What we learned in Week 9 of high school football across the Mississippi Coast

Week 9 delivered. Stone and West Harrison each took big steps toward a playoff berth and Bay High snapped a 20-game losing streak dating back to 2024 by beating Forrest County AHS. Our biggest stories this week come from the Mississippi Coast’s top classifications. The results of Friday’s contests have set up a title match in 7A and gave us a clearer picture of who will be hosting playoff games in 6A. Championship game set The seemingly inevitable proved to be just that. Week 10 will offer the de facto Region 4-7A championship game between Gulfport and D’Iberville. Gulfport’s win over Biloxi secured the matchup for the district’s top seed. The reigning 7A state champions will host the first 8-0 D’Iberville team since 2020 on Friday. And with the two officially on opposite ends of the 7A South bracket, it’s entirely possible that this won’t be the only time these teams meet. The Warriors were off this week and had an opportunity to watch Gulfport’s 35-3 win over the Indians. Interestingly, the Admirals showed a unique, multiple-style offense against Biloxi that they hadn’t shown in prior games. A bit of gamesmanship on the part of Blake Pennock? Only time will

Mississippi DEI ban can go into full effect after Fifth Circuit reversal

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Portions of a Mississippi ban on diversity, equity and inclusion practices in public schools can go into effect after the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a lower court's ruling that blocked sections of the law from being enforced. The parts of the law in question prevent public schools from requiring diversity training and maintaining DEI-related programs, courses and offices. It also bans public schools from discussing a list of “divisive concepts” related to race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity and national origin. Public schools that violate the law could lose state funding. The ban passed in April 2025 and is being challenged by a group of educators, students, parents and activists who say the law violates their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The plaintiffs have several weeks to file a petition for rehearing with the Fifth Circuit. The law would take effect seven days after the petition deadline passes or if a petition is denied, according to McKenna Raney, an attorney representing the plaintiffs. The Fifth Circuit also ordered that the case be reassigned to a different district court judge after U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate issued a “botch job” temporary restraining
