#BeyondTheKeystone Utah (Monticello v. Monument Valley)
August 20, 2019 | Sykotyk
On Friday night, a small town in southeast Utah beckoned. Monticello is a small outpost along US191 and the junction with US491 (formerly US666). Also, the acclaimed highest elevation field in the state of Utah at 7,113 feet. Nominally named Monticello Stadium isn’t that noteworthy. Simply, to the point type of stadium. Aluminum and decent. […]
#BeyondTheKeystone Utah (Corner Canyon v. Orem)
August 20, 2019 | Sykotyk
The 2019 Season opened in Utah, who were hosting their Week 0 Endowment Games. The marquee game was a matchup on Thursday night between defending champion Corner Canyon and defending champion Orem. After a spirited back-and-forth for much of the first half, the Orem Tiger offense stalled. Corner Canyon took advantage of a bad snap […]
#BeyondTheKeystone New York Championships

New York has a patchwork of high school football. The largest, and most notable association, is the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. Consisting of 11 Sections across the state, it covers almost all of the public high schools in the Empire State. The lone holdouts are the New York City schools, who […]

#BeyondTheKeystone New York (10/24/18)
October 29, 2018 | Sykotyk
New York has a rather intriguing post-season structure. After a seven-game regular season, a three round playoff starts. For most classes. Class AA and D only play a two-round playoff, because of how few teams are in each. So, they get an extra regular season game. Then, those that don’t qualify can play in the […]

October 22, 2018 | Sykotyk
On Saturday afternoon, a unique game took place at Lakewood High School in Hebron, Ohio. Wheeling Central Catholic (WV) and Portsmouth West had scheduled a game but started looking for a neutral site. A serious of happenstance led them to seeking out Lakewood HS’s Lancers Stadium to host the game on a Saturday afternoon. The […]
#BeyondTheKeystone New York (Tonawanda v. Springville Griffith)
October 19, 2018 | Sykotyk
The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) has 12 Sections. Very similar to PA’s Districts. They’re solidly geographically defined, and the far western Section, covering Buffalo and areas from roughly Olean and west along I-86 are members of Section 6. Section 6 traditionally follows the seven game regular season, while Class D […]

September 25, 2018 | Sykotyk
Monday included a trip north once again to Bemus Point. A spot on the map I know well with several trips over NY17 and now I-86 over Chautauqua Lake. After taking in a game at the north end of the lake on Saturday, it was now time for a game on the southern end. Maple […]

Northern Garrett v. Clear Springs — Half Mile High Stadium, Accident, Maryland A 5pm kickoff on Thursday meant getting home at a decent time.

Saturday was another long day. A nearly 3 hour drive home Friday night was combined with a nearly 3 1/2 hour drive to Buffalo. Why? On my way to Buffalo.
