2022 MHSAA Final Four and Championship Projections (GIRLS)
-1A FINAL FOUR-
Ingomar vs. Bay Springs
Blue Mountain vs. McEvans
Champion: Ingomar
Comment: Ingomar has championship experience from last season and the best player in 1A (Macie Phifer). Coach Trent Adair is looking for his 5th state title as a Head Coach.
-2A FINAL FOUR-
Belmont vs. West Lincoln
New Site vs. Puckett
Champion: Belmont
Comment: Coach Chris Higginbottom and the Lady Cardinals are trying to go back-to-back. They have all the pieces to win it again this year, led by the best player in 2A, Carlie Brock.
-3A FINAL FOUR-
Booneville vs. Franklin County
Kossuth vs. Union
Champion: Booneville
Comment: Booneville is well coached by Michael Smith. They compete hard, play together, and can shoot the 3 ball.
-4A FINAL FOUR-
Pontotoc vs. Pass Christian
Choctaw Central vs. Raymond
Champion: Pontotoc
Comment: I’m predicting a rematch of last year’s championship game with the same outcome. Coach Kyle Heard and the Lady Warriors might be the hottest team in the state with 22 wins in a row.
-5A FINAL FOUR-
Columbus vs. Brookhaven
Neshoba Central vs. West Jones
Champion: Neshoba Central
Comment: Coach Jason Broom and the Lady Rockets are 29-0. I expect them to finish 33-0 and with a gold ball. If you get a chance, watch them play.
-6A FINAL FOUR-
Tupelo vs. Harrison Central
Clinton vs. Meridian
Champion: Harrison Central
Comment: 6A is a loaded classification. Other teams like Germantown or Olive Branch could easily prove me wrong and be in the Final Four. I will take Harrison Central to run the playoff gamut.
