West Virginia High School Football State Championships and playoff history

(Redirected from West Virginia High School Football State Championships and Play-Off History)

The West Virginia High School Football State Championships have been held since the early 1900s. The West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) began its formal recognition of WV State Football Championships in 1937[1] with the state's sports writers' vote. The WVSSAC began a class system, dividing larger and smaller schools in 1947. WVSSAC official playoff games began in 1948. Prior to the WVSSAC's involvement in an official playoff, there were other systems in play. From 1916 to 1955 the WVSSAC was called the West Virginia Athletic Association.

History

edit

Getting started

edit

In the early 1900s, teams claimed state titles by virtue of their records against other WV schools. Some of the major newspapers would have input as well.[2] Often coaches would contact one another and arrange championship games themselves. This system may have been flawed, but it was what most WV schools used for at least 33 years.

Separate was not equal

edit

Before Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954, high school football was segregated just like the schools. About 45 colored schools existed in WV. More than 25 Black school football programs existed in West Virginia during segregation. In 1914, WV's Black leaders came together and formed what would become the West Virginia Athletic Union (WVAU), which would govern high school athletic championships in WV for African American students. The WVAU ceased to exist in 1956, as only two schools remained in the organization.

Private schools

edit

Prior to 1977 most private schools did not participate in the WVSSAC or its football playoff system. Nearly all the private schools that fielded football teams were Catholic, so the WVCHSAA was formed. In 1962 Catholic leadership began a championship game process for their schools. The West Virginia Catholic State Football Champion was crowned until the 1976 season. Wheeling Central Catholic joined the WVSSAC in 1970. By 1977 the WVCHSAA numbers were so low the organization was dissolved.

WVSSAC takes the reins

edit

Tie breakers

edit

Prior to 1965 season, games played against teams in a higher class were not considered in the point system if the smaller school lost. Before 1976, if two teams tied for the last playoff spot they were both removed from the playoff. This happened in 1963 when Charleston and Welch both tied for the #2 playoff position. #1 Buckhannon-Upshur was awarded the AAA title without a game. In 1975, in single A, both Meadow Bridge and Rivesville finished the regular season 10–0–0, but tied for the #4 playoff spot. They were both eliminated and #1 Wirt was given a bye. There is now a tie break system for teams whose playoff points average out the same.

Location

edit

Championship games were played in a variety of locations over the years, but that changed in 1979. From 1979 to 1993 the three WV Football Championship games were played at Laidley Field, now University of Charleston Stadium at Laidley Field in Charleston. The West Virginia State High School Football Championship games were played at Wheeling Island Stadium from 1994 to 2023. In 2024, the championship games returned to UC Stadium at Laidley Field.

Eras and classes

edit

The different eras of West Virginia State Football Championships are listed below: A small number of West Virginia high schools sponsored football teams prior to 1900, but the first known game played between two West Virginia schools occurred in 1901 when Huntington High met Charleston High.[2] The first claimed state title that has been discovered, so far, was Fairmont Senior in 1903.[3] It is not yet certain if state titles were claimed every season between 1903 and 1915.

  • 1903–1915: Prior to WVSSAC or formal sportswriters vote: Single-class system, games arranged by individual teams, 1903 & 1907 Fairmont Senior.[4][5][6]
  • 1916–1936: WV Athletic Association (known as the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission after 1955) formed to help regulate high school athletics in WV. State football champions were still selected by schools arranging games and sports writers' input.[7]
  • 1914–1956: Colored School State Champions. Before the historic Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling, in 1954, schools, and football games, were segregated. African Americans were forced to play in their own league. The West Virginia Athletic Union governed African American athletics during this time.
  • 1937–1946: Single-class system. Champion was named by the West Virginia Sportswriters Association.
  • 1947–1954: Two-class system. Schools were placed in Class A or B based on enrollment.
  • 1955–1957: Three-class system, with Class AA, Class A or B based on enrollment.
  • 1958–2023: Three-class system, based on enrollment, with Classes AAA, AA and A.[8]
  • 2024–present: Four-class system, based on enrollment, location and economics with Classes AAAA, AAA, AA and A.[9][10]

From 1947 to 1954, there were only two classes; Class A (big schools) and Class B (small schools). From 1955 to 1957, there were three classes; Class AA (big schools), Class A (medium-sized schools) and Class B (small schools). From 1958 to 2023 there have been three classes as well, however the names have been changed to: Class AAA (big schools), Class AA (medium-sized schools) and Class A (small schools). From 2024 to the present there have been four classes: Class AAAA (big schools), Class AAA (medium-big schools), Class AA (medium-small schools) and Class A (small schools).

During the 1926 season Williamson and Magnolia arranged a state title game. Williamson defeated Magnolia 14–13. However, after accusations on both sides of ineligible players the WVAA (now known as the WVSSAC) stepped in and forced both teams to forfeit all their games.[2] Doug Huff, one of WV's leading sports historians, left both schools in his book, History of Sports in West Virginia, so they are included on this list as well.

