High School Football Weekend Wrap-Up 09.26.2022
Historic Night for Lake & Sumter County High School Football!
This weekend saw an incredible slate of games and was potentially one of the greatest nights of football we have witnessed in recent memory. From a historic night at The Villages to an impressive victory in South Sumter, lets wrap up an amazing weekend of Friday Night Lights High School Football action!
Hurricane Ian Update
Well it’s unfortunately that time of year again everyone! Hurricane Ian has been churning out in the gulf and there is a good chance that some of the games next week will be impacted. We will keep a good eye on the weather and in case of game cancellations we will let you know. It has been a while since games were affected by a hurricane the last significant hurricane that impacted things was Irma back in 2017. That hurricane halted play for over a week and many games were either rescheduled or cancelled entirely. We hope that is not the case and we hope the track continues to bring it elsewhere. Having said that if the Hurricane turns, please take all precautions necessary for your safety. We wish you a safe and blissful week. If you have power on Thursday we will be posting our weekend preview but again all games next week are TBD with weather.
