I can't tell you the original eight, although I do know there was a coast representative.
Before all was said and done, the Big 8 was three divisions -- North, Central and South.
In the late 1960s-early 1970s, the make-up of the Big 8 included the following schools ... some are now renamed, some (Natchez, for example) no longer exist and some play as far down as Class 3A:
Biloxi
Brookhaven
Clarksdale
Cleveland
Columbia
Columbus
Corinth
Greenville
Greenwood
Gulfport
Hattiesburg
Jackson Callaway
Jackson Central
Jackson Murrah
Jackson Provine
Jackson Wingfield
Laurel
Meridian
McComb
Moss Point
Natchez
Pascagoula
Picayune
Tupelo
Vicksburg
Yazoo City
Cleveland was one of the last in and first out. Cleveland, Columbia and Yazoo City were among the first to drop down because they did not have the student body count to compete. Picayune was another to drop before Mississippi's high school conferences were disbanded.
I followed Big 8 football for years and there were some great coaches, players, teams and games.
cdGreenwood, Greenville, Clarksdale, Meridian, Vicksburg, Natchez, Jackson, Columbus... I have often wondered who they were. My guess would be these
The ones I recall from the mid 1950's are:
North Big 8: Jackson Central, Vicksburg, Meridian, Greenville, Columbus, Greenwood
South Big 8: Brookhaven, McComb, Natchez, Laurel, Hattiesburg, Gulfport, Biloxi, Pascagoula, Moss Point
Most, if not all, were charter members as best I recall. There were more than 8 teams obviously.
