WVSSAC Super Six Football Championships

Last updated

The WVSSAC Super Six Football Championships was a series of high school football games, typically held on the first weekend of December, that determined the high school champions of the U.S. state of West Virginia. The tournaments that lead to the championship games, as well as regular-season competition, are governed by the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC). The games were named "Super Six" because six teams played in the state's three championship games. However, beginning in 2024, the WVSSAC began dividing football into four classes, and no new name other than "State Football Championships" has yet benn announced. [1] The Championship games were held at Wheeling Island Stadium in Wheeling, a two-day affair, with one game on Friday and two on Saturday, but they will return to Laidley Field in Charleston beginning in 2024 through at least 2026. The WVSSAC chose Charleston over bids from Wheeling, Bluefield, and a joint bid to split the four games between Marshall University and West Virginia University. [2]

History

The WVSSAC began conducting state football championships in 1937. Throughout its history, the competition has been divided into classes based on enrollment. The history of classifications is as follows:

In 1947 in Class B, 1947 and 1948 in Class A, and 1955 and 1956 in Class AA, there were no actual championship games. Those championships was awarded based on ratings. Class B was only in use from 1947 through 1957.

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 were three classes as well, but the names were changed to Class AAA (big schools), Class AA (medium sized schools) and Class A (small schools). From 2024, the terms AAAA, AAA, AA, and A are used, with AAAA being the highest classification.

WV Colored State Football Champions

Not that many years ago, 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 schools were governed by the WV Athletic Union, but did not receive as consistent media attention as their white counterparts. This makes research difficult. [16]
