IMG_8358by: Andy Villamarzo03/19/26Andy_Villamarzo

High school football schedules for the 2026 season are coming out one-by-one out of every state around the country and one that is a breeding ground for college prospects is Mississippi, with a number of squads finalizing their fall slates.

Coming out of the Magnolia State to release their upcoming fall high school football schedule are the West Point Green Wave (MS), which was among one of Mississippi’s top programs from the past several years. West Point will be in a bit of transition this off-season as they will be led by a new leader this fall campaign.

The Green Wave promoted longtime assistant Roger Burton to head coach last month, taking over for Brett Morgan, who left West Point to accept the same position at Starkville (MS). Morgan left behind a West Point program he has built up to being one of the best on an annual basis in the Magnolia State. In just two seasons as the lead man for the Green Wave, Morgan put together a 24-4 mark, making two trips to the state championship game and winning one of those appearances.

The full West Point 2026 football schedule can be seen below, with all official game times included.
