Football

In Fall 2024, Labor Day is early (Sept. 2) and Thanksgiving is late (Nov. 28). As has been the case in the past, this creates an extra weekend in the qualifying period before the beginning of the state tournament. The extra week is labeled “Week 1A”. Schools can schedule a maximum of 8 games in the 9-week period between Labor Day and the cutoff date. The football cutoff date is Sunday, Nov. 3, which is only to allow for postponed games (from Friday or Saturday) on the final weekend. Schools cannot schedule games on the cutoff date.
