Final tune-ups approach, real high school football games next week

While some districts started their school year this week, and others Aug. 16, Aledo and Northwest ISDs begin on Monday.

This means the varsity football scrimmage for Aledo at Trophy Club Nelson begins at 9 a.m. Friday. Many other teams meet Friday night.

Garland ISD also begins Monday, so Garland Lakeview Centennial is at Richland at 9 a.m. Friday.

For Richland, it’s their second scrimmage. The Rebels scrimmaged Denton Ryan last week. Richland skipped spring drills, so they started August camp on Aug. 7.

For all the Class 6A and 5A schools that had spring drills, Friday is the last test before the regular season begins. Week 1 is Aug. 31-Sept. 2.
