Favre chasing state title
HATTIESBURG, Miss. — While Brett Favre isn’t sure what he’ll be doing next year, he does know what he’ll be doing on Friday: Trying to win a Mississippi high school state championship.
The three-time NFL Most Valuable Player is the offensive coordinator for Oak Grove High School near his home in Hattiesburg. Oak Grove will try to capture its first state championship when it faces Tupelo in Jackson, Miss.
“Who knows if I’ll do it next year,” said Favre, who is in his second year coaching at the high school. “I really don’t know. It’s been a lot of fun. I enjoy it, it’s easy and it’s not too time-consuming.”
The 44-year-old Favre grew up about an hour away in Kiln, Miss., and played his college football just eight miles down the road at Southern Mississippi. He lives in Hattiesburg with his family and has immersed himself in the local sports scene — coaching high school football and watching his youngest daughter play volleyball.
