WVSSAC Super Six Football Championships
The WVSSAC Super Six Football Championships is a series of high school football games, typically held on the first weekend of December, that determine the high school champions of the U.S. state of West Virginia. The tournaments that lead to the championship games, as well as regular-season competition, are governed by the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC). The games have the name of "Super Six" because six teams play in the state's three championship games. The Championship games are held at Wheeling Island Stadium in Wheeling, a two-day affair, with one game on Friday and two on Saturday.
History
The WVSSAC began conducting state football championships in 1937. Throughout its history, the competition has been divided into classes based on enrollment. The history of classifications is as follows:
- 1937–1946: Single-class system. Champion was named by the West Virginia Sportswriters Association.
- 1947–1954: Two-class system. Schools were placed in Class A or B based on enrollment.
- 1955–1957: Three-class system, based on enrollment, with Class B, Class A or AA based on enrollment.
- 1958–present: Three-class system, based on enrollment, with Classes A, AA and AAA.
In 1947 in Class B, 1947 and 1948 in Class A, and 1955 and 1956 in Class AA, there were no actual championship games. Those championships was awarded based on ratings. Class B was only in use from 1947 through 1957.
