W.Va. (WSAZ) – Due to ongoing litigation, the WVSSAC football playoffs for all four classes have been postponed, officials just released Tuesday afternoon.

The WVSSAC said playoffs will begin after the litigation has been resolved.

A statement was released on Tuesday by David Price, WVSSAC Executive Director: ”We are extremely disappointed to not be having the playoffs this weekend. We understand the frustration from all of the parties involved, and we want nothing more than to put the focus back on the student-athletes and their pursuit of a championship. However, we must abide by the decisions of the courts and their timeline.”
