High school football playoffs begin across various US states

As the high school football regular season concludes, postseason schedules are beginning to roll out across the United States. Playoff start dates vary significantly by state, classification, and division.

In some regions, action has already commenced, such as in Alaska, which began its first round on October 9. Other states, including Alabama, California, and Georgia, are scheduled to start their playoffs in November. Some areas, such as Connecticut, will not begin postseason play until December.

In Alabama, the regular season concludes with high-stakes matchups, including a clash between undefeated top-ranked teams Westbrook Christian and Fyffe. Additionally, the state sees the final regular-season game for legendary coach Danny Horn, marking the end of a 38-year career.
