Excitement Builds For North Dakota’s High School Football Playoffs
The road to the Fargo Dome officially begins this week as the brackets for the 2023 North Dakota A and 9-Man football state playoffs have been set.
All eyes are now on October 25th, when the first round of the playoffs kicks off at venues from Langdon to Linton.
The excitement will reach a fever pitch as four state championship games are set to take place on November 14th at the iconic Fargo Dome, where the top teams will compete for the title.
The Fargo Dome, traditionally the venue for North Dakota’s largest high school football games, will host both the A and 9-Man state championship games on November 14th. This year it will be home to four separate coronations and four separate heartbreaks.
