Doubt it. They not even the biggest in 4AD2 at the moment. 

The are bigger than most in D2. They came in at 824. Way more than the other teams in their district. They barley made the cutoff for the D2.

Tatum, Beckville, Elysian Fields, Gary, and Carthage.  What other district am I missing?  Tatum and Elysian Fields pull from Harrison County as well.  

When’s the last time a Carthage kid that was decent went to Tatum? Don’t Carthage recruit Beckville hard? Seem to remember hearing something along those lines.

Well maybe I missed something but I was just pointing out what schools are in the county.  My kids could have gone to either Beckville or Carthage.  Carthage, Beckville, and Gary interchange kids all the time.  These are small schools.  Gary doesn't even have football.  Move in's  are almost non existent without some prior connection to the area.  Best jobs in the area are either oil/gas related or at a nearby coal mine.  Global warmers have all but destroyed those.

    • I think this whole discussion is getting overly hyped. My son played 3 sports and went on to play college football (still in school). I played 4 sports and went on to play college football. Neither of us (separated by 30+ years) got anything but support from our respective AD's and coaches.
    • ADs don't allow them to do school baseball drills in the middle of football season, though.  so the double standard is still there.
    • "AD's don't allow them to play"  that's false.  I've watched many of fall ball games and I can name 3 or 4 SETX teams that had football players on the team. 
    • I would not say NO ONE REALLY CARES WHAT HAPPENS WITH BASEBALL.. All you have to do is go to Ford Park every weekend and look at how much money parents pour into baseball.. lol I get what you are saying.. but look at it from this point of view... WINS look good on resume correct? Would a AD do better if he has all his multi-sport kids stay in his program? Again they are usually the more athletic kid. Is his actions driving away the more athletic kids to "concentrate on one sport"? Sometimes more is not better.. Kids get burned out really quick if they believe their AD/Coach does not care about their personal athletic dreams and desires.  Like I said.. a Good AD knows how to navigate this issue. 
    • Never understood why you can't be good at all 4 major sports. If you are talented enough, and athletic enough to be a Regional Finalist football team, then you would think you would be athletic enough to at least be competitive in basketball. If you wanted to be...... And as big a baseball town as Jasper is, where did that tradition go? Where are those kids now?
