Who will the Wildcats face this season? Gardner's 2024 football schedule is out.

Although the summer months are still upon us, soon the focus will turn once again to high school sports. Gardner-area football teams saw their share of success last season and will gear up for hopes of seeing more great moments this year.

Check out the area school's schedules, kicking off with Gardner for the start of 2024 football content.

The Wildcats once again will open their season with Quabbin followed by Saint Paul and Ayer-Shirley. They play almost an identical schedule to last year with only the exception of Burncoat of Worcester, which is not included this season.

Gardner finished its season 9-2, going undefeated in the regular season and ultimately falling to Tyngsborough in the state tournament. After suffering an 11-35 record from 2018-2022, last year was a huge breakout for the Wildcats.
