Just as I was putting the finishing touches on what was to be the first football entry for 2009, the local high school football wrap-up show on WLOX-TV showed and mentioned DeAndre Brown on the sidelines of Ocean Spring’s High’s game tonight.  Brown told WLOX’s Jeff Shepard that he won’t play vs. Alcorn (thus his being in O.S. instead of in Hattiesburg tonight) but will be back next week vs. UCF.

Brown had recently been cleared by his doctor to participate in full-contact practice.
