“There are also Class 5A South States shirts which are $15 for short sleeved and $15 for long sleeved shirts. They are maroon.”

Touchdown Club President Sandy Kane Smith is currently working on a second order.

“I’d like to start working on the second order when the kids return to school and turn it in the following Monday,” Smith said. “We currently have some preordered but I am holding off until the second week of school to build our volume.”

“Merchandise order forms can be acquired at Picayune Memorial High School, Mike’s Quick Stop, Western Auto or Maroon Tide football players, cheerleaders or Touchdown Club members,” Stockstill said. “Also, forms can be printed out from www.Maroontide.com.”

Stockstill requested that all payments and forms be turned in to Picayune Memorial High School.

“This is a great opportunity to support the students who brought home the state title,” she said.
