West Virginia High School Football Playoffs Begin

The Minnesota high school football Prep Bowl returns this weekend with 14 teams vying for state championships across seven classes, highlighted by the Class 1A matchup between the undefeated Minneota Vikings and Springfield Tigers. Minneota running back Ryan Meagher, who has excelled with over 1,600 rushing yards and 34 touchdowns this season, is a key player to watch. Springfield's quarterback Parker Kuehn has also shown promise, leading his team to a comeback victory in the semifinals. Meanwhile, in California's North Coast Section playoffs, the Arcata Tigers, with a record of 10-1, will host Petaluma in a semi-final game, emphasizing their strong offensive capabilities. Petaluma's running attack has been potent, but they face a challenging matchup against Arcata's top defense. In West Virginia, the state Supreme Court ruling has cleared the way for high school football playoffs to proceed this weekend, reinstating the playoff format based on the regular season point system.
