Much will be determined tonight in the final week of high school football’s regular season.

The winner of the Green Valley at Foothill showdown receives the Southeast League’s No. 2 seed and a home playoff game next week. The winner would also avoid Sunrise favorite Liberty until the regional championship game.

The same holds true in the Northeast League, where Las Vegas and Valley are playing for the No. 2 seed.

In the Northwest League, Shadow Ridge hosts Legacy in a matchup with heavy playoff implications. If Shadow Ridge wins and Palo Verde beats Centennial, there would be a three-way tie for the league’s final two postseason berths.

In the 3A Sunrise, Virgin Valley hosts Del Sol needing a victory to create a three-way tie with Moapa Valley and Chaparral atop the league.

Games are played on Thursday this week because Nevada Day is observed statewide on Friday.

Check back all night for game information and final scores. We’ll have the playoff schedule once tie-breakers are finalized by the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association.
