Friday Night Lights remain about high school football, and we re-iterate our disappointment that the Big Ten and the University of Wisconsin continues to infringe upon this great tradition.

The WFCA has always supported reserving Friday night for High School Football, and the Big Ten and University of Wisconsin's decision to continue to infringe on that deeply-rooted tradition creates obstacles to the long-term success of the game at every level. #wisfb

The entire football community is saddened to learn of the passing of Somerset coach Bruce Larson today. Coach Larson was a longtime, active member of the WFCA & we were very proud that he was named the National Coach of the Year in 2015. Our thoughts are with his family.
