Prep Football Preview 2023: PRC hoping a new coach and new class will bring better results
SUMMARY: Despite ongoing changes in Mississippi prep football, Pearl River Central has struggled in recent years. They have missed the playoffs for the past seven seasons and have consistently finished near the bottom of their region. The team has also had a high turnover of head coaches, with Jacob Webb becoming the fifth in 15 seasons. Webb comes from Jackson Academy where he had success, leading the team to the state title game for two consecutive years. Pearl River Central will face new challenges this season as they move up to Class 6A and change regions. They will start their season against South Pike on August 25th.

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.
