WVSSAC Super Six Football Championships

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The WVSSAC Super Six Football Championships was a series of high school football games, typically held on the first weekend of December, that determined the high school champions of the U.S. state of West Virginia. The tournaments that lead to the championship games, as well as regular-season competition, are governed by the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC). The games were named "Super Six" because six teams played in the state's three championship games. However beginning in 2024, the WVSSAC began dividing football into four classes, and no new name other than "State Football Championships" has yet benn announced.[1] The Championship games were held at Wheeling Island Stadium in Wheeling, a two-day affair, with one game on Friday and two on Saturday, however they will return to Laidley Field in Charleston beginning in 2024 through at least 2026. The WVSSAC chose Charleston over bids from Wheeling, Bluefield, and a joint bid to split the four games between Marshall University and West Virginia University.[2]

History

[edit]

The WVSSAC began conducting state football championships in 1937. Throughout its history, the competition has been divided into classes based on enrollment. The history of classifications is as follows:

  • 1903-1936: Prior to WVSSAC or sportswriter involvement: Single-class system, games arranged by individual teams, 1903 & 1907 Fairmont Senior Source: "Knights of the Laughing Waters" by George W. Ramsey, Jr., 1915 Source: "Buckhannon Record" newspaper November 1915, 1916-1936 Source: "History of Sports in West Virginia" by Doug Huff. 1909, 1912 Source: "Huntington Advertiser" newspaper. 1908 & 1913 "Wheeling Genealogical Society.
  • 1916-1956: Colored School State Champions. Before the historic Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling, schools, and football games, were segregated. African Americans were forced to play in their own league. The West Virginia Athletic Union governed African American athletics during this time.
  • 1937–1946: Single-class system. Champion was named by the West Virginia Sportswriters Association.
  • 1947–1954: Two-class system. Schools were placed in Class A or B based on enrollment.
  • 1955–1957: Three-class system, based on enrollment, with Class B, Class A or AA based on enrollment.
  • 1958–2023: Three-class system, based on enrollment, with Classes A, AA and AAA.
  • 2024-: Four-class system based on an algorithm using enrollment, distance from a large town, and economic health of the community[1]

In 1947 in Class B, 1947 and 1948 in Class A, and 1955 and 1956 in Class AA, there were no actual championship games. Those championships was awarded based on ratings. Class B was only in use from 1947 through 1957.

From 1947 to 1954, there were only two classes; Class A (big schools) and Class B (small schools). From 1955 to 1957, there were three classes; Class AA (big schools), Class A (medium sized schools) and Class B (small schools). From 1958 to 2023 there were three classes as well, however the names were changed to; Class AAA (big schools), Class AA (medium sized schools) and Class A (small schools). From 2024, the terms AAAA, AAA, AA, and A are used, with AAAA being the highest classification.

WV Colored State Football Champions

[edit]

It is almost surreal to think that, not that many years ago, African American students were barred from playing football with White Americans. This changed in 1954 with a supreme court decision, Brown vs. Board of Education, overturning school segregation. The black schools were governed by the WV Athletic Union but did not receive as consistent media attention as their white counterparts. This makes research difficult. Information on the Colored State Football Champions has been provided by Robert Bonner, WV high school football researcher. More will be entered as the information becomes available.
