The Glens Falls High School football team is going to Syracuse this weekend to play in the biggest high school football game in its’ history, the Class B state football championship. The Indians will be playing against top ranked Maine-Endwell (12-0) at 3 p.m. on Saturday, November 23, inside the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. The Indians made it to the Carrier Dome by beating Malboro High School 28-17 last Saturday, November 17, in Kingston. The last time Glens Falls made it close to the championship was in 1993, when they lost in the state semifinals.
