High School Football Schedules Released

Fall football schedules have been released for area high schools, and dates for spring jamboree games have been announced.

For Northview and Jay, it’s the year in the Florida High School Athletic Association’s new Rural Division which includes only smaller rural schools with less than 650 students. The new division was created to level the playing field and prevent the small rural from competing at the state level against urban schools that draw from much larger population.

Last year, the Northview Chiefs advanced to the state semifinals before falling 49-14 to Jacksonville Trinity Christian, a private urban school.

Last season, the Jay Royals finished the season without a win. This year, the Royals have new leadership and new hope in their new division.

For the Tate Aggies, this fall will mean a move into District 1-6A with Escambia, Milton, Pace, Pensacola, Pine Forest and Washington.

Here are the spring games that will be played this month, as well as the Fall 2011 schedule for North Escambia area high schools:
