And Pearl was 5A were they not? Meaning they had about 3 times as many kids in HS as Prep had

Pearl was 4A then and they got hammered by a lot of teams during that period.
Prep makes a big deal about beating really lousy Pearl team by 50. That same Pearl team lost to Canton by 4+ touchdowns and Yazoo City. Are you claiming Canton and Yazoo City are football powerhouses?
The point coach is trying to make is that Pearl had a much larger enrollment. Regardless of what you think, or what coach34 thinks, the facts are what they are. The MAIS schools have won the majority of the football games played against the MHSAA schools. This is despite the fact that in the vast majority of the games, the MAIS school was playing a MHSAA school with a much larger enrollment. Prep vs. Bassfield was one of the few exceptions where the public school was willing to play a private school and the private school had the larger enrollment. Usually it is the other way around.
Prep went toe to toe with Oxford on the road- a top 8 team in the Super 10- and played them pretty respectably. They lost to them by twelve in large part due to a blocked punt. And this is not one of their better teams- last year they were outstanding. They have a good history of putting players in the SEC and in the NFL.
They've beaten Madison Central in 7 on 7 and Northwest Rankin in a jamboree for whatever that's worth.
