Fall is upon us, and not only are the leaves soon to change, but so to is the sports calendar. And while it’s nice to enjoy a Saturday afternoon watching college football on the couch, it’s also a lot of fun to get out and see some of the local high school and college teams compete. Even if you don’t have a specific rooting interest, it can be a fun way to spend an afternoon or evening with family and friends. And it’s often times more affordable than going to see a professional or major college team. Here are several of the fall sports schedules for local teams I would encourage you to check out:
