Last 5 Winners: 2021 - LSU-Eunice (National Champs), 2020 - Covid, 2019 - Pearl River, 2018 - LSU-Eunice (National Champs), 2017 - Hinds, 2016 - Jones (National Champs), 2015 - LSU-Enice (National Champs), 2014 - Hinds (National Runner Up), 2013 - LSU-Eunice (National Runner Up), 2012 - LSU-Eunice (National Champs), 2011 - Jones (National Runner Up), 2010 - LSU-Eunice (National Champs)
So is there more than just the last 5 winners above? Yes. that is there to show how dominant region 23 has been over the last decade-plus. From 2010 to 2021 they had 9 teams play in National Title games with 6 National Championships. In that span of only 2 years was there not a team from this region playing for a National Title with the 2019 Pearl River team being the #1 seed going into the tournament and the 2017 Hinds team came in as the 6 seed and lost to the eventual national champs Kankakee.
This year's group of teams is as talented as ever. LSU-Eunice is going to be dominant. And for the first time since 2020 Mississippi is allowed to play schools that are outside their state during the regular season which is going to make them even more battle-tested than they already were going to be.
