Top 25 Mississippi high school baseball rankings (3/25/2025)
As another week of the high school baseball season in Mississippi is completed, it is time see where the teams are ranked in the High School on SI Mississippi top 25. Baseball powerhouse, Magnolia Heights, comes in at number one after another stellar week on the diamond.
The second half of the season looks to be as exciting as the first half which was full of exciting games and thrilling upsets. With that being said, here is the top 25 Mississippi high school baseball rankings.
The Chiefs have been a dominant force in Mississippi for years, and this season is no different. They suffered close losses to powerhouse programs Mater Dei and IMG Academy, but responded after those defeats with dominant wins. Their most recent win came over IMG Academy Black where they defeated the Ascenders 10-5.
After falling to Winter Park (FL) 6-5 two weeks ago, the Patriots responded winning their next two games versus Southaven. They outscored them 25-1 over the two-game stretch.
The Hawks have won four straight games including a win over Briarcrest Christian (TN) and Jackson Prep. In these two games, they outscored Briarcrest and JP 21-2.
After a solid start to the season, the Jaguars will look to keep their winning ways going when they take on Tupelo in a two-game set this week.
The Tigers have gotten off to a roaring start this season only losing once to Newton County on February 25. In their three previous games versus Northeast Lauderdale and McLaurin, they outscored the competition 44-2.
The Greyhounds completed a three-game sweep of Biloxi last week, and they will look to keep that momentum going this week versus St. Martin.
After defeating Copiah Academy and Manchester Academy last week, the Raiders will take on Presbyterian Christian in a three-game series this week.
After losing two straight to Madison-Ridgeland Academy and Houston Christian (TX) two weeks ago, the Urchins responded by defeating Germantown, New Site and Pine Grove last week.
The Maroon Tide had a successful week when they took two-out-of-three from Pascagoula. They will look to build upon that when they take on West Harrison in a three-game series this week.
The Knights won two convincing games versus Choctaw Central last week where they outscored them 16-2. They will take on Northeast Lauderdale in a two-game set this week.
The Panthers face Brandon this week after they defeated Northwest Rankin twice and St. Stanislaus once last week.
The Warriors have a potent lineup which has been demonstrated in their four-game winning streak. They scored 37 runs while allowing just eight runs.
The Eagles swept Brookhaven in three games last week outscoring them 25-2. They will take on South Jones twice and Clinton once this week.
The Rebels are in a midst of a 12-game winning streak where they have scored less than five runs only once. They will play Central Hinds Academy in a three-game series starting next week.
The Bulldogs have won six straight games against good competition since they last lost to Purvis on March 7.
The Raiders lost to Oak Grove 9-4 on March 14, but they responded with a 12-11 win over East Rankin Academy.
The Whippets have won three games in a row including an 8-7 victory over Jackson Prep. They will look to keep their streak intact when they take on Louisville and Grenada this week.
Since their loss to Northwest Rankin on March 11, the Bulldogs have won four straight including a sweep of East Central.
The Admirals have won seven straight games which includes a three-game sweep of D’Iberville last week. They will take on Biloxi in a three-game series which starts tonight.
The Tornadoes have lost three out of their last four, but they have shown the ability to score in bunches. They will look to get back on track this week when they take on Forrest County Agricultural.
The Tigers started off 1-4, but since then they have found their footing. They have three pivotal games this week with two versus Olive Branch, and the lone game versus Mooreville.
The Warriors dropped two one-run games versus New Hope, but they rebounded by defeating South Pontotoc 5-2.
Life after Konnor Griffin has produced its ups-and-downs this year for the Patriots, but they are still talented and extremely well-coached. They have a series versus MRA this week which could have a lasting impact on their season.
The Indians have lost two straight versus New Albany and Saltillo, but each game was close as they lost by only two runs and one run. They will look to get back on track this week when they take on Ripley and Caledonia.
After dropping their first game to Germantown 5-4 last week, the Arrows bounced back by defeating Germantown in game two of the series 8-5. They also defeated Cleveland Central 19-3 and Houston 5-4. They take on Vicksburg and Florence this week.

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Removing the red tape and raising the funding cap for hospitals is a priority for some Mississippi lawmakers. They’re trying to make it easier to access more funding for facility improvements or equipment upgrades without needing approval from the State Board of Health.
A bill to lift spending restrictions for hospitals passed in the House and Senate during the 2025 Legislative Session, but Gov. Tate Reeves (R-Miss.) vetoed it. Lawmakers said the part Reeves didn’t like was removed.
