Greenbrier East
2025 Record: 6-4
SSAC Rank: #8 (Round One)
Greenbrier East delivered a strong, physical season while remaining competitive against top-tier opponents throughout the schedule. They climbed their way back into the postseason, narrowly falling to an eventual semifinalist.
Keshawn Bland anchors the roster as a versatile two-way contributor and key returning leader. The Spartans will see a variety of new faces in key positions across the field.
Key games include Woodrow Wilson, Winfield, and Ripley. Strength of schedule should help bolster them towards another playoff run.
Nicholas County
2025 Record: 2-8
SSAC Rank: #23
The Grizzlies fielded one of the younger rosters in the classification during 2025, and several narrow defeats prevented their progress from showing up in the standings.
The expectation entering 2026 is to flip many of those close losses into victories. The line should be a major strength, led by standout Kaleb Mann, while younger players continue to gain valuable experience.
A schedule full of swing games provides opportunities to make that leap. Matchups against Lincoln, Oak Hill, Midland Trail, Shady Spring, and Ripley could ultimately define the season.
PikeView
2025 Record: 7-3
SSAC Rank: #16 (Round One)
The Panthers enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in 2025, earning their first playoff appearance in more than a decade after winning seven games.
Although a talented senior class graduates, PikeView believes a new group of leaders is ready to emerge. The program has developed momentum and now faces the challenge of sustaining it.
Several crucial contests arrive in consecutive weeks against Liberty, Shady Spring, Westside, and Buffalo. Success during that stretch could determine whether PikeView remains in the playoff picture.
Princeton
2025 Record: 10-0
SSAC Rank: #2 (State Champion)
Princeton completed a perfect championship season, dominating throughout the regular season and playoffs to secure a state title.
The Tigers return key pieces including Landyn Moore, Colby Justus, quarterback Jake Belcher, and versatile athlete Alex Cox, giving them another championship-caliber foundation.
Key games include Bluefield, Chapmanville, George Washington, Herbert Hoover, and South Charleston.
Shady Spring
2025 Record: 4-6
SSAC Rank: #24
The Tigers endured growing pains early in 2025 but finished the season playing some of their best football, winning three of their final four games.
The program will rely on new faces stepping into larger roles, but Blake Snodgrass and Gage Spears provide strong building blocks for the next chapter.
Shady Spring has an opportunity to build confidence early before entering a pivotal midseason stretch against Oak Hill, Westside, and Liberty.
