Why this one matters

This will be an in-state showdown in Laurel as Forest Hill visits West Jones. The two teams last met Jan. 28, 2025, when West Jones took a 53-42 decision — a rematch both sides will want to approach differently. Fans looking for continuity or a bounce-back performance should mark their calendars: West Jones returns to the court again Friday, Jan. 16 at Jim Hill, while Forest Hill hosts Hattiesburg that same day.
