Quitman in MHSAA brackets Feb. 20 vs Magee; Our Lady Academy listed

Quitman-area postseason listings show conflicting dates and opponents as the state brackets reach the first round. The Clarion Ledger’s Class 3A first-round block lists “Quitman at Magee, 6 p.m.” under Monday, Feb. 16, while SI’s schedules and MaxPreps records place games involving Magee and Quitman-area teams across Feb. 16–20.

Clarion Ledger’s Class 3A first-round page groups a slate of matchups under Monday, Feb. 16 that explicitly includes “Quitman at Magee, 6 p.m.” The same Clarion Ledger fragments also list a Tuesday, Feb. 17 first-round set that contains “Seminary at Quitman, 6 p.m.,” showing Quitman tied to two different midweek entries in the paper’s published blocks.

SI’s compiled listings echo the midweek clustering: SI shows “Seminary at Quitman - Tuesday, February 17, 6:00 PM CST” and separately lists “Southeast Lauderdale at Magee - Tuesday, February 17, 6:00 PM CST,” along with many other Class 2A and Class 7A bracket entries on Feb. 17 and Feb. 21. SI’s schedule fragments place multiple Quitman-area pairings in the Feb. 16–17 window rather than exclusively on Feb. 20.

MaxPreps presents a separate line that ties a 6:00 p.m. Feb. 20 slot to Our Lady Academy: the MaxPreps schedule/preview row shows “2/20 | vs Our Lady Academy | 6:00pm | Buy Tickets | Preview Game |” as a discrete UI row. MaxPreps also carries earlier-season box-score entries for Our Lady Academy, including 12/9 @Heidelberg L 52-42, 12/19 @Noxubee County W 59-13, and 1/6 @Union W 68-8, and a Southeast Lauderdale result that shows “2/16 | @ M Magee | W 64-25” in its game-results block. Those MaxPreps results indicate games at Magee on Feb. 16 for at least one Quitman-area opponent, but the 2/20 preview row does not, in the supplied fragment, show which team’s full schedule page the row belongs to.

The record supplied to this report preserves an overarching statement: “What the record shows: The official MHSAA brackets and supplementary high-school sports pages list Quitman-area matchups on the postseason calendar in late February 2026, including bracket entries that place Quitman in scheduled play tied to Feb. 20 bracket dates.” That line suggests an official bracket tie to Feb. 20, even as Clarion Ledger and SI place Quitman in Class 3A first-round listings on Feb. 16–17.

There is also a class discrepancy across sources. Clarion Ledger places Quitman in Class 3A first-round listings, while the extracted key facts include an explicit claim that “Quitman is scheduled for a Feb. 20 bracket date in Class 2A state basketball postseason play.” The supplied listings do not reconcile which class or which exact opponent and date are final for Quitman’s postseason game.

To resolve the conflicting entries, the official MHSAA bracket for the 2026 postseason and confirmation from local athletic offices are the next steps: verify Quitman’s class assignment, the official first-round opponent and time, and whether the MaxPreps 2/20 vs Our Lady Academy row corresponds to Quitman’s schedule. Local points of contact for confirmation include Quitman High School and Magee High School athletic directors and the MHSAA bracket pages that the original report references.
