Prep Football Preview 2023: Powerful Picayune has sights set on yet another state crown
SUMMARY: The Picayune Maroon Tide, two-time defending Class 5A state prep football champions in Mississippi, will move up to Class 6A due to reclassification. Despite the promotion, the Maroon Tide will still face familiar opponents in the new Region 4-6A, including Pascagoula, George County, Long Beach, West Harrison, and Hancock. Head coach Cody Stogner, in his fourth season, aims to continue the team's success as they chase another state title. However, due to expansion and other issues, Picayune will not meet their arch-rival Pearl River Central in the regular season for the first time in 19 years.
