Sun Herald: Ocean Springs football taking aim at 7A championship under new coach

OCEAN SPRINGS — Jake Bramlett isn’t so interested in a rebuild at Ocean Springs.

The newly minted head coach has the reigns to the Greyhounds program after serving as offensive coordinator the last three seasons and has no plans to slow the momentum built in recent years.

Bramlett is wrapping up his first spring in the head role filled when Blake Pennock left his post for the same position at Gulfport.

Pennock’s departure also coincides with back-to-back Mr. Football winner and Alabama enrollee Bray Hubbard’s graduation, but Bramlett doesn’t see a reset button in his office.

“The big picture that we brought in here three years ago was that we’re not just competing with the Coast anymore, we’re trying to get to the top of the state,” Bramlett told the Sun Herald. “We feel like over the last three years we earned a spot at the big boy table. Now it’s time to stand on top of it.”

Bramlett is an offensive-minded coach who helped build the uniquely high-powered offense that has averaged 42 points a contest over the last 25 games.
