Its a good day any day that anyone in Oxford is pissed off

7A vs. 5A, I wouldn't play them either if I'm Lafayette, especially since I'm pretty sure they talk shlt and act all high and mighty.

That’s not a bad thing…

Rivalries change…

Maybe I’ll post links to old pre-playoff conferences from the Mississippi High School Football History site and folks will see who used to be rivals in the 1970s…

We've played Pascagoula and Gulfport more than anybody, but I don't know if I would consider them rivals. We've played them in every decade since the 1920s to present. Not every year, but most years. Most of that has to do with them being in the Big 8 Conference with Picayune, but we still played them frequently before the Big 8 days as well.

Question is why announce this now. They’re in the 1st year of a 2 year cycle. They're already playing Oxford next year. Things could change a year from now when it’s time to schedule for 27-28.

I don’t believe it’s a snap decision. It’s been coming for awhile and it isn’t all strictly due to on the field competition.

Oxford has been annexing outside of city limits lately which is probably another reason to cancel the game. County folks are pissed…

The demographics of those two schools are also changing…for several reasons.

OSD map lines extend far outside of city limits. The two are anything but congruous.