Colored State Football Champions

edit

African American students were barred from playing football with White Americans. This changed in 1954 with the Supreme Court decision Brown vs. Board of Education, which overturned school segregation. Black school athletics were governed by the WV Athletic Union but did not receive as consistent media attention as their white counterparts. This makes research difficult. Information on the Colored State Football Champions has been provided by Robert Bonner, WV high school football researcher. More will be entered as the information becomes available.

Two-class system (A, B) 1947–1954 / WVSSAC Ratings

edit

The WVSSAC (WVAA at the time) used a power rating system to choose the state champions in a two-class system in 1947. The WVSSAC started a playoff game system in 1948. From 1948 to 1971, only the top two teams in each class went to the playoff. In 1972 the playoff field was expanded to four teams. In 1978 the playoffs were expanded to eight teams per class. Finally, in 1991, the top 16 in each class were awarded a playoff spot.

With 14 seconds remaining in the Hurricane vs. South Charleston quarter-final game, an on-field fight occurred. This resulted in five South Charleston and four Hurricane players being ejected. Ejection from a game results in a WVSSAC mandatory suspension from the next contest. However, four of the South Charleston players' parents filed a lawsuit and a Kanawha County judge ruled the players could play in the semi-final game against Brooke. After losing 29–28 to South Charleston, Brooke parents filed their own lawsuit in Brooke County, stating that South Charleston had used the ejected players illegally. The AAA state title game was postponed one week while the case went to the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. The Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia ruled the Kanawha County judge had overstepped her bounds and that the WVSSAC had final say in the matter. South Charleston was forced to forfeit its game against Brooke. Brooke then advanced to the AAA title game against Martinsburg.[74]

Four-class system (AAAA, AAA, AA, A) 2024–present / WVSSAC Ratings

edit

The 2024 playoffs were delayed following multiple court actions. On December 20, 2023 - following the decision to expand to four classifications for football, cheer, volleyball, baseball, and softball, in addition to basketball - the WVSSAC released its classifications for the 2024–25 to 2027–28 academic years.[76] Following the release of the classifications, on August 12, 2024, the WVSSAC reclassified eleven schools, after they successfully appealed. John Marshall, Oak Hill, Preston, St. Albans, and Spring Valley were moved from AAAA to AAA; Frankfort, Sissonville, and Wayne were moved from AAA to AA; and Petersburg, St. Marys, and Tyler Consolidated were moved from AA to A.[77] Then on August 16, 2024, eleven more schools were reclassified. Buckhannon-Upshur, Capital, Riverside, and South Charleston were moved from AAAA to AAA; Chapmanville Regional, Independence, Lincoln, Nicholas County, and PikeView were moved from AAA to AA; Ritchie County and Summers County were moved from AA to A.[78]

This change meant that schools were now scheduled to play opponents who could be worth less points for playing than had originally been thought when those twenty-two schools were classified higher. Given this, on November 8, 2024, the Wood County Board of Education, joined by its three high schools - Parkersburg, Parkersburg South, and Williamstown - filed for an injunction asking that points be awarded based upon schools original classifications and not as the schools were currently classified. On November 9, 2024, a Wood County Circuit Judge entered an order granting the injunction and ordered the WVSSAC to calculate the ratings based upon the prior classifications.[79] Following this order, four schools that would have otherwise made the playoffs, were left out of the sixteen-team field: Hampshire and Point Pleasant were replaced by Capital and St. Albans in AAA, Westside was replaced by Lincoln in AA, and Tolsia was replaced by St. Marys in A. This led to Point Pleasant filing for an injunction in the Circuit Court of Mason County. There a circuit judge entered an order granting injunctive relief and ordering play-in games in AAA, pitting Point Pleasant against St. Albans and Hampshire against Capital. Westside also filed for injunctive relief in the Circuit Court of Wyoming County requesting that the WVSSAC return to the original rating plan.[80] The play-in games forced the WVSSAC to postpone the other playoff games by a week and those games were set for November 16, 2024 at 1:00pm at neutral sites.[81]

However, on November 14, 2024, the WVSSAC filed two separate petitions with the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia requesting the Wood County and Mason County orders be prohibited from enforcement and requested the Court grant expedited relief.[82] On November 15, 2024, the Supreme Court granted both motions for expedited relief and ordered responses filed in the case by noon on November 18, 2024. As a result, the play-in games in class AAA were called off, awaiting the result of the Supreme Court's ruling.[83] Also on November 15, a Wayne County circuit judge ordered a play-in game between St. Marys and Tolsia be held within five days.[84]

On November 19, 2024, the Supreme Court of Appeals ruled that the injunctions in Wood and Mason Counties exceeded the circuit court's authority and ruled in favor of the WVSSAC and reinstated the original football ratings.[85]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Spring Mills was ordered to forfeit four wins following a determination by the WVSSAC that an ineligible player played in those games. Later a judge in the Circuit Court of Berkeley County ordered that the WVSSAC decision violated federal law as the player qualified as homeless under the McKinney-Vento Act.[86]
  2. ^ Only sixteen teams were classified as class AAAA in 2024, as such, all sixteen teams qualified for the playoffs.
