No Sunday, October 25, varsity final was verified by press time. The next posted competitions for the county’s known teams follow, including winter and spring schedules. Times are Mississippi local time unless expressly unconfirmed; February through April dates are in 2027.

Soccer: two doubleheaders Monday

The next matches for Hernando and Lake Cormorant are tonight at Hernando: girls at 5 p.m. and boys at 7 p.m.. DeSoto Central’s next fixtures are home against Oxford tonight, girls at 5:30 p.m. and boys at 7 p.m..

Northpoint girls — no next event posted. The last verified Northpoint boys school calendar lists a February 23, 2027, preseason event at 5 p.m., opponent and venue undetermined. That calendar could not be refreshed, so the listing remains provisional.

Late soccer results: Saturday, October 24

Southaven boys defeated Cleveland Central and Byhalia by identical 2–1 scores at home. Southaven girls beat Cleveland Central 3–1 and Byhalia 4–0. These are October 24 results, newly verified for this edition; no game-specific player statistics were available.

Cross-country: state entries take shape

Center Hill, DeSoto Central, Hernando and Olive Branch have boys and girls 5K entries for October 31 at Mississippi College’s Choctaw Trails/Watson course in Clinton.

Lewisburg boys and girls, Southaven boys and girls, Horn Lake boys and Northpoint boys and girls cross-country — no next event posted with verified team entries. A championship on the association calendar alone does not confirm a school’s participation.

Basketball: October 31 sites remain unsettled

Center Hill boys and Hernando boys each list North Panola at home October 31, start times to be announced. North Panola’s current schedule marks the Center Hill game neutral and lists both opponents without a confirmed venue. The sites remain unconfirmed.

Horn Lake hosts Center Hill November 3, girls at 6 p.m. and boys at 7:30 p.m.; these are the next games for both girls teams and Horn Lake boys. Lewisburg’s next games are home against South Panola November 3, girls at 6 p.m. and boys at 7:30 p.m..

Also November 3, Hernando girls host Clarksdale and Southaven girls visit Oxford at 6 p.m. Lake Cormorant now lists both teams home against Holly Springs that day, girls at 6 p.m. and boys at 7:30 p.m..

Horn Lake visits Strayhorn February 11 at 5 p.m. Olive Branch visits Independence February 16 at 6:30 p.m. Northpoint and DeSoto Christian softball — no next event posted with verified varsity details.

Bowling: Lewisburg posts county opponents

Lewisburg boys and girls next list Center Hill November 6 at Strike Zone, a neutral-site match. Both pages display 4:15 p.m.; their timestamp metadata conflicts with that display, so the Mississippi start time needs confirmation. These are also the next verified listings found for Center Hill’s boys and girls.

The same boys and girls schedules provide the first verified upcoming listings found for Southaven against Lewisburg November 10, labeled a Strike Zone call-in match; Horn Lake against Lewisburg November 13 at Strike Zone; Lake Cormorant and Olive Branch against Lewisburg December 9 at Strike Zone; Hernando against Lewisburg January 8, 2027, there; and DeSoto Central against Lewisburg January 15. All display 4:15 p.m. with the same unresolved time-zone issue. Those opponents’ complete schedules could not be verified, so earlier fixtures remain possible.

Volleyball and other programs

Girls volleyball at Center Hill, DeSoto Central, Hernando, Horn Lake, Lake Cormorant, Lewisburg, Olive Branch, Southaven, Northpoint Christian and DeSoto Christian Academy — no next event posted.

The following known teams and school-listed programs have no next event posted with verified varsity competition details. Where a school lists a program without gender or level, those classifications remain unresolved.

Center Hill: boys and girls golf, swimming, tennis and track and field; boys wrestling; archery, cheer, dance and boys and girls powerlifting — no next event posted.

DeSoto Central: boys and girls golf, swimming, tennis and track and field; boys wrestling; archery, cheer, dance and powerlifting, including girls powerlifting — no next event posted.

Oxford’s official high-school wrestling calendar additionally lists Center Hill at Oxford December 1, boys and girls, but does not explicitly identify varsity level or a start time. That remains a provisional competition listing rather than a confirmed varsity fixture.

Results still awaited

Olive Branch varsity cheer is listed in the Mid-South Regional’s Small Varsity Non Tumbling division for the October 25 competition in Memphis. Its result is not yet reported in the accessible school-division results. Other county cheer and dance entries and placements could not be fully verified.
