I see by the calendar that football practices will officially begin in

just over a week and quite quickly after that, August

22nd, the first games in the state (Maury at Menchville and Norview at Huguenot) will be played.

Hopefully, by now, you've seen the

and you are familiar with my work around the Northern Region as I have

covered the area for the last six seasons.

I'm back for another season this year and we've expanded the

teams that will be included in the NoVa reports as a number of schools

have been added (see below for full details).

In the coming weeks, look for a number of articles including

players to watch, games to see, storylines to follow and programs on

the rise, to name a few.

There are new faces, new challengers, new prospects and a

whole bunch of exciting new things coming this fall. Be prepared for a

great season of high school football in 2014.

For your reference, here is the entire list of teams that are

included in the NoVa coverage area for VirginiaPreps.com:
