Miss Mississippi’s Teen 2025 is crowned in Vicksburg
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) – A new Miss Mississippi’s Teen was crowned Sunday in Vicksburg.
Avery McNair, a senior who is graduating from Simpson Academy next week, says she is thrilled to begin the journey of representing this state at Miss America’s Teen.
This is the 20th year for Miss Mississippi’s Teen program.
Twenty-one delegates competed for the title in Vicksburg on Sunday.
After the Top 11 candidates were announced, each of them competed in Fitness, Evening Wear, On Stage question and Talent. A
very McNair, Miss Madison County, played piano.
McNair said, “You never think its gonna be you, and then I finally got my opportunity and I wanted to embrace every single thing and I’m just so blessed to be here.”
McNair was fourth alternate to Brooke Bumgarner, who placed second in Miss America’s Teen and was the first Miss Mississippi’s Teen to win an evening wear preliminary in the national competition.
Bumgarner said, “I came home second alternate for Miss America’s Teen but I came home to the greatest state in the nation and that’s something I said in my first interview with you as Miss Mississippi’s Teen. Its something that I’ll believe for the rest of my life. That’s something that every Miss Mississippi’s Teen has to have a good understanding of – is that she is representing such a great group of people and I wouldn’t want to represent any other state and I hope she knows that, that she knows the value of serving Mississippi.”
The New Miss Mississippi’s Teen is now preparing to represent this state on the national stage.
McNair said, “I’m already in game mode, so I say just keep working hard and keep working harder every single day and I’m so excited to go represent Mississippi.”
McNair, who also wins a 10-thousand dollar scholarship, will be making public appearances throughout the state. She wants to share her Service Initiative, Let’s All Be Prepared: Emergency Preparedness for Kids.
“I partnered with the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency my last two years of competing. My first house was hit by an EF-2 tornado and then we were hit again five years later and that destroyed that same house and so I learned from those experiences that I not only want to change lives, but save them,” said McNair.
This year’s fourth alternate was Miss Metro Jackson Chloe Braxton, 3rd Runner Up Anna Holly, Miss Queen City.
Second Alternate, Madalyn Sullivan, Miss Lafayette County and first runner up for the second year in a row, Miss Capital City Blake Hart.
McNair says she will attend Mississippi State University in the fall.

There is a nickname associated with the storied Texas Longhorns baseball program, on signage around UFCU Disch-Falk, seemingly at every corner, that reads, “The University of Texas at Omaha.”
It’s the truth, the Longhorns have appeared in the most College World Series in college baseball history. But it’s a daunting expectation that comes with living up to the mantra of ending the season as one of the final eight teams in Omaha.
For the past two conference series between Vanderbilt and in its current matchup with No. 10 Mississippi State, the Longhorns’ bats haven’t exhibited the same fury as they did earlier in conference play.
The Longhorns have only scored 11 runs in their past 36 innings at the plate.
This Mississippi State Series is Texas’ Final Test
Around this time last season, the wheels were falling off the wagon for the Longhorns, getting swept by Arkansas and losing its final home series to Florida before the SEC Tournament and ultimately losing in the Austin Regional to UTSA.
While last season’s woes were a combination of starting pitching struggles due to Jared Spencer being knocked down with a season-ending arm injury and the bats struggling to produce, the latter is starting to peek its ugly head into this May.
Saturday’s game against the Bulldogs at the plate was reminiscent of last season. The Longhorns’ situational hitting was struggling mightily, and the top producers, like Carson Tinney or Anthony Pack Jr., never got the right pitch to dive in crucial runs.
By the end of the afternoon, Texas batters left a combined 17 runners on base, with four loaded bases situations in the final four innings, allowing Mississippi State to force a rubber match on Sunday.
Despite losing with that many runners left on base, head coach Jim Schlossnagle wasn’t too worried about heading into Sunday’s game.
“I think they’re in a good spot,” Schlossnagle said. “The results can cover up some really good things.”
The Bulldogs are an Omaha quality team under Brian O’Connor, and Schlossnagle remarked on that fact pre-series media availability on Thursday and it will be the last true test on the schedule before Hoover and the Regional.
Granted, the Longhorns will face one more quality team in UTSA for their final midweek game in three days, but in a regional atmosphere, playing games for an entire weekend, the Bulldogs are it.
Texas closes out the season with an up-and-down Tennessee team and the worst squad in the conference, Missouri, providing opportunities for the Longhorns to tune up before postseason play commences.
Although there is not much worry inside the Texas locker room for the rubber match against Mississippi State, as the Longhorns have yet to drop just one Sunday game this season.
“We’re pretty confident,” Temo Beccera said after the Saturday loss. “This is the SEC, every series will be interesting and fun to play in, so we’ll get back at it tomorrow.”
