Thanks To 228 Sports, I’m Back In The Saddle With Rebirth Of Wick’s Picks
SUMMARY: In the 1970s, I had an unforgettable experience horseback riding bareback as a chaperone for a church event, which was painful and chaotic. Now, I’m excited to announce my return to sports writing with the revival of “Wick’s Picks” for 228 Sports, after last writing a football column in the early 1990s. I’ll make weekly predictions on local high school games, hoping to achieve a 60-65% accuracy rate. I invite readers to share their feedback. This week’s predictions include outcomes for key matchups like Moss Point at Pascagoula and Brandon at Picayune.

SUMMARY: Poplarville football, established in 1911, finally secured its first state championship under Coach Jay Beech, who has led the Hornets to the playoffs every season since 2014. With a 29-28 victory over Louisville, Poplarville claimed the Class 4A title, overcoming a fourth-quarter deficit. Beech praised his team’s resilience, particularly in light of injuries faced throughout the season. This year, the Hornets won 10 out of 11 one-possession games. Beech expressed pride in the team’s execution in high-pressure situations, marking this championship as a significant milestone for both the program and its players.

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.
