Continue ReadingIt’s hard to believe we are over two weeks in to the 2021 high school season. Another week of non-division actions is slated which should be a blast to keep track of. Without further ado, let’s look at the state-wide power rankings for this week.
1. Oak Grove (1-0)
The Warriors finally took to the field last week and whipped Seminary 43-7 showing why they were the preseason top ranked team in the state. This week poses a rivalry matchup with a Hattiesburg team that has struggled out of the gate, but as they say “anything can happen in a rivalry game”.
This week: @ Hattiesburg
2. Oxford (2-0)
Last week’s anticipated matchup with South Panola was canceled due to Covid-19 and deprived us from a sure-fire slugfest in Northwest Mississippi. The Chargers head out of town this week to face Ruston, LA in Shreveport. The Chargers will have to be careful not to look too far ahead to their always anticipated matchup with Lafayette County next week.
This week: vs. Ruston (LA) – Shreveport, LA
3. West Point (0-2)
The record shows 0-2 and that is only due to the Covid struggles that have plagued the Green Wave early on. West Point finally takes the field this week in a Golden Triangle area classic against Noxubee County. All eyes will be on Cameron Young Cameron Young 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB West Point | 2022 State MS as the chase for their 12th state title begins.
This week: @ Noxubee County
4. Madison Central (2-0)
The Jags have as impressive of a resume as anyone in the state early on. Vic Sutton Vic Sutton 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Madison Central | 2023 State MS and Blake Gunter Blake Gunter 6'4" | 230 lbs | TE Madison Central | 2022 State MS have been terrific on the offensive end thru the air and Robert Dumas Jr has been solid in the ground game.
This week: @ Northwest Rankin
5. Ocean Springs (2-0)
Bray Hubbard Bray Hubbard 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Ocean Springs | 2023 State MS has skyrocketed to the top of the Class of 2023 recruiting boards with a 68% completion percentage and 6 TD’s thru 2 games. The Greyhounds look to be for real.
This week: @ George County
6. Greenville Christian (3-1)
Greenville Christian went on the road and gave one of the best teams in Georgia all they could handle last week. The Saints have quickly become “must see” in the state of Mississippi.

7. South Panola (0-1)
The Tigers still haven’t made it on the field due to Covid-19 but should finally get that opportunity this week.
This week: @ Cordova (TN)
