Pigskin Playoff Fever ’26
Unfortunately, the first weekend of high school football playoff action was very similar to the results of the last few years with a new expanded playoff format…with TONS of blowouts!
The decision a few years ago to expand the playoff format wasn’t exactly warmly greeted when it was first introduced, and it rarely makes for competitive games.
Fortunately, the real only exception among teams in our coverage area last weekend was the game you saw live on Astound TV on Friday night, with Freedom edging Easton 19 – 17, in a game that was only decided on the final play of the contest.
Things figure to heat up significantly this weekend, especially with contested semi-final matchups in both the 4A and 6A classifications.
Be sure to check back to our website later in the week to see which of these big showdown matchups will be featured on ATVN this weekend!
