Varsity Voices 2026 MHSAA Football Season Preview (7A-1A Complete Breakdown)

[TheRadioGuy]

The guys at Varsity Voices (State Championships Radio Network) dropped their complete 2026 MHSAA football season preview across two episodes.
 

Part 1 (7A, 6A & 5A + All-State/Key Players List): They kick things off with the big schools, breaking down 73 teams across 12 regions. They also reveal their All-State player roster.
 

Part 2 (4A, 3A, 2A & 1A): The second episode wraps up the state covering all 154 small-school programs across 32 regions. Loads of parity here, with three of the four state title games in these classes decided by six points or less last year.
 

Good breakdown if you’re looking to get caught up on every classification before kickoff.

That was a fantastic broadcast for 7a-5a. I havent watched part 2 yet. But you can tell those guys really did some research.

Seemed to me they obviously knew more about north teams than the south.

Understandable. One of the guys on the podcast is the Warren Central radio announcer. And WC is in the North. 

[pancho]

none of those teams are actually in the north but that is just how it is

I've really enjoyed their podcast last year and so far this year. To me, I think they are pretty balanced in knowing all areas of the state. They also do a great job on the radio call every year for the championship games.

240 schools total counting 14 non football schools. It will drop to 237 in a few years when North Tippah and Leflore County complete their consolidation plans. The legislature wants to close 35 schools or district offices.
