Prep Football Preview 2023: George County looks to shake off playoff rust in new surroundings
SUMMARY: George County High School’s football team is hoping to break a 16-year playoff win drought as they move up a class in the Mississippi High School Activities Association’s expansion to seven classifications. The team’s last playoff win was in 2007 when they defeated Meridian in the Class 5A South State finals. Since then, they have suffered six consecutive playoff losses. The Rebels will be competing in the revamped Region 4-6A, which includes teams like Pascagoula and Hancock. Coach James Ray will lead the team in his fourth season and their first game is against East Central Hornets.

SUMMARY: Fredrick Nicholson, a standout linebacker at Gautier High School, was pivotal to the team’s defense and led the Coast in tackles. His strong work ethic and leadership were influenced by his family, especially his father, a retired Army sergeant. Dedicated to football since childhood, Nicholson developed a pregame fishing ritual that helped him stay centered. Despite the loss in the state championship, he emphasized growth and community support over the final score. Nicholson’s commitment extends beyond football; he is involved in sports journalism and aims to continue learning while pursuing a future in football or athletic administration.
