Week 2 - Mississippi High School Football Guru Poll
Jake Wimberly
Week one is in the books and what a fun weekend it was of high school football in the state of Mississippi. We are off and running as we eye the road to the state championship.
Below is our updated GURU poll.
Is your team GURU enough?
NO. 1 - The Oak Grove Warriors
Classification: Region 3 - 6A
Record 0-0
Next Game: Siminary (1-0)
It’s been a while since we had an undisputed preseason team, but this year it’s without a doubt the Oak Grove Warriors out of the Pine Belt.
Drew Causey has continued the tradition set before him by Nevil Barr and doubled down. The Warriors dominated 6A a year ago and have a combined 24-4 record the last two years and back to back state championship appearances.
Oak Grove returns Kabe Barnett at quarterback, but must find replacements in the backfield for Courtland Harris and Eugene Newell.
Wide receiver Tyrell Pollard should be one of the best in the state and OG returns several key components to a salty defense.
The target will be on the back of the Warriors in 2021, but make no mistake about it- this team is the GURU of Mississippi High School Football going into 2021.
