SUMMARY: Picayune’s high school football team is preparing for a Friday night showdown against Hattiesburg in the Class 6A state championship game. Despite a laid-back approach during the week, Coach Cody Stogner believes his team’s tenacity is key to their success. The Maroon Tide, on a nine-game win streak, relies on key players like Darrell Smith, Triston Cooper, and Bam Parker, who play both offense and defense. Picayune’s strong run game, led by Smith, will face Hattiesburg’s undefeated squad, which boasts Mississippi’s Mr. Football, Deuce Vance. Stogner stresses execution, minimizing mistakes, and controlling what they can.
