Believe it or not, the playoffs are just two weeks away for half of the classifications in Idaho.

While most, if not all, teams treat the conference schedule as their “pre-playoffs”, the real deal gets underway in the 1AD1, 2A, and 3A classifications on Halloween. There’s no hiding behind masks in the playoffs like there is on Halloween though: by that point, your weaknesses are exposed and opponents know how to attack them.

A few teams in Idaho have completed their regular season, more teams wrap up their slate this coming week, and the rest finish out the schedule in two weeks. Some will advance, others will go home. Make no mistake, the playoff party is getting started here in Idaho. For the most part, we just don’t know who has been invited.

Enjoy it while it lasts: the postseason arrives quickly.
