Money05 Posted August 25, 2025 Share Posted August 25, 2025 As we are approaching Week 1, I thought I would compile a list of the Top 20 biggest games to watch in the state IMO 1A-7A. These games are in no particular order. This list may be small school and also south heavy because that’s what i’m more familiar with. Feel free to add to this list and submit your picks on who you think comes out on top in some of these matchups. Lots of good matchups this week regardless of class. Biggersville @ West Lowndes Lumberton @ Purvis Mize @ Taylorsville Vardaman @ Nanih Waiya Enterprise Clarke @ Stringer Choctaw County @ East Webster JDC @ MRA Heidelberg @ Noxubee County Raleigh @ D’iberville Quitman @ Kemper County Columbia @ Hartfield Academy Seminary @ West Lauderdale Kosciusko @ Neshoba Central West Point @ Louisville Laurel @ West Jones Hattiesburg @ Petal Picayune @ Gulfport Tupelo @ Brandon Oak Grove @ Starkville Germantown @ Northwest Rankin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel vs West Jones is one I am interested in. Laurel had their worse season ever last season. Would a win over WJ make a statement?

Desoto County and Misshsaa has cracked down on out of state transfers coming in since those days. Also 4 different public schools’ zones cross over Olive Branch city limits. (OB, Center Hill, Lewisburg, or Desoto Central) That’s not counting Collierville, TN who has 4 starters who played at Olive Branch or Center Hill and transferred recently.

They should probably butt up next to the original city limits at some point in time. Anexing county property probably changed things.
