With the month of November nearing its end, the players of the MSAHA conference are experiencing their first scheduled break of this season, Thanksgiving break. The Muddy River Counselors and the Hattiesburg Forerunners are the only two teams that have yet to take a loss this season, and ironically they are preparing to play each other on the 27th.
The PCA Paladins are back at it this year in the 2023-24 season. They look to defend the MSAHA titles in both 16U and 18U boys and girls, as well as some non-conference tournaments.

Over the past few months, the players participating in the MSAHA conference have been hard at work getting ready for the 2023-2024 season.

[TERRY, MS] The Terry High School Bulldogs have had a solid start, having already matched last season’s win total.

This loss was described by head coach Kris Thigpen as
