For the first time since 2014, the Division I high school football championship game will feature a pair of undefeated teams. And it's a matchup very few are surprised to see. Top-seeded St. Johnsbury and No. 2 Burr and Burton have appeared to be on a collision course for the Division I final since the teams met for a preseason scrimmage in August who then spent the better part of the last 10 weeks blowing out their competition. Although no score was kept, BBA was the clear winner of the scrimmage at St. Johnsbury. "They were a measuring stick that showed us where they were and where we were and honestly where we needed to be," St. Johnsbury coach Rich Alercio said. "It will be 85 days since (the scrimmage). The goal is to see how much we've narrowed the gap. It wasn’t close then and this game provides an opportunity for us." "We showed that we were ready to start the season," BBA coach Tom McCoy said. "It was great for us to see that we were headed in the right direction." More: All the Vermont high school football results, scores, stats from Week 10 semifinals The Hilltoppers and
