25 Teams in 25 Days: Poplarville HornetsIt was the first official day of practice for the Poplarville Hornets, and they’re back like nobody left—almost literally, as the vast majority of their starters are suiting up again in 2026. Not only do the Hornets return the majority of their starters, but they’re also a veteran-heavy team with 25 seniors on the roster. “I’m really excited to see this team just because I’ve grown up with all of the seniors,” said Ty Keys. There’s a lot of expectations and we’re going to have to play really good and really hard every single week,” said Beech. The Poplarville Hornets will kick off their 2026 campaign on the road as they travel to West Harrison High School on August 28.
