High school football is back in the Gadsden area starting this week and the action is starting up Thursday, Aug. 27.
The AHSAA season officially got started last week, but a few Gadsden-area teams waited until this week to get going. That group is led by Hokes Bluff, which starts with Southside on Thursday, and Westbrook Christian, which travels down to Ashville. Cherokee County and Sand Rock both get started with traditional rivalries with Piedmont and Spring Garden, respectively.
The season runs through October before the playoffs start in November. The AHSAA Football championships are December 1-5 in Mobile, one of many changes this season. The biggest shakeup was the public-private split and ensuing fallout that created two classes and got rid of 7A.
Keep up with coverage closer to kick off on Thursday and Friday.
