HUNTINGTON — As high school football teams get into the second half of the season, the focus begins to shift toward the playoffs.

With several Tri-State teams positioning for the playoffs each game becomes critical toward reaching that goal.

West Virginia Class AAA top-rated Cabell Midland and fourth-rated Huntington High are in action Friday along with the annual Ohio rivalry contest of Chesapeake at Fairland and a pivotal West Virginia Class AA matchup of Wayne at Scott.

Following is a look at some games:

Huntington High (4-1)

at Woodrow Wilson (3-2)

When: 7:30 p.m., Friday

Where: Van Meter Stadium

What to watch -- Huntington High: The Highlanders are coming off a bye week following an emotional loss to Cabell Midland two weeks ago. If they come out flat, they will be in trouble. Van Meter Stadium is a hard place to win. Woodrow Wilson: Quarterback Andrew Johnson is one of the most under-appreciated athletes in the state.
