SSAC Adopts Four Team Playoffs For State Football
The West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission approved a four team playoff format in all three football classes replacing the prior top two system. The change, urged by the West Virginia Coaches Association, includes a tie breaking method with teams starting at the opponent’s 10 yard line after a two minute rest and four downs to score. Additional actions include a first game based rating for rematches, a budget report, eligibility rules for students returning after Greenbrier Military School closure, and the Morgantown cross country meet set for Oct. 28 with new board appointments named.
