The high school state football championships will be held at the Naval Academy's Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium this fall, ending a 14-year run at M&T Bank Stadium, officials announced Aug. 15.
"The beginning stages of this were when the Ravens announced they were putting in a grass field for this upcoming season," Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletics Association executive director Andy Warner said. "Discussions with the Ravens' staff really brought to light that the four games in three days would be tough, especially because they had games taking place around that time period."
The MPSSAA football state finals are scheduled to take place Dec. 1-3, which is a Thursday-Saturday. One game will be played Thursday, one on Friday and then a doubleheader on Saturday.
