A spot in an AT&T Stadium suite awaited Susie Vickery, but she couldn’t get herself to go.

The toll of working as an administrative assistant for the Argyle football team this fall — especially this season — had finally hit her. The months of ensuring everything went right, when everything could’ve gone wrong during a pandemic, all of a sudden made her melt down, she admitted.

After waving goodbye to the Argyle Eagles, Vickery made a decision: she wouldn’t join them in person for last month’s 4A-I state title game against Lindale. Instead, she’d watch from the comfort of her own home.

The 2020 football season is officially in the books after the state champions were crowned on Friday and Saturday at the Gridiron Classic.

Here is our recap of each game, interesting stories and what we saw happen. It was a great ending to a trying season and we are thankful to have been a part of it from start to finish.

The Michigan high school football playoffs have reached the semifinal stage for 11-player football and the championships for 8-player football.

Every game Saturday will have a livestream option, giving fans unable to attend a game an opportunity to watch. Michigan COVID-19 restrictions allow just 125 fans per team in attendance.

FSD and MHSAA.tv will feature the livestreams of the games. Fans watching on MHSAA.tv will need to subscribe for $10.99 a month or $69.99 for the year and can sign up for the MHSAA.tv livestreams here.

Here are the matchups for the 2020-21 Michigan high school football state playoff semifinals and eight-man finals, all scheduled for Jan. 16:

JACKSON, Miss. (WDAM) - The 2020 MHSAA State Football Championships are set and WDAM will have coverage of all the games this weekend.

Coverage of this year’s championship games will be shown on Bounce TV as games are scheduled to happen Friday and Saturday at 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Below is a listing of channel numbers on cable and satellite providers that include Bounce TV:

Cable/Antenna - Channel 7.3
Comcast - Channel 216

Six high schools from the Pine Belt will be represented by their football teams at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson this weekend in championship play as Magee, Lumberton and Oak Grove high schools will play Friday, and Poplarville, Taylorsville and West Jones are set to play on Saturday.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Sunday that all sports in Michigan, other than professional and college, must stop competition for three weeks in an effort to bat down an exponential spike in COVID-19 cases in Michigan.

But that does not mean the end of the high school state playoffs in football, volleyball or swimming.

Mark Uyl, executive director of the Michigan High School Athletic Association, told the Free Press on Sunday that those playoffs are being put on hold and the MHSAA has every intention to finish them at a later date.

“We will suspend our three remaining fall tournaments,” he said, “and figure out how to get those completed.”

If that sounds familiar, it should.

In March, when COVID-19 began spreading throughout the state, the MHSAA suspended play in its remaining winter and spring tournaments. Uyl said then he had every intention of completing those championships, including boys and girls basketball and boys swimming, but it never happened because schools were closed in April and did not reopen until this fall.

MHSAA FOOTBALL SCHEDULE: Regional finals matchups for when playresumes

The MHSAA volleyball championships were scheduled to conclude this weekend in Battle Creek, and girls swimming and diving was scheduled to hold its championship meets this weekend as well.

The football playoffs were headed to regional championship games this weekend in 11-player and the semifinals in 8-player.

That is why the MHSAA is putting all playoffs on hold.

“Given the fact that we’re only down to three weeks in football,” Uyl said. “Again, it’s different than last March. We’ve got some time in front of us.”
