Their attendance is very very low for a division 1 team. They need to do something with that program because in the 90's it used to be a good program and people packed that place to watch Southern play in the old Metro conference.

He has a kid playing for PCS in Hattiesburg. They are in the Academy Overall semifinals and are coached by an MSU alum/SPS poster.
