BOISE, Idaho — The stage is set – following two months of roller coaster regular season action, the top teams in six classifications seek history in the 2024 Idaho high school football state championships.
The 6A bracket features seven SIC squads after Borah and Highland claimed the final at-large spots based on their final MaxPreps rankings. Rocky Mountain and Eagle earned first-round byes and await opponents in the quarterfinals.
Eight matchups opened Friday's slate in the 5A state playoff bracket. SIC frontrunners Bishop Kelly and Vallivue punched their ticket to the quarterfinals with home wins over Pocatello and Bonneville respectively, while Emmett and Nampa fell on the road.
Four showdowns in four different classifications wrap up the first round Saturday. McCall-Donnelly visits Snake River at 12 p.m., and Timberline hosts Kuna at 5:30 p.m. at Dona Larsen Park.
