FSHS Polar Bear Football

Class AAA No. 4 Elkins (6-1) at Class AAA No. 11 Fairmont Senior (2-5): Friday, October 23, 7 p.m.

In the midst of one of what must be one of the toughest high school football schedules in the state, things will get not easier for the Fairmont Senior Polar Bears any time soon. This week, the Polar Bears will welcome the Elkins Tigers to East-West Stadium, playing their eight team ranked in the Top 16 of their class in as many games this season, and their sixth Top 8 opponent.

The Polar Bears are coming off a 40-7 loss to the Class AA No. 5 Bluefield Beavers, which knocked them off track after getting back into the win column against the Class AAAA No. 12 Buckhannon-Upshur Buccaneers in their previous outing. They also have a win over Class AAAA No. 15 Preston this season, but losses to Class AAA No. 1 Herbert Hoover, No. 7 North Marion, No 8 Robert C. Byrd, and Class AAAA No. 3 University.

The Tigers will enter well-rested coming off their bye week in Week 8, and their last outing certainly was a confidence booster – as they earned a Top 10 win over the North Marion Huskies. They also have ranked wins over Class AA No. 8 Philip Barbour, Class AAAA N0. 12 Buckhannon-Upshur, and Class AA No. 10 Lincoln this season.
