How Pearl River County Became The Home Of Three Top-Tier Teams
SUMMARY: In Pearl River County, some of the best high school baseball in the state is showcased, with notable teams including Picayune, Pearl River Central, and Poplarville excelling in their respective classes. Picayune leads in Class 6A, maintaining an unbeaten region record and recently securing a victory against George County. Pearl River Central, also unbeaten in its region, boasts a 20-2 overall record and anticipates a game that could decide the region title. Poplarville has secured the top seed in 8-4A, ensuring home-field advantage in the Class 4A playoffs. The success of these programs is attributed to a tradition of competitiveness and a strong youth baseball system, where travel ball programs, good coaching, and high-level competition play significant roles in developing the players’ skills from a young age.

SUMMARY: The Gautier Gators (1-1) are set to host the Pascagoula Panthers (2-0) for the 24th Singing River Classic on Friday. These teams, separated by the Pascagoula River, have a long-standing rivalry that began in 2002 after the Gautier school was established. Historically, the Gators dominated early matchups but experienced a “Decade of Dominance” from 2010 due to Pascagoula’s success. Recent years have seen Gautier’s resurgence, winning the last three encounters, including a narrow victory last season. Pascagoula leads the series 13-9, with both teams having made playoff appearances in recent seasons.
