JACKSON — The MHSAA's 2023-2024 athletic season is in the books, and it's time to recognize the athletic programs that excelled across the board in the past year with the Blue Cross & Blue Shield Mississippi All-Sports Award powered by the the MHSAA and SB Live. Today, we'll take a look at the best programs from Class 6A.

The awards are designed to identify the top schools in the state in overall athletic performance for the given school year.

The winners are decided by a points-based system in which schools are rewarded for both reaching the post-season and advancing once their teams get there.

State Championships are worth a total of 30 points, with the runners-up receiving 25 and the teams that reached the semifinal (or finished third) earning 20, and so on. Each team that reached the post-season in a team sport or finished in the top eight in a state meet earned some points.

This year, the MHSAA sponsored 22 different sports, including volleyball, girls and boys swimming, boys and girls cross country, football, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls bowling, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls powerlifting, boys and girls track, girls and boys golf, softball, baseball, tennis and archery.

Check out the honorees in the other classes by following the links below:

Without further ado, here's a look at the schools in the MHSAA’s Class 6A that excelled on the fields, courts and arenas across the Magnolia State. Congratulations to all our honorees.
