2007-2008 season
State Championships
football state champions: laurel high school (laurel is a city in jones county for morons living in the delta and north mississippi who don't know their
state geography)
cheerleading state champions: west jones high school
Boys Golf state champtions: west jones high school
team tennis state runnersup: laurel high school Note: it came down to the mixed doubles game between Laurel and Oxford and oxford won it all in a third set
tiebreaker
individual tennis state champions: mixed doubles: south jones high school
Baseball
West jones south state runnersup
boys track: 1st place south state: laurel high school
girls track: 2nd place south state: west jones high school
Semifinals:
boys soccer: west jones high school
girls soccer: west jones high school
So much dominance and talent in jones county that will go overlooked as usual, i know afrodawg has retreated to his back bedroom and is trembling in fear.
what irritates me is that as usual, msu will spend time and money recruiting morbidly obese delta farmer boys and jackson thugs to represent the university
instead of coming to where the superior talent is: in south mississippi, particularly jones county.

and I barely see South Jones. But West Jones and Laurel should both finish high in the overall sports standings for 4A. You also didn't mention that West
Jones made a pretty strong run in the football playoffs before losing to Laurel.

i checked, the only sports accomplishment from nej was girls basketball i think in the quarters at the state, and same with south jones, only accomplishment
was the mixed doubles in the individual tennis tourney. otherwise, it was mostly divied up between wj and lhs, with i think wj dominating across the boards.

The name of the school is R.H. Watkins High School.
I went there, class of 84. |

Watkins's athletic teams have always been referred to as "Laurel" | #4 | ||

both by the school and by everyone else. In fact, their current football helmets have an LHS logo on them and back in the day, they used to have just an L on
them.

I think the Watkins influence comes from the people who attended Gardiner when it was a high school. There are people who talk about graduating from Gardiner
up to the early 60s until Watkins was built, and then there are the Watkins people...

JohnBoy wrote: a few years back they changed the name from Watkins to Laurel High School. It was voted on by students i think, and the reason for the proposal of
changing the name had to do with indentification purposes for other around the state.

So, to recap, a county big enough for four Class 4A schools is puffing its chest out about having the worst 4A football champion in 20 years, a cheerleading
title and a golf title. A banner year in JC.

I played football for Laurel. It has always been known as LHS to all students and South MS. But for those of you who live in other parts of the State such as
"the Delta" and "Tupelo" you wouldn't know that because your heads are so far up your own asses you can't see what surrounds
you....

board a long time but have to ask, where did all this Jones Co. vs the rest of the state shit start? I must have missed something.
So maybe the new meaning of "Croomed" should be you just got your ass beat. And, given time, Sylvester is going to do it to you again. --Dan Wetzel

People from Tupelo have their heads up their asses because they don't give a shit about Laurel? Why should they?

I think that pretty much trumps any cheerleading success. Newton County has a state basketball title, two softball titles, a baseball south state appearance,
another basketball finals appearance and a deep run in football.
