The state of Alaska joins into the fun of the 2016 high school football season this weekend with a slate of 14 games to open the regular season. Last weekend, Hawaii kicked-off the 2016 season.
The biggest match-up is in Soldotna where the four-time defending Medium School state champs with a 39-game win streak will play defending Big School champ West High School from Anchorage.
