There's been something in the air the past couple of days that has the feel of "fall is almost here." Perhaps it's the drop in humidity.
Fall, of course, means more than gold, brown and yellow leaves. It also means football.
For local high school programs, practices are now in full swing.
The first games of the season are scheduled for Sept. 3.
On that date, Holley will be at Oakfield-Alabama for a 7 p.m. game; Hornell will be in Batavia for a non-league game at 7 p.m.; In another non-league match up, Le Roy is in Livonia at 7:30 p.m.
On Saturday, Attica visits Notre Dame for a 1:30 p.m. league match up. Also at 1:30, Pembroke is at Alexander and Barker is at Elba/Byron-Bergen.
