Idaho high school football playoff brackets are set: Who got in and who missed out

Will Syslo was entrenched in sports growing up. He played multiple organized sports during his early years — flag and tackle football, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, and golf to name a few. While in high school, he played football for all 4 years and lacrosse for 3. When he realized he probably wasn’t going to make IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — The road to a state championship is officially set, and the final week of Idaho high school football brought plenty of surprises across eastern Idaho.

LAS VEGAS — A week ago, Sean McVay was the biggest reason the Los Angeles Rams were sitting in last place in the NFC West, their Super Bowl aspirations disappearing faster than my chips at the blackjack table. However, on Sunday afternoon at Allegiant Stadium, McVay delivered his best coaching performance of the season, and now he’s the biggest reason the Rams season is still alive. After six weeks of questionable decisions, offensive stagnation and self-inflicted wounds, McVay delivered his finest coaching performance in the Rams’ 35-21 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. And it came at the perfect time. The Rams entered Sunday’s OG showdown between two franchises that once called Los Angeles home with a 2-4 record, having lost four of their first six games, as a season that began with Super Bowl aspirations was rapidly turning into a nightmare. McVay deserved plenty of blame for that…
