Christmas traveling

Fellow Golden Eagles I just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and safe travels during the holidays. There's already a lot going with it being Christmas and to throw in a trip to Dallas on top of it just adds to the traveling.
The MHP holiday season began yesterday and will continue till Jan 2nd. what that means is that the MHP keeps totals on citations and wrecks and all other activity that we deal with. Yesterday in Troop J, the Hattiesburg district, we worked 14 wrecks and responded to many more that really didn't get counted because there was no report done. All of these were due to the weather. I implore each and every one to be mindful of the weather when traveling. It appears that this year it's gonna be a stormy Christmas.
I know that regardless of the weather we all have places we have to be. So leave earlier and allow plenty of time to get where you're going so you don't have to rush. Not only does that make you drive faster it also takes your mind off driving. Like I said, all the wrecks we worked yesterday were due to folks going too fast on a wet road.
Although these wrecks we worked had either no injuries or just minor injuries we were lucky. In Troop F, in Booenville, there was a 19 year old female killed in a single car wreck yesterday. That's a Christmas that is forever ruined for a family. So please drive slowly and carefully.
Also if you consume any brown water or other adult beverage please have a designated driver. There will be folks out tonight specifically looking for impaired drivers. And it's not a fun thing to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in a jail cell. But it is better than having a wreck and being killed or killing someone else.
So be safe and have a very Merry Christmas. And if you need the MHP just dial *47 on your cell and it will get you to the nearest Troop radio room nearest you.

Offensive tackle for next season

we signed zero juco help for Spring. This is what we go into Spring with. Tyler Stutzman Rjr. 6-4 280 zero D1 snaps. Ty Pollard zero snaps. Hayden Mcmahan Rso 6-4 270 zero D1 snaps. Drake Dorbeck 6-6 320. Rfr. ZeroD1 snaps. Has yet to be medically cleared for contact. Not sure he has even been able to lift. Jacob Fleming 6-4 305 45 snaps at tackle this season. Better suited to play guard. I would like to see him at 290-295 in hopes of improving his feet. From this group we must replace Hill 6-6 315 35 career starts. Price 6-4 320. 19 career starts. Hill and Price had a great deal to do with how well we ran the football this season on the edge, as well as keeping Nick clean from the outside. Looking at the group we have to work with in the Spring we have a long way to go to be near as good up front as we were this season. Finding some top shelf juco help was critical. I thought the winning season might have helped with that, but the P5 teams have gotten more dependent on good juco tackles over the years. P5 pretty much cleaned out the difference makers. It will be interesting to see how coach Meadows develops this group. Personally don't see much legit talent except for Pollard, who will need reps and more time in the weight room. I had high hopes for Dorbeck, but am concerned with his health. Stutzman must absolutely be ready to protect Nick's blind side right out of the gate. Obviously still need to build our talent and depth at the tackle position. Feel good about guard.
