Picayune High - #1 Team in Mississippi. Anyone know about them?

Picayune is usually good but they slide classifications everytime. Maroon Tide usually rolls 4A when with Stan, Bay, Stone, Forrest. When in 5 they struggle some with the Gulfport schools.

I'm thinking their coach has been there for a million seasons and they are a running team. They are the Maroon Tide and their unis kinda look like Bama. It smells in their stadium. That's the extent of my knowledge.

They are a new addition to the regional football powers. I think they had a lot of influx from Louisiana after Katrina.

They've kinda always been a top team. Usually always in the playoffs. They have just gotten better this season. I'm not sure why.

I work in the PIC three days a week. Mostly undeserved community and meth heads running rampant. However they are proud of their football team and I know they won the state championship last year. But don't go there unless you have to, miserable hick town

CSB. Good times.

I agree with most things in this thread about the town itself. Though it has certainly been improving over the last several years.
Almost another Slidell, methheads included.

Picayune's has almost exclusively been a power running team. Coach Dodd Lee refuses to adopt a 2 minute offense, or, for that matter, more than 2 passing plays.

They have a solid defense, and have performed extremely well all year with the exception of the game against Pearl River Central. They were run all over, but narrowly escaped with at TD in the last few minutes.

They'll cakewalk anyone in their bracket with home-field advantage, though.

TL;DR: No, I doubt that they could beat Hoover or John Curtis. But, as for MS, they deserve the ranking.
