The 2022 Indiana high school football regular season still has a week to go, but every team in the state now knows what the state championship Road to Lucas Oil Stadium looks like.

Earlier this week, the Indiana High School Athletic Association has announced its brackets for its 50th State Championship Tournament presented by the Indianapolis Colts. This year’s state finals will be played Thanksgiving Weekend, November 25 and 26.

The 6A bracket will be a lot of fun with nine of the teams in the High School Football America Indiana Top 10 battling for a trip to Indy. Making it even more exciting is the fact that two-time reigning 5A champ Cathedral has moved-up to 6A.

Cathedral and two-time reigning 6A champ Center Grove are on the same side of the bracket, which means they could meet in the state semifinals with a trip to Lucas Oil on-the-line. The two defending champs will also meet this weekend to close-out the regular season.

Below you can see every sectional matchup in all six classifications.
