West Point High School Football Team wins 13th MHSAA Class 5A State Championship

The Mississippi State Legislature passed House Resolution 50 on March 3, 2025, commending the West Point High School Green Wave football team for their remarkable achievement in winning the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 5A State Championship. This victory, secured with a close 28-21 win over Gautier High School on December 6, 2024, marks the team's 13th state title, setting a new record for the most championships in Mississippi high school football history.

The resolution, introduced by Representative Gibbs, highlights the team's legacy and dominance in the sport, surpassing the previous record held by Louisville High School. The commendation also recognizes the leadership of first-year Head Coach Brett Morgan, who has been pivotal in guiding the team to this historic win.

While House Resolution 50 is largely ceremonial, it underscores the significance of high school sports in Mississippi and the community pride associated with such achievements. The passage of this resolution reflects a bipartisan appreciation for local sports and the positive impact they have on youth and community engagement.

As the Green Wave continues to build on its legacy, the resolution serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting high school athletics, which foster teamwork, discipline, and school spirit among students. The recognition may also inspire future generations of athletes in Mississippi, encouraging them to strive for excellence both on and off the field.
