All our non conference games this year were 7:30pm, all our conference games were 7pm, Maxpreps schedule shows our playoff game at 7pm but honestly who knows. I think if both teams agree it can be played at 7pm.
Go with 7:30. Give people time to get off work. Give Hound fans time to travel and eat. What’s the rush. Most folks got nothing to do but go to bed after is over. Personally I’d be fine with 8:00 start for all High school Football Games.
A few years back, when First Flight had to travel 5 hours one way, to play North Davidson in the first round…. ND offered to start the game early to help First Flight out a little. NCHSAA shot it down immediately. I’d say that they are pretty committed to keeping it at 7:30 across the board.
