somewhere
- 29:12Speaker 7: next year. But like they have I know one I
- 29:16Speaker 7: want to say old Mistress offered the sophomore they have,
- 29:19Speaker 7: but they have two young defensive tackles coming along that
- 29:21Speaker 7: both have been offered big.
- 29:24Speaker 1: And they have this too. You might not know this,
- 29:26Speaker 1: you may.
- 29:27Speaker 7: But they have a tight end kid hadn't played since
- 29:30Speaker 7: the eighth grade. I think, I think man his name
- 29:33Speaker 7: maybe Jacob Frost is something like that.
- 29:35Speaker 1: I have to go back and look. But he's he's
- 29:37Speaker 1: six seven, two forty.
- 29:39Speaker 7: He's a hooper and like I said, hadn't played football
- 29:42Speaker 7: in forever, decided to play.
- 29:45Speaker 1: This year his first year.
- 29:47Speaker 7: And I can't remember what the offers are, but he's
- 29:49Speaker 7: already getting offered by every time, really right out of
- 29:53Speaker 7: the gate. But he's that kind of athlete. If you
- 29:55Speaker 7: see a picture of him, you watch him play basketball,
- 29:58Speaker 7: you see why.
- 30:00Speaker 1: He'll be big time for them. Yeah, the the prototype
- 30:02Speaker 1: is there. He looks like a college tight end even
- 30:04Speaker 1: though he's only a junior.
- 30:05Speaker 5: Two plow one Oak Grove to Oxford three, Gulfport four
- 30:10Speaker 5: is we're in inside of the twenty twenty six Misispi
- 30:12Speaker 5: Grid our magazine number five.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Madison Central.
- 30:16Speaker 5: Now, Toby's probably not gonna like this that you put
- 30:18Speaker 5: him up here, but uh, you know Madison Central. Now,
- 30:21Speaker 5: they did lose a running back here recently went to
- 30:25Speaker 5: a prep school, I believe. But the Jaguars return a
- 30:28Speaker 5: lot of talent. They've got some new coaches on that staff.
- 30:31Speaker 5: White Rogers is on that staff. He left Brandon. He
- 30:34Speaker 5: is at Madison now. This year this is one of
- 30:37Speaker 5: those retool years for them where they're going to be
- 30:39Speaker 5: pretty dunk good.
- 30:39Speaker 7: Well no, well last year was their big retool this
- 30:42Speaker 7: year and they graduated some kids. But like his core,
- 30:45Speaker 7: he started a tenth grade kid last year and you've
- 30:47Speaker 7: been through that with Brandon. It just takes a little while.
- 30:49Speaker 7: Like I remember when when Will Rogers was a tenth grader, Yeah,
- 30:52Speaker 7: Gardner Minshew was a tenth grader. You know, sometimes those
- 30:54Speaker 7: season takes time. So he went through that. He's his
- 30:58Speaker 7: kid at a Trip Smith. He'll be a junior that.
- 31:00Speaker 7: That kid's a really good football player. He does have
- 31:02Speaker 7: a running back, Michael Steven Unless I hope that's not
- 31:06Speaker 7: the one you're referring to. I haven't heard that yet,
- 31:08Speaker 7: but like he's committed to Duke had an offer from
- 31:11Speaker 7: Notre Dame, so didn't rush for a ton of yards
- 31:14Speaker 7: last year, like maybe eight or nine hundred yards, but
- 31:16Speaker 7: there were other reasons for that. But like big time
- 31:19Speaker 7: talented kid. He has an offensive lineman that's a big deal,
- 31:22Speaker 7: Jordan Seaton that's just a junior. So like they're going
- 31:24Speaker 7: to have a good football team. He has to replaced
- 31:26Speaker 7: a lot of defensive kids from last year, but they're
- 31:29Speaker 7: they're going to be a good football team again.
- 31:31Speaker 5: So recapping, we'll get to six through ten. Number one
- 31:33Speaker 5: is two below, two is Oak Grove, three is Oxford

- 38:10Speaker 5: team under New Leadership brett Morgan. And starkville they Bring Back,
- 38:15Speaker 5: kingston johnson who man at times last year he was
- 38:21Speaker 5: lightning in. A bottle there were some times where, you
- 38:24Speaker 5: know deer in, the headlight headlights. Hit him But with brett, coming,
- 38:27Speaker 5: over now how does he integrate the toughness that he
- 38:32Speaker 5: Brings From west point to a Team in starville that likes,
- 38:35Speaker 5: to traditionally, you know spread it and throw it around.
- 38:38Speaker 1: The yard it's going to.
- 38:38Speaker 7: Be different, you know he has a way of coaching
- 38:41Speaker 7: as a style of philosophy that he believes in offensively and,
- 38:44Speaker 7: of course you know what they Did At. West point
- 38:45Speaker 7: they just run the football, At people so he's having
- 38:48Speaker 7: to marry that with the people that.
- 38:50Speaker 1: He inherited like that.
- 38:51Speaker 7: Quarterback is he's not just, a thrower but he is
- 38:54Speaker 7: a big, time Passer and kingston's one of the best
- 38:57Speaker 7: duel threats in, the state so he can certainly. Run
- 38:59Speaker 7: it and even when with the interview and the quotes
- 39:04Speaker 7: that he Said, from, brett like you can tell that's
- 39:07Speaker 7: something that they're. Working on they got to marry those two.
- 39:09Speaker 7: Things together but they have a lot of talent, there
- 39:12Speaker 7: too the. Same thing and, You know i'm telling you during,
