As the 2025 high school football season in Mississippi comes to its completion, it is time to take a look at the final high school football state rankings.

The number one team in last week's rankings, West Point, was defeated by Brookhaven, 31-19 which paved the way for the winner of Gulfport versus Tupelo to finish number one in the final top 25 rankings.

The Class 7A state championship did not disappoint as the ending of the game might go down as the best ending in the entire country this season. Down 20-14, Gulfport had one shot to at least tie the game with a Hail Mary attempt, and to the delight of the Admiral faithful, Mylan Stubbs pulled in the pass with a diving catch which tied the game. Gulfport subsequently made the extra point with no time remaining to capture the 7A state championship game.

Columbia defeated Kosciusko 6-0 in the 4A state championship game, and the Wildcats finished the season as they only unbeaten team in the state.

Meanwhile, Raleigh finds their final resting place for the 2025 season ranked 7 after their 12-6 win over Noxubee County in the 3A state championship game.

Lastly, East Webster jumped all the way up to 11 from unranked after their surprising 28-16 win over Heidelberg.
