Northwest drives the RCSD. They had a private foundation a few years ago and when Weathersby found out he made the school split between each other. What needs to happen is consolidate Pisgah/Pelahatchie, Richland/Florence, and Puckett/McLaurin. Too many schools in that district.

As far as football, the players don't wanna play for Hurt. They played for Coates. I would know as I played for both of them at Northwest. Hurt has ran off several guys this year who are at MRA now as juniors who started as sophomores. Hurt's ego is too big. For a guy to win at Northwest, he needs to have a relationship with the players; that's big everywhere. I think that's why Brandon is doing so well because Peterson has that relationship with his players. My junior year, the year we beat MC at their place, we were a better team then them. Had Coates kept running the ball in the playoff game we would've won. We had inside their 20 two times in the 4th by running, but then he decided to pass it when we were whipping them up front just like we had done the first game, I was on the OLine so I'm still mad he didn't run it late. Now the Brights Light game, we just weren't ready. I think we practiced a total of 3 hours that week. MC did a good job of not letting Ramone break any tackles. It was a long night in that offense huddle.
