Hey there, I got involved in my school's football team and am trying to work out my schedule. Does anyone know what time do most high school football games generally end?
The end time of high school football games can vary depending on several factors such as the start time, the length of each quarter, halftime length, and whether there are any unexpected delays such as weather conditions, overtime, or injuries during the game.
Typically, high school football games start at around 7 PM and each quarter lasts about 12 minutes. However, the clock isn't running constantly as it stops for timeouts, between quarters, and whenever the referee deems it necessary. Additionally, there's usually a halftime break that can last around 15-20 minutes.
Given all these considerations, a typical high school football game generally takes about 2-3 hours; so you could expect most games to end at around 9-10 PM. However, it's always best to allow for some flexibility as some games might run a bit longer depending on circumstances.
