Just a little tidbit to add..........

I thought about Jesse Beck shitting his pants on the sideline just now, and I threw up in my mouth. Those of you who remember our 8th grade know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. How is that for a mental picture?

Why the hell could we never beat Louisville?

Think about it- as a class, we were 36-7. All 7 of those losses were to THREE schools. We lost once to Clinton (in fact, we never beat them until 11th grade- those guys had our number). We lost an infamous 4 times to South Panola (but we finally got the better of them), but if you guys remember, we played Louisville twice and they beat our ass each time. We opened our varsity careers against them which we responded with a resounding 21-7 loss. If you remember, this kept our losing streak going for another week before we finally beat Meridian ("Coach Pogue cried.....seriously") after losing 3 games and tying the last game of our 8th grade season, and then after our 0-7 9th grade season, this game brought our winless streak to 12 games. Well, after our run to the North Half Championship game in 1997, we opened up ON THE ROAD at Louisville the next season in a game Coach Justice called "personal" because of his history there. I do remember a few things about this game- first, Beaver trying to tackle Michael Goss. Also, we put the ball on the turf maybe 5 times. In fairness to BoBo, he was probably fighting jitters out of this world. The Wildcats made the most of it and wound up beating us 20-2. Despite being one of the greatest high school football teams in Mississippi history, the Louisville Wildcats can take pride in the fact that they still have never lost to us.
