See this week’s updated high school football playoff schedule
The first round of the 2023 AHSAA high school football playoffs will have an unusually heavy amount of Thursday games.
Currently, 34 of the 104 Round 1 games are scheduled for Thursday – many due to the Veterans Day Holiday. Some have altered the schedule due to a threat of rain in some parts of the state on Friday.

Among the teams set to play on Thursday are four-time reigning Class 7A champ Thompson and last year’s Class 6A runner-up, Mountain Brook.
Also, all six AISA semifinal games are scheduled for Thursday.
Here is the current playoff schedule for this week, but obviously it is subject to more changes. AL.com will update if that happens.
