The Pennsylvania high school football season kicks off tonight, and there’s so much to look forward to in 2023 — especially in the Mid-Penn Conference.
The league features multiple returning PIAA champions, semifinalists and surprises from a season ago, and many of those teams look poised to be right there at the finish come December. It’s got the makings of one of the most entertaining seasons in recent memory, and there have been some dandies of late.
This year, 4th Down Magazine is launching a live blog every Friday to give you a one-stop shop to track every score in the midstate, from Mid-Penn squads to former Tri-Valley League teams now in the Colonial-Schuylkill League. Be sure to check back in constantly for the latest updates, highlights and scores throughout the night. And if you’ve missed any of the previews leading up to opening kickoff for your favorite team, we’ve got you covered.
Happy football season, let’s have a good one.
