We’ve actually tricked ourselves into thinking kids are just gonna stay at home all day long even when athletics is taken away from them. That’s just not reality. They are gonna burn that energy some kind of way, and it won’t be home in the yard alone.
How can you call a kid, who grew up in the hood watching his mom struggle, selfish because he sits out one game to ensure he gets his family out of the hood? Spend a little time with that one meal a day and no heat in your house and see if you still have those same thoughts.
Coaches, tread carefully when you ridicule a coach that has just been fired. It’s a devastating feeling when you’ve put your heart and soul into something and someone tells you it’s over. That phone call you have to make afterwards is even tougher. You’re always one day away.
Today was absolutely the toughest day of my life. It was the first day that I’ve ever gone without my dad. God called him home yesterday morning, and I’m still working to get it together. That dude was my everything. Hug on your loved ones. Life is so precious. Love you, Pops…
So happy for Coach Knox! Dude has been so good to me, and I’m a better coach because of him. Truly one of the good guys in the profession that never big times you. Too many coaches these days want your players but forget your name when they get them. He was as real as they come!
Is paying your dues as a coach even a thing anymore? Just way too many coaches who coach for a few years and wanna be the DC/PE teacher w/ two blocks! Too many out here ready to be a HC but can’t fix a sprinkler head or line a field! Learn some dos and don’ts! Have some patience!
The North Panola community needs your prayers! We lost a tremendous young man last night to a house fire. Jaylashun graduated last year and was a Bernard Blackwell All Star and an All State selection. He was truly an outstanding young man. Rest on, Jay!

Had the opportunity to visit with Ben Howland, Quinndary & Nick Weatherspoon before games tip-off here in St. Louis. MSU feels like they have the chance to prove doubters wrong this week & break back into the NCAA Tourney talk. Hear more from the Bulldogs at 6 on

Sports!
Basketball player. Didn’t play football 9th grade year. Decided to give it a try. A year and a half later this happens. Find your football coach. Play multiple sports. If a coach is telling you to specialize, he’s not for you! He’s for himself!
My big guy competed in the District Spelling Bee today in Hernando! Fell a little short, but he was clean though! Proud of him for winning at his school and making it this far!
Just ran into a former player at the gym. Haven’t seen him in 12 years. Wasn’t the most talented and never played. Asked what he’s doing. His answer - I’m in the military and next year I’m headed to SEAL school. Just never know what a kid’s full potential is! Love em up anyway!
So strange to see people steadily casting stones at Hugh Freeze for his shortcomings. Let us all remember that one day we all will have to kneel and hope to hear “well done.” How awesome it is to know our Lord isn’t that judgemental! Forgive us all...
Shout out to my main man for getting it done in the classroom this year!

Please send up a prayer for these guys! They came and competed with us and some other schools today in 7v7! Driving from Greenwood to Starkville every Monday shows their willingness to get better! Just never know! 🙏🏾
Bernard Blackwell All Star. JUCO. OVC. Vikings Practice Squad. Vikings 53 Man Roster. One catch for 11 yards today versus the Bears. Guess how many stars he had out of high school? Stop chasing stars and chase greatness! Chase your dreams!

Got back to work today after Christmas/Covid break! Covid had its way with me for 9 days, and then pneumonia tried to finish me off! Two trips to the ER! The absolute worst I’ve ever felt in my life! I made it though, and I’m so thankful! Wear your mask! Wash your hands! PRAY!
Raise your hand if you’ve ever coached in a National Championship game? I’ll wait...
So, how is that you have any idea what should have been done at that time?
Most people never stop to realize that as coaches during the season we spend more time with other people’s kids than we do with our own! That alone is worth support! You pour into kids all week, and you get 5-10 minutes after the game with yours! Still the greatest profession...
A few weeks back a “concerned citizen” rode by our stadium and had some concerns about the look of our football field! Swing back by any time and enjoy! It’s not turf, but we do what we can!
Been around the block at least once in this coaching profession, so I feel like I can give a little advice. If you tell a HC that you’re gonna come on board and he gets you board approved and a contract, don’t call him the day before to say you’re going somewhere else.
Do y’all know how long I’ve been waiting to use this?! 😂 Today is finally the day! Such a blessing to still be here! So much to be thankful for but living to see 40 is definitely one of them! 🙏🏾🎂
Kylin Hill led the SEC in rushing yards during the regular season last year and finished 10th overall among Power 5 offensive players.
"In 2020 he gets to showcase his abilities as a runner and receiver in Mike Leach's offense."

