Meet the Tide night dodges the rain

by Carey Meitzler

The threat of rain and lightning in the distance did not deter the Maroon Tide Nation as they turned out to get a glimpse of the

2006 Maroon Tide football team.  Also on hand was the Maroon Tide Marching Band, NJROTC, cheerleaders and Pride of the

Tide from both the high school and junior school. 

After the introductions of the above-mentioned groups and the varsity football team, the Maroon Tide held a scrimmage under the

overcast conditions that soon gave way to a beautiful rainbow in the eastern sky. 

Picayune opens their season on Friday, August 25th, at perennial power Moss Point.
