With the first round of the Class 1-4A playoffs completed, and the Class 5-7A concluding its regular season, it is time to take a look at the latest edition of the Mississippi high school football top 25 rankings.

Inside the top 10, Picayune drops from the four spot down the number 13 after they were defeated by Pearl River Central 28-21. Meanwhile, Kosciusko enters the top 10 for the first time after they defeated Rosa Fort 58-10.

In the 10-25 range, Oak Grove had the highest jump after their 28-7 win over Pearl. With that win which extends their winning streak to four games, the Warriors are backing up their preseason hype, and they are legitimate contenders to Tupelo to win 7A.

Lastly, in the 20-25 range, South Panola and Northwest Rankin slide into the top 25 as Starkville and DeSoto Central dropped out of the rankings. South Panola had a dominant win as they defeated Center Hill 31-7, and Northwest Rankin might have had the most impressive win of the week by defeating Petal on the road.
