As Classes 1-4A begin their playoffs this week, and Classes 5-7A conclude their regular season, it is time to take a look at the Mississippi high school football top 25 state rankings.

Teams ranked 1-7 remain the same from the previous poll, but there is some movement at the #8 spot. Gulfport enters this week ranked eighth as they are on a six-game winning streak which includes wins over Ocean Springs and D'Iberville.

Meanwhile, Kosciusko climbs from the #17 spot all the way up to #11 as they continue to play as well as anyone in the state.

Warren Central and Hattiesburg also find themselves inside the top 15 after two dominating wins last week.

Lastly, as we look at the teams towards the bottom of the rankings, Oak Grove, Heidelberg and DeSoto Central reenter the top 25 rankings along with Lake Cormorant who are making their first appearance inside the top 25 this season.