“The whole intent is to be able to make healthcare more widely available, more cost effective and more efficient for providers and for our citizens in Mississippi,” said State Rep. Sam Creekmore IV (R-District 14).
According to Creekmore, the new bill doubles the capital investments that hospitals can make without applying for a certificate of need. Currently, hospitals and medical facilities can only spend so much money on facility or equipment investments.
If they want to spend more than the cap allows, they could apply for new equipment. It would require approval from the State Board of Health.
Creekmore said applying for a certificate of need to spend money can be timely, but there’s a chance the request could be denied. He said Reeves vetoed the initial bill because lawmakers approved a certificate of need for St. Dominic to allow psychiatric care after St. Dominic closed the unit in the past.
GLENDALE, Ariz.— Carson Beck scrambled for a 3-yard touchdown with 18 seconds left, and Miami will head back home for a shot at its first national championship since 2001 after beating Mississippi 31-27 in an exhilarating College Football Playoff semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday night.
The 10th-ranked Hurricanes (13-2) had their vaunted defense picked apart by the sixth-ranked Rebels (13-2) in a wild fourth quarter, falling into a 27-24 hole after Trinidad Chambliss threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Dae’Quan Wright with 3:13 left.
Beck, who won a national title as a backup at Georgia, kept the Hurricanes calm amid the storm, leading them down the field for the winning score — and a shot at a national title on their home field at Hard Rock Stadium on Jan. 19. Beck is 37-5 as a starter, including two seasons at Georgia.
The sixth-seeded Rebels lost their coach before the playoff, but not their cool.
If anything, Lane Kiffin’s decision to bolt for LSU seemed to harden Ole Miss’ resolve, pushing the Rebels to the best season in school history — and within a game of their first national championship game.
Ole Miss kept Miami within reach when its offense labored and took a 19-17 lead on Lucas Carneiro’s fourth field goal, from 21 yards.
Malachi Toney, the hero of Miami’s opening CFP win over Texas A&M, turned a screen pass into a 36-yard touchdown that put Miami up 24-19.
Chambliss’ TD pass to Wright put the Rebels back on top, but improbable run came to an end when the defense couldn’t hold the Hurricanes.
But what a run it was.
With Pete Golding calling the shots after being promoted from defensive coordinator to head coach, and most of the assistants sticking around, the Rebels blew out Tulane to open the playoff and took down mighty Georgia in the CFP quarterfinals.
They faced a different kind of storm in the Hurricanes.
Miami has rekindled memories of its 2001 national championship team behind a defense that went from porous to nearly impenetrable in its first season under coordinator Corey Hetherman.
The Hurricanes walled up early in the Fiesta Bowl, holding Ole Miss to minus-1 yard.
One play revved up the Rebels and their rowdy fans.
Kewan Lacy, the nation’s third-leading rusher, burst through a hole up the middle for a 73-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter — the longest run allowed by Miami’s defense since 2018.
The Hurricanes seemed content to grind away at the Rebels in small chunks offensively, setting up CharMar Brown’s 4-yard touchdown run and a field goal.
Miami unlocked the deep game just before halftime, taking advantage of a busted coverage for a 52-yard touchdown pass from Beck to Keelan Marion.

Lady Vols basketball will play a second straight road game with a matchup against Mississippi State.
No. 22 Tennessee (10-3, 2-0 SEC) faces the Bulldogs (14-2, 1-1) at Humphrey Coliseum on Jan. 8 (7:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network+) in Starkville, Mississippi.
The Lady Vols started SEC play with wins over Florida and Auburn, and Mississippi State opened conference play with a win over Auburn before falling to Oklahoma on the road.
The matchup is the first of two with the Bulldogs this season with MSU being Tennessee’s lone home and home opponent in SEC play this season.
Both Mississippi State’s losses were on the road, the first at Texas Tech in November before it fell 95-47 to the Sooners on Jan. 4. Lady Vols coach Kim Caldwell called the Bulldogs an athletic team and pointed out they ranked in the top 10 nationally in rebounding. MSU averages 45.6 rebounds, which ranks No. 9 in the country.
“We have to go and play in a tough environment with a team that is undefeated at home, plays very well at home,” Caldwell said Jan. 7. “I think that they are a different team at home than they are on the road. So it’s tough to have to go to their place, but it’s tough to go anywhere. And so just got to make sure that we play our game and we box them out and we do what we need to do.”
