List of South Carolina High School League football champions
Appearance
The South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) is an organization that regulates high school sports in South Carolina. Each year since 1916, the SCHSL has crowned a state champion in football. Every fall, a postseason consisting of a 32 school bracket is played to determine a winner.
The divisions for football are based on school enrollment. Divisions include:
- AAAAA (quin-A or 5A)
- AAAA (quad-A or 4A)
- AAA (triple-A or 3A)
- AA (double-A or 2A)
- A (one-A or 1A)
The SCHSL historically had a B and C division but these divisions are no longer used.
