Listen to this articleHigh school football fans across the area, get out your calendars. Schedules for the 2019 season have arrived.
The IHSA on Wednesday released the newest slates for programs both locally and throughout the state -- for 11-man football and the 8-Man Football Association.
One point worth noting for Clinton and Danville rooters is the present existence of an open date on each squad's schedule. For the Maroons, that's in Week 2 (Sept. 6), and for the Vikings it falls on Week 5 (Sept. 27).
Below are the regular-season lineups for all area football teams.
