The HSSR Will Be Very Busy With High School Football In November, Early December!
Moncks Corner—Over the next month the HSSR will once again experience its busiest time of the 2026-27 school year, as we will be covering the SCHSL and SCISA football playoffs in great detail, with the challenge of producing full color championship programs for both all the SCISA and the SCHSL participating teams.
The SCISA finals will take place at Charleston Southern University on November 10 and 21st. The AAAA teams will play at 7 p.m. on Friday November, 20. The SCISA AAA, AA and Class A teams will be played on Saturday November, 21.
The SCISA 8-man state title game will be played at a yet to be determined neutral site on Friday evening Nov. 20. Based on which two teams compete for a state title. The HSSR believes the two 8-man teams who will be competing are Jefferson Davis Academy (12-0) and W.W. King (one loss). These two teams met earlier in the season with JDA winning that game.
The HSSR has been producing Souvenir football championship programs for both SCISA and the SCHSL teams going back over 20 years. Each team receivers a separate edition with their team featured on the cover. We invite all Heads of Schools and Principals to write a courtesy Welcome Letter to their fans and teams in each individual edition.
In each program a staff writer from the HSSR writes a full- page feature story interviewing both head coaches from the respective teams facing each other in the state finals. Every program has a full page devoted to rosters from each opposing team, even including players moved p from the junior varsity.
Two weeks after we dive head first into producing the SCISA football championship programs we get to do it all again with the 12 teams from the SCHSL who will play for state titles on December 4-5 at South Carolina State University.
There will be three games played on Friday, Dec. 4 and three more games played on Saturday, Dec. 5. At noon on Friday the Class A Div. I teams meet to crown a champion. At 4 p.m. the two teams left in AA compete for a state title and then in the night cap at 8 p.m. the two teams left in AAAA meet to decide the state champion.
On Saturday Dec., 5 the Class A Div I title game will start at noon. The AAA state title game will begin at 4 p.m. on the 5th and in the night cap the AAAAA state title will be decided at SC State University.
One point of great benefit to some teams playing for a state football title is the fact that any team playing for a state title currently not sponsored for year- round coverage in the HSSR please take note that all sponsor ads in your individual program count as double credit, both in the program and for your school’s statewide coverage of all varsity sports in the HSSR monthly publication, and our companion web site hssr.com. If this is not a deal, we do not know what a deal is.
The web site hssr.com web site currently receives one million views a year according to google analytics. We print 50,000 annual copies of the HSSR publication and more than 250 colleges from across the nation are mailed the printed version each and every moth. Okay, great schools like Northwestern, Dutch Fork, Byrnes etc. please know that if your school plays for a state title, please help the HSSR get the word out about your official SCHSL championship program that we produce for your school and the SCHSL. The sponsor ads from your school purchased for your championship program will count double credit.
Your year-round coverage in the HSSR will start from Jan, 2026 until Jan. 2027. We provide order forms to all participating schools so we encourage you to help us get the word out about your keepsake souvenir program the HSSR will be producing once again this year.
We encourage all fans to get behind your teams as they compete for SCISA and SCHSL football championships over the next month. Lasting memories will be made by many teams for sure!
