21 football championships in the playoff era have been won by the 11-man teams participating in this week's South Dakota Football Championships.

Only two teams participating this weekend have never won an 11-man football title before. Tea Area will be looking for their first title in Class 11A, while Bridgewater-Emery/Ethan will be looking to win their first championship in 11-man football. BEE has previously won titles in 9-man football.

The teams playing this weekend are a combined 21-15 in state championship games since the playoffs started in 1981. We have a wide range of teams looking to secure their 4th consecutive title, to those making their first appearance in the title game since 1992.
