BOISE, Idaho — Conference championships and state playoff berths are on the line as the Idaho high school football regular season reaches its final week.
No. 1-ranked Rocky Mountain and No. 2 Eagle square off in the 6A Southern Idaho Conference title game Friday night after both teams secured first-round playoff byes last week. Timberline hosts Owyhee in the Week 9 opener at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Winners of the No. 2 vs. No. 5 and No. 3 vs. No. 4 cross-division games join the Grizzlies and Mustangs with automatic berths to the big dance. Borah and Middleton finished second, while Kuna and Timberline finished third.
At the 5A level, three squads seek the SIC's two automatic playoff berths – Bishop Kelly, Emmett and Vallivue. The Knights, who were dethroned in the latest state media poll, travel to face the Huskies at 7 p.m. Friday.
No. 3 Weiser claimed the 4A Snake River Valley Conference title with its sixth straight win in Week 8. No. 1 Homedale and No. 4 Fruitland are both still alive for first-round byes in next week's state playoffs.
