The Mississippi high school season kicks off on February 26, the first day for regular season games. Most teams will begin practicing on January 29, getting their rosters set and finalizing their lineups.

Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we will be rolling out team previews of high school teams all across the state and across all classifications, eventually launching our Preseason Power 25.

We have been sending out our annual Preseason Questionnaire to coaches all across the state and as the responses flood in we will bring you a snapshot of what to expect along with top players and keys to success for that particular team. If you don’t see your team’s season preview make sure your head coach fills out his Preseason Questionnaire.

Outlook

  Coach Tip Nutt has moderate expectations for this group after a 9-13 finish in 2018. Returning three starters and five pitchers the Cheifs will require strong defensive play to have success this season. Anchoring the way will be seniors OF Chandler Rust and SS Zach Taylor. Underclassmen C Bryce Jones and INF/RHP Trey Atwood will also have a big impact on this year’s lineup.
