Playoffs 1923-1929


    The State High School Athletic Association set up a playoff system starting in 1923 which would be in place through the 1930 football season before being discontinued.

    In 1926 Biloxi and Sunflower AHS played to a 7-7 tie and thus became co-champions for that season. In 1927 Philadelphia defeated Biloxi 19-0 on the field but later vacated the victory so there was actually no champion in 1927.

    We have found most of the game scores for the playoffs and the teams that reached the championship game.

    Below are the playoff games for the 1923-1929 seasons. I added links to view the season for the finalists.


       A special thanks to John Watson for his assistance with this project in tracking down many of the scores and team records.
