Anthony Carlyle and Phillip Morris formed a lasting friendship in just one season of coaching together.
This year, both led their teams to state championships after previously falling shortโshowing how their bond helped bring title victories back to Starkville and Columbus:
This is for the coach whoโs struggling right now.
We went 0โ22 at Pacelli. Every night was heavy. Every doubt was loud.
A few years laterโwe won a State Championship.
Failure isnโt a death sentence. Itโs a prerequisite.
Stay in it. Youโre closer than you think.
Coaches will ghost you. Job offers will disappear. Schools will pick someone else.
Donโt take it personal.
Build more connections , hit coaching clinics to get better, call five more coaches.
Every โnoโ is one step closer to the right โyes.โ

It's GAME DAY.
Big time game. We're not only playing for pride, but we're playing for a trophy. And it's time to bring that trophy home where it belongs. Some might think we'll lose, but why not us?
