Before you settle down for a long winter's nap, or just lay down on the couch after eating too much turkey to watch the Lions lose another game on Thanksgiving, enjoy this poem to get you and yours hyped up for championship football this weekend. 

'Twas the eve of the Idaho state championships, clear and cold, 
Football fervor in the air, tales of glory to be told. 
Six mighty battles on the gridiron, fierce and grand, 
Let's dive into the thrill of each, across the Idaho land. 

 

First, Camas County meets Kendrick in the Kibbie Dome, a clash so bold, 
Heroes will emerge as the story unfolds. 
Oakley against Butte County, a duel of might, 
Cheers will roar through Holt Arena, under Friday night's fluorescent light. 

 

West Side faces Declo, in a showdown of pride, 
Fans roaring on each side, on this thrilling ride. 
Sugar-Salem confronts Teton, in a dance of skill, 
On the field, dreams will collide, a historic moment to fulfill. 

 

Bishop Kelly and Hillcrest, a tale to be sung, 
In the battle of Knights, where legends are young. 
Highland and Coeur d'Alene, a clash of the titans, 
Under the Dome in Poky, excitement will heighten. 

 

The cheer of crowds, the battle of teams, 
In the Idaho night, where football dreams gleam. 
Touchdowns and tackles, brawn and might, 
Echoes of triumphs, through exhilarating nights. 

 

So here's to the heroes, in victory or defeat, 
In the season's final games, where the gridiron heart beats. 
Six games, six tales, in Idaho football lore,

State champions crowned, forever to adore.
