BOISE, Idaho — The 2023 Idaho high school football state playoffs reached the quarterfinals this weekend following a competitive opening round featuring a pair of overtime thrillers.
Over the past three days, 24 teams punched their ticket to the semifinals, while 24 squads saw their season come to an end. Just four teams remain alive at each level with a chance to claim a spot in their respective state title game next week.
Eagle and Meridian, who met in the 5A SIC championship game earlier this fall, both advanced with narrow wins at home Friday. Undefeated Bishop Kelly is the lone Treasure Valley team remaining in the 4A bracket following the quarterfinals.
The 3A Snake River Valley Conference is well represented in next week's final four. Homedale stayed perfect with a shut-out win, while Weiser went on the road and knocked off Kimberly.
