While non-league games continue to make the rounds and all schools finally played a league opener, some of the better teams in the area are just now starting to separate themselves from the pack.
In a few leagues, the big head-to-head games are either coming this week or even the final regular season contest. In other words, there’s plenty of shuffling to come, plenty of meaningful games ahead for all local high school football fans to enjoy. Week 8 of the high school season did give some teams the chance to flex their muscles at this stage of the season.
