Our websites have everything you need to know

High school football season opened Friday night, so our staff, led by Darren Sabedra and Evan Webeck, has been working double-time — two-a-days! — for the past few weeks to get ready.

They have accounted for 130 schools, three sections, 10 leagues (20 divisions) and hundreds of players.
