3-0 Is A Magical Start!

With the 3rd week of the 2022 high school football season in the books, we find a number of teams off to a perfect 3-0 start and for some, it’s something they have not experienced in quite a while.  Even more exciting, one team has never started a football season at 3-0 until this year!

It is finally here….that very special week that generally falls around the first few days of December….and considering what 2020 was like for high school football fans in WV, this very special week in 2021 has been a long time coming!

Last Week of the Regular Season and 51 Games!

Ten weeks down and just this one final week remains in the regular season of high school football in WV!  I can remember many times over the past several years when we reached the last week of the regular season, the number of games played on that final weekend would be far less than 51!
