With or without Hall, the Maroons are the hands-down favorite to win AAAAA, IMO.

Limitless talent and elite coaching are a tough combination to beat. They'll be just fine either way.

This might be the most ridiculous statement I've seen in quite a while! PC with or without Hall will NOT be the favorite period to win 5A state much less the hands down favorite without him. PC has a solid team but the NL game with Hall playing showed that they are very vulnerable and although they have a good defense, the fact they shutout MS minus Damien Harris and held NL to 8 points doesn't exactly mean their defense is state championship caliber? The Hall injury is HUGE in considering their chances to make a deep run in the playoffs, if he is not able to play the rest of the year IMO they will not even make it to the championship game much less be the hands down favorite to win it all.......
