High School Football Season Begins and More This Weekend

The week has come to a close, and the pleasant weather has you thinking about what events are happening this weekend. It’s OK. You can be honest with us.

That’s why every week, Palos Patch will give you a list of things to do in and around the area. Thank us later.

Friday

Football: Stagg vs. Hillcrest

The Amos Alonzo Stagg High School Charges are looking to get their season off right after going 2-7 in 2012. Stagg kicks the season off against the Hillcrest High School Hawks 6:45 p.m. at their stadium, 17401 S. Pulaski Road in Country Club Hills.

Football: Sandburg vs. L-Way Central

The Carl Sandburg High School Eagles will be taking on the Lincoln-Way Central Knights at the New Lenox field for both teams’ first game of the season.
