Mississippi High School Activities Association The place for high school sports in Mississippi 
Clinton, Miss. – The Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) and Wanamaker Corporation, creator of the Mississippi Golf app and iWanamaker golf event management software, have entered a multi-year partnership that will elevate the state’s high school golf presence.
The Mississippi Golf app powered by iWanamaker is a robust and scalable golf event management platform designed specifically for high school golf. The partnership makes iWanamaker and the Mississippi Golf app the official online event management, player rosters, live scoring, and rankings hub for MHSAA Golf. The iWanamaker platform will be the official event management software for all MHSAA regular and postseason tournaments, advancements and state-tournament qualifying. The agreement begins with the upcoming 2023 season.
Through its proven Golf Tournament Management Platform (iWanamaker and associated native apps), the platform will also provide athletic directors, coaches and student-athletes free access to schedules, live leaderboards, player scorecards, rankings and more. Spectators must purchase a ticket to access content and a portion of the ticket revenue is shared with the MHSAA and its member schools.
“We are excited to be in a partnership with Wanamaker Corporation,” MHSAA Executive Director Rickey Neaves said. “This will ensure fans, parents, student-athletes and school officials receive real-time results as they support the best high school student-athletes in America during regular and postseason events.”
Wanamaker Corporation, the pioneer of online secure scoring for high school golf, has long served multiple high school state associations. The MHSAA joins 16 states, thousands of schools, and governing bodies already using Wanamaker Corp technologies to streamline golf tournament setup, player registration, secure scoring, rankings, and data management.
“We are excited to partner with the MHSAA to bring online secure scoring, accurate golfer rankings and increased scoring integrity to all members of the Mississippi high school golf community,” Wanamaker Corporation CEO Doyle Heisler said. “Mississippi has a long history of producing many prominent golfers, and together with the MHSAA, we are excited to help increase awareness and grow the sport across the state.
