The High School Football Huddle
While the Lower 48 and Hawaii will have to wait a little bit for the regular season games to start, they're strapping on the helmets for real tonight and Saturday in Alaska.
How does footbal in Alaska differ? While most schools are sweating out two-a-days, there's already been snow at the Barrow Whalers practices. Of course, Barrow is the only school above the Arctic Circle, and is the northernmost city in the country. The team's blue astroturf field sits only 100 yards from the Arctic Ocean. Click here for a story on the Whalers entering their third season of football.
Barrow and 27 other schools from around the state open their eight week regular season this week, and Alaska High School Football Huddle is here to keep you up-to-date with news and scores from around the state.
Juneau, which was a perfect 11-0 last year, will be going after its third Big Schools' title in four years. The Soldotna Stars will be going for the three-peat in Small Schools. Click here for a story on the Crimson Bears and Soldotna trying to defend their titles.
