We know that high school football fans live for these Friday nights when there are big games happening under the stadium lights.
That’s why the Southern California News Group has put together the biggest team of reporters in the area, so that fans get more of what they love — score updates, highlights, breaking news, game stories, videos and photos.
Tonight’s game plan
Our “Friday Night Football” host John W. Davis will keep you on top of all the highlights and game updates. He will be here for the pregame, throughout the games and wrap things up at the end of the night with a special video.
If you go to a game tonight we’ll provide the updates and highlights on your mobile device. If you stay home, follow the action with us on your laptop.
The countdown to kickoff has started … who’s ready?
Can you believe we’re almost halfway through the regular season of hs football in Southern California?
