Football

Currently, high schools in the state of North Dakota are divided into four divisions for football: Class AAA, Class AA, Class A, and 9-man. From 1906 to 1974, all the schools in the state competed in just one division. In 1975, the format was switched to Class A, Class B, and 9-man. In 1997, it was changed to the current set of classes. The weekend for all the state championship games is called the Dakota Bowl.
The first high school football competition in North Dakota took place in 1906 and was won by Grand Forks Central. The football teams of the largest high schools in the state have been classified as both Class A and Class AAA at different times. When adding up wins in both classes, Fargo Shanley holds the most titles (20) among the state's larger schools. The first Class B competition took place in 1975 and was won by Watford City. Watford City has the most Class B titles (6). In 1997, Class B was discontinued and replaced with Class AA and Class A. Under this new classification, Minot Ryan won the first Class AA championship and Velva-Sawyer won the first Class A Championship. Cavalier and Dickinson Trinity are tied for the most Class AA titles (3 each) and Velva-Sawyer has the most Class A titles (7). The first 9-man competition took place in 1975 and was won by Napoleon. New England-Regent holds the most 9-man titles (4). As of 2006, the current Class AAA champions are Fargo South, the current Class AA champions are Watford City, the current Class A champions are Velva-Sawyer, and the current 9-man champions are Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter.
