In only its second season, the state’s alignment for high school football still takes some getting used to.

There’s three classes split up into a total of seven districts.

A lot of the old rivalries have stayed the same but the new alignment has created some new ones, too.

With a number of big district games on tap this weekend, here’s our picks for the local games.
