The High School season kicks off Tonignt Aug. 23, 2001 in the State Capital and the other games start on Friday night 8/24/01 in West Virginia. When does your states begin or have they started?

Our Endowment Games start this week, and the rest of the schools start next week (8/30 and 8/31) here in North Carolina.

September 7 in MD ... feels like an eternity

As stripes said, our first games are on the 24th. Mine is a dog with fleas but it's still a game! :)

In Florida, we have our "Kickoff Classic" games this weekend. The games look like football, feel like football, smell like football ... but they don't count in the final standings (the teams that win this weekend count the win, the teams that lose call it a 'warmup' and forget it ever happened!!).

Next week, it's on for the record.

thank goodness its here!
 

In Illinois, the season opens 8/24 for good!!!! And for the next nine weeks, it is constant football!

New York, 8 game regular season with first regular season game on Sept. 14.

Does anyone else play such a short season?

No. In fact, we play 50% more than you do. We go for 12 weeks. Last regular season games are on November 9. However, teams are only allowed to play 11 games, so each one will have on Friday night off.

Season Start
 

In Indiana we had "Controlled Scrimmages" on Aug. 10 and 11.
Regular season games started on Aug. 17. Everybody plays 9 regular season games. The all-inclusive play-offs start on Oct. 19 this year (5 classes), ending with the state finals weekend in the RCA Dome.

WI Started Last Friday
 

And the #1 rated Div. I School won with ease. 7-3 at the end of the 1st quarter, they then scored on the first play from scrimmage on their next 5 posessions. Ah yes, HS football is back.
