Maroon Tide Starts Early

by Carey Meitzler

The Maroon Tide got an early start on the first day of school as they continued their first week of practice. 

With classes starting today, the team started practice near daybreak and everyone was on time and ready to go

according to Head Coach Dodd Lee.

"All sixty-nine (69) were on time this morning.  That's impressive.  This is a good bunch of kids.  They've worked

hard and are in good physical shape.  I'm real happy with the attitude they have right now. We've just got to keep getting better."

Picayune's Meet the Tide is scheduled for Thursday, August 18th, and the Maroon Tide will travel to USM the next day, Friday,

August 19th to play Ocean Springs and Hattiesburg in a jamboree.  Picayune opens the season hosting Moss Point on August 26th.
