Mater Dei beat St. John Bosco easily to win the CIF Southern Section Division 1 title. It was the week’s most important game.

But that was just the beginning. On Friday, Nov. 24, high school football state winners were crowned all over the country.

Some states, like Illinois and Minnesota, gave out trophies for more than one class on Friday. More will be given out on Saturday.

Georgia had a lot of upsets. In the third round, nationally ranked teams Buford, Mill Creek, and Colquitt County all lost.

Here is an updated list of the playoff and state title dates for each state and one district, along with the playoff brackets where they are available. Come back soon for more information and links to the playoff forms. Next week is the start of the high school football playoff season in Connecticut.
