Varsity Voices | MHSAA Week 2 Team of the Week — Pascagoula's Zach Green

The State Championships Radio Network presents Varsity Voices — your home for Mississippi high school football. Co-Host Brandon Davis sits down with Pascagoula head coach Zach Green, the Mississippi Sports Medicine MHSAA Team of the Week, after a 17-8 win over Biloxi pushed the Panthers to 2-0.

ON THIS SEGMENT

• Sean Norvel rushes 24 times for 160 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 26 yards, as Pascagoula holds off Biloxi 17-8

• Green on the tape: pre-snap penalties were the low point — "that's not us" — but the defense still held Biloxi's offense in check

• Left points on the board: a stalled drive settled for a field goal, and a fourth-and-goal try came up just short

• Green's coaching tree runs through Bobby Hall and current Southern Miss coach Will Hall, then Blake Pennick at Ocean Springs and Gulfport, where he won a state title last season on a walk-off Hail Mary

• Senior receiver Kevin Marshall headlines a group Green says is drawing Division I interest

• Three straight 7A tests — at Ocean Springs, home for D'Iberville, at Gulfport — before the region opener at Picayune
