Gene Phelps of the Daily Journal talked with Classic Chairman Mike Nobles about the 18th version of the Hotbed Classic.
There are some pretty interesting match-ups… what do you guys/gals think about the Classic’s lineup.

Like the last four, but Tupelo and Nettleton have a regular season game too, so that’s kind of watered down. Ingomar and Myrtle could make their games interesting,

I agree. It’s kind of like Bruce and Calhoun City – they will be playing each other for the third time this season Friday night.
As for Ingomar, it depends on which team shows up.

Ripley will make Ingomar look like a junior high school!

From what I gather, Tupelo had to drop the Nettleton regular season finale game because of MHSAA cut backs. Why THAT game, I don’t know. But still, a county rivalry at an event like this is just stupid. And on top of that, they’re playing at 3:30. U’ve got to be kidding me. It should be right before the last game.

Tupelo and Nettleton do not play any other time this year. This game was requested.The reason they are playing @ 3:30 is because if they played the last game then there fans might not be able to get in the gym. The gym is usually packed well before then and they have to lock the doors until people leave.

Well in that case… that changes my opinion.
Last time Tupelo and Nettleton played each other at the Hotbed – it was a great game. If I’m not mistaken (which I probably am) Nettleton came from behind in the final mins of the game to get the win over Tupelo?
