High school football teams are putting in work to prepare for the playoffs that begin this weekend across the state. For the talented seniors, this will be their last shot at championship glory.

There will be a lucky group of seniors that make it to State Championship Saturday on Nov. 12 at Rutland High School.

For some of those standouts, they’ll get another chance to put on the pads one more time after that this fall as the 2022 North-South All Star Football Classic is set for Sunday, Nov. 20 with a 1 p.m. kickoff at Norwich University.

The game had been hosted at Castleton University since 2016 before this year’s change. Organizers have said that the vision was always to alternate the game between the state’s three college football facilities, Castleton, Norwich and Middlebury.

The rosters for the game that features the top high school senior football players from northern and southern Vermont were recently announced.

The South team will be coached by Mount Anthony’s Chad Gordon, who led his Patriots to a 6-2 regular season mark a season after leading them to the Division II state championship game.
