We are back with another set of top 25 rankings for Mississippi high school football.

Last week produced some exciting results and thrilling upsets, opening the door for three new teams to enter the latest edition of the Mississippi high school football top 25 rankings.

Oak Grove checks in at No. 20 on the heels of a four-game winning streak. Their latest victory was a 28-25 win over Houston. Kellen Hall has also been playing lights out from the quarterback position, having now passed for over 1,300 yards and 18 touchdowns.

McComb is currently playing like one of the top teams in the state, as they are 6-0 at the halfway point this season. Their high-flying offense has them looking to make a run at the state championship, with the Tigers currently averaging 39 points per game.

Meanwhile, St. Martin comes in ranked No. 22 after a stellar 5-1 start, with their latest win coming over Biloxi. Three of their final four games of the season will be the ultimate test as the Yellowjackets have Gulfport, D'Iberville and Ocean Springs looming on their schedule.

Lastly, No.1 West Point has a stranglehold on the top spot as they appear to be far and away the best team in the state this season.
