SUMMARY: Moss Point High School’s football team was once considered a dynasty in Mississippi, winning five state championships in an 18-year span. In 1983, under the leadership of legendary coach Billy Wayne Miller, the team secured their first-ever state championship. Despite a losing season in 1982, the Tigers turned their performance around and went on to win nine consecutive games, finishing with an 11-3 record. Quarterback Chris Osgood and nose guard Chris Clausell played vital roles in the team’s success, with Osgood throwing for almost 1,600 yards and 20 touchdowns, and Clausell dominating on defense.
