Mississippi Super 25 high school football rankings for Week 12: One newcomer joins
With a week of winners and losers in high school football comes a new Mississippi Super 25 ranking. Playoffs begin this week in MAIS and MHSAA's classes 1A-4A, while 5A-7A still has one regular-season game. In one of the top games last week, No. 9 Starkville routed No. 20 Madison Central, knocking it out of the Super 25 and making room for one new school to join the Super 25.
Four teams in the Super Top 25 face each other this week, highlighted by No. 8 Tupelo facing No. 9 Starkville and No. 13 South Panola at No. 20 Grenada.
