Ripley to host unbeaten East Webster as Tippah teams look ahead

Ripley gets its next chance to return to .500 against an unbeaten visitor Friday, when East Webster brings a 3–0 football record to the Tigers’ home field for a 7 p.m. kickoff. The 1–2 Tigers begin a three-game home stretch as Tippah County teams prepare for volleyball, golf and cross-country contests.

No completed varsity result from Wednesday, Sept. 16, was verified for Tippah County’s five high schools. This roundup therefore looks ahead to each program’s next posted event. All times are Central; dates are in 2026 unless noted.
