Week 11 – Regular Season Comes To An End
In this article:
We had waited months for the 2025 high school football season to unfold, and after Saturday, the curtain will close.
As many teams prepare for the “second season” – the state playoffs, this week will bring to an end the careers of many student/athletes who had poured their heart and soul into this amazing sport.
The hours of running and practicing and attending camps and combines all in the name of getting better and becoming the best football player they could be.
While thousands will play for the final time at the high school level, others will embrace the state playoffs which could extend the season up to five weeks – if they are lucky enough to play for a state title.
