2021 SD High School 11AA Football Season Preview

Pierre has done the unthinkable by winning four straight championships in class 11AA. Each season has been unique as to how close they were to the rest of the competition. This season promises to be one of the closest races in recent years. Several teams whether they’re in my top five or not have a shot to get to the dome.

2021 ND Class 11A Football Season Preview

The new 11A class is another difficult one to predict because we’re about to see a lot of programs compete against one another for either the first time or the first time in a long time. Fargo North, Fargo South, Grand Forks Red River, Grand Forks Central and Dickinson have always competed in the same division as the biggest schools, but this year they’ll be in the second tier for the Class A schools.

2021 SD High School 11B Football Season Preview

The usual suspects are lining up at the top of 11B again. Winner or Bridgewater-Emery has been in the championship game for the past six years. This season there is some new blood that would love to crash the party but the old favorites are strong as usual.

2021 SD High School 11A Football Season Preview

This is the only class without a defending champ. Tea Area has moved up to 11AA and that means the title is up for grabs. The teams at the top are perennial contenders but this is how I see this competitive class playing out this season.