Starkville. Vicksburg. Memphis. Orlando. Two hours of sleep before a 6 am flight. All of that for this moment! Young man has had every reason to quit! Went from not playing any snaps at TE last year to playing 60 snaps at DE! What a turnaround! Couldn’t be more proud!
#BirdGang
These guys came in locked in today and put up 42 points in the first half! First goal reached - District Champs! Still a lot of work to be done! 1-0!

On the way home from saying a final goodbye to a 36 year old relative. He went to take a shower Friday night and passed away while in the shower. We never know the day or the hour, so hug your people and tell them how much you love them!
Another year! Another school! Same results! All A’s for the year again! All A’s for the sixth straight year! Highest iReady Reading! Student of Distinction! Regional Science Fair! Middle school here we come! Getting it done in the classroom!
Shoutout to
@bshields0244
for all of his work! I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way, but you are doing a great job of keeping us informed on athletics in our state! Appreciate ya! Keep fighting the good fight! ✊🏾💯
The sun rose this morning! Just could not be more thankful for this group of guys! Showed up every single day ready to work! Last night didn’t go how we wanted, but you either win or learn! This is only the beginning for North Panola Football! So proud to be their coach!

Kid tore two ligaments in his ankle on the second play of the first game of the season! After surgery, he worked so hard to get back. In his first game back, he hurt it again and wanted to give up football. Battled adversity and lead us through the playoffs and to a Ship!

Sometimes you can’t control what happens in life, but you can control your response and how high you continue to rise above! Validation will never ever come from man when you know your purpose and your worth!
One of the first things I saw when I opened Twitter a second ago! A door closed today, but I know there’s another one opening soon! This is so good and so on time!
Keep your head up
@H_Kylin
! You’re a superstar in more ways than one! You know who’s really in your corner, and you know the fake love! Keep chopping! The real ones know! ✊🏾💯
I say it every year, and I’m saying it again. For safety and heat illness to be such a hot topic, I cannot understand why kids are given less than two weeks to prepare to play a live football game. The more skilled athletes (College/NFL) get a month to prepare! Makes no sense!
Lol. So a head coach can’t tweet to another school about coming to check out his players?? Ole Miss isn’t our rival school it’s State’s! We have an obligation to kids not a single university! Go away!
Every good run has come to and end, and I’m so glad I got to coach the guys that ended it! They worked all week and got paid tonight!

It’s so sad to see what the transfer portal is doing to high school kids! These kids have worked their entire lives for the moment to sign a scholarship, and that moment may never come regardless of how good they are. So tough to see!
Guys, your high school coach is the greatest source for helping you get to college! Stop letting these guys latch on to you who can’t even pick up the phone and call an assistant coach at the college they claim they can get you to! They have zero relationships! Don’t trust talk!
Way too many “we play in the rain” tough coaches on Twitter that don’t have that same attitude when it’s time to make the schedule! Just do what you feel is best for your program and let everyone else do the same!
We are living in a world where players who don’t show up for workouts like pics of their teammates who ARE working out and going to camps to get better! How does that even work???? I’m mind blown! You like pics of me grinding, but you don’t want to grind with me?! I don’t get it!
I remember a time when it was just good common courtesy to call a head coach and inform him that a kid is about to receive an offer. Whatever happened to those days?
This is what makes coaching so much more difficult than what it used to be! This type of stuff is being glorified! I’m sure he’s a great football player, but the kid who made the guy miss with one cut can’t even get people to clap for him!
I know as coaches we get stuck on our philosophies sometimes, but you just gotta run the football sometimes don’t you? Teams are practically daring them to run.
I think some people tweet just to be able to come back and say I told you so! Stop wishing bad on these kids just because you wanna be right about COVID-19!
One thing I know - God is still in control! All I’m looking for is my “well done,” so I’m not worried about what’s in anyone else’s heart! Hate is something that person will have to answer for - not me. We messed up when left and right became the focus versus up above.
