2026 Week 1 (Upper Midwest)
This was a very long trip. And it’s taken a while to have some free time to write about it. Weeks 1 and 2 were a 5,627 mile jaunt around the country.
2026 Week 1 (Upper Midwest)
2026 Week 0 (Georgia & Florida)
2026 Week 0 (Georgia & Florida)
The 2026 Season seemed to be so far away and suddenly it was the next day. With the way the schedules worked out, Georgia’s season started with four games before the rest of the state. Because of the World Cup, the schedule at Mercedes-Benz Stadium had been quite restrictive. The venue hosts the Falcons and the Atlanta United FC MLS team.

2025 Year In Review
2025 Year In Review
I saw the fewest games in a season in several years. Just 82 overall. But they were some of the best games and a lot of fun along the way. I found myself in Montana a lot. As well as seeing state championships in three new states. One being Montana, and the other two were weekends in Wyoming and Oklahoma. Bringing my total to 30 states that I’ve attended a state championship game in. Continue reading “2025 Year In Review”
2025 Week 18 (Texas)
2025 Week 18 (Texas)
I’m going to do this recap a bit different than previous weeks. Of the twelve games in Texas, the daily routine was fairly common. So, this will be more about the trip down to Dallas, and the drive home. With some notes and comments about the games. Continue reading “2025 Week 18 (Texas)”
2025 Week 17 (Oklahoma)
2025 Week 17 (Oklahoma)
Week 17 was the first half of a two weekend trip to close out the season. I had considered covering the PIAA Championships in Mechanicsburg. However, with pass limitations I let some more local photographers take up sideline positions.
At first, I was going to go to North Carolina. And that way I could see at least six games. UNC was hosting two doubleheaders on Thursday and Friday. While two different locations had doubleheaders on Saturday. Continue reading “2025 Week 17 (Oklahoma)”
2025 Week 16 (Ohio)
2025 Week 16 (Ohio)
Week 16 was an easy weekend compared to the past few weekends. Seven games in Canton just about an hour from home.

2025 Week 15 (Pennsylvania & West Virginia)
2025 Week 15 (Pennsylvania & West Virginia)
I was finally back in Ohio after several weeks out west. I had several things planned, and one was the big one. Greenville had one amazing run through the 2025 season. As much as I wanted to see the Port Allegany game, I was at least back for the state semifinal. Continue reading “2025 Week 15 (Pennsylvania & West Virginia)”
2025 Week 14 (Montana)
2025 Week 14 (Montana)
Week 14 was going to be a very brief week. Being in northern Montana, there were not many options for games. As it was state championship weekend.
Continue reading “2025 Week 14 (Montana)”
2025 Week 13 (Wyoming)
2025 Week 13 (Wyoming)
I had planned to be in Colorado this weekend for games. But an opportunity presented itself to me that I couldn’t really pass up. Saturday games in Colorado were going to be quite far from Fort Collins where I was at. However, five games for the Wyoming State Championships were just over an hour northwest in Laramie. And seeing the Wyoming state titles have long been on my list of postseason plans. So, it was settled.
2025 Week 12 (North Dakota)
2025 Week 12 (North Dakota)
I didn’t expect to be back in North Dakota. In fact, if I had been in North Dakota this weekend. It was state semifinal weekend, and there weren’t a lot of games to choose from. And it was going to be cold. Now, I started the week in Eastern Montana, and there were a few games there I was interested in. But, I was going to be in North Dakota and the drive back-and-forth wasn’t worth it for what would be the same number of games, if that.
