Youth football season has kicked off and squads from all over the Local.News area are set to do battle on the gridiron.
The CFA Youth Football League includes three area teams — Waynesboro, Chambersburg and Fairfield — while the Keystone Youth Football and Cheerleading League is composed almost entirely of local programs: Smithsburg, Hamilton, Hagerstown, Greencastle, Quincy, Fayetteville and Mercersburg.
Both leagues opened play last weekend and are set to the return to the field once again this weekend.
Below is a league-by-league, team-by-team look at how squads from the Local.News area performed in the opening weekend of youth football:
