Vermont's high school football season reaches a pivotal Week 7, with a four-game Thursday slate setting the tone before a packed Friday card and two Saturday finishers close out the weekend. Playoff positioning across the divisions is starting to sharpen, and several matchups carry real weight for teams jockeying for postseason seeding heading into the season's closing stretch.
Thursday's headline act pits Mount Anthony (4-2) on the road against Fair Haven (5-1), a contest that pairs a Patriots side looking to build momentum with a Slaters squad that has been one of the steadier outfits in the state through six weeks. Fans following along from outside the stadium gates have plenty of options to stay current, whether through radio updates, school athletic pages, or, for those tracking broader sports content and apps on the go, resources like brbrbr baixar apk that fans sometimes use to follow scores and schedules. The rest of the Thursday card features Lyndon at Hartford, U-32 at North Country, and BFA-Fairfax/Lamoille visiting Milton in an earlier 6:30 p.m. kickoff.
Friday, Oct. 16, brings the week's busiest schedule, with eight games on tap statewide. The marquee fixture is a Division III clash between Springfield (4-1) and an unbeaten Otter Valley (5-0) team that has yet to drop a game this fall. A win for Springfield would reshuffle the division picture considerably, while Otter Valley will be looking to protect its perfect record against a program that has shown it can compete with the state's better sides. Elsewhere on Friday, BFA-St. Albans travels to St. Johnsbury, Champlain Valley visits Colchester, and Rutland takes on Burr and Burton. Burlington/South Burlington heads to Essex, Brattleboro goes to Middlebury, Mount Mansfield plays at Bellows Falls, and Mount Abraham/Vergennes rounds out the night at Spaulding.
Saturday Finishes Out the Week
Two games close the Week 7 slate on Saturday, Oct. 17. Missisquoi travels to Rice, and Woodstock faces Mill River, both kicking off at 1 p.m. Neither matchup carries the same statewide spotlight as the Thursday and Friday headliners, but both will matter to teams fighting to solidify their standing inside their respective divisions as the regular season edges toward its conclusion.
How to Follow Along
Live score updates will be tracked throughout the week, with final results posted as they come in from coaches and team representatives. Games can also be streamed through the NFHS Network for fans unable to attend in person. As always, results depend on timely reporting from schools, so some scores may be added or corrected after the fact.
- Thursday, Oct. 15: Four games, headlined by Mount Anthony at Fair Haven
- Friday, Oct. 16: Eight games, including Springfield at unbeaten Otter Valley
- Saturday, Oct. 17: Missisquoi at Rice and Woodstock at Mill River
Why This Week Matters
With the regular season entering its back half, Week 7 results will carry extra significance for teams on the playoff bubble. Divisional records are beginning to firm up, and undefeated teams like Otter Valley face mounting pressure to maintain their standing against increasingly motivated opposition. Coaches across the state will be watching how their rivals fare just as closely as their own matchups, with seeding implications likely to come into sharper focus once Friday's full slate wraps up.
