Edited to change GCS to 3A but still. MRA was supposed to be the cream of the crop in MAIS.

What the heck?
Edited to change GCS to 3A but still. MRA was supposed to be the cream of the crop in MAIS.
Greenville Christian QB had 500 total yards and 7 TDs
They have Oakland TN in 2 weeks who is the consensus #1 team in Tennessee and the defending state champs. Dominated Brentwood twice last year. If they play like that defensively Oakland will name the score.
Real game or jamboree??Quote:

That is a 118 mile round trip to school each day.
What kind of transfer rule does the MAIS have if any? As you stated, it is a one hour, one way trip from Greenwood to Greenville.
I think their stud receiver is from Yazoo City. They got kids from around the delta.
It is a fairly hard rule between MAIS schools but I?m not aware of any strict rules when coming from MHSAA.Quote:

However I?ve never seen anything like that. GCS went 4-6, 4-7 and barely beating bad teams to 11-1 last season.Quote:

A 29 player roster still meant Iron-Man Football last year and this because of the lack of football talent depth.Quote:

Carroll parents were pissed too, but what you gonna do?Quote:

And outside of a few exceptions, much of MAIS exists where there aren't decent public school options, so you don't have a lot of schools that are smaller but consistently way better than their size would suggest because they take the guys that are almost, but not quite good enough at the competing public school.Quote:

That is some impressive numbers!Quote:
