PIERRE, S.D. – The South Dakota High School Activities Association has released the schedule for the State Football Championship games to be played November 14th and 15th at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium on the campus of South Dakota State University due to construction and renovation inside the Dakotadome in Vermillion. Due to the fact that SDSU has a home game on Saturday, all 7 games will be played on Thursday and Friday. Here is the schedule for the State Championship Games:
Thursday, November 14th
9A- 11:00 AM
9AA- 1:45 PM
9B- 4:30 PM
11A- 7:15 PM
Friday, November 15th
11AA- 12:00 PM
11B- 3:30 PM
11AAA- 7:00 PM
In general, the 11AA and 11AAA are the highest attended contests and as such, are usually held as the sole or final contest on separate dates. Due to a scheduling conflict with the AA SoDak 16 Volleyball dates on November 14th, the SDHSAA made the decision to not separate the 11AA and 11AAA contests by date, and will instead separate them with the 11B contest. There has been added extra time in-between the 11AA and 11B contests to help avoid crowd and traffic conjestion and to help with traffic flow, parking and access.
