High school football: 2024 schedules, complete coverage for Augusta-area programs

It’s high school football game week in Augusta.

Everyone is 0-0 and, for many area programs, Friday will be the first step of a marathon to a hopeful state championship opportunity.

For some programs, it’s about taking care of unfinished business from last season. For others, it’s about that crucial step forward to being a state playoff contender. Early-season matchups will serve as a barometer for where these teams stand before we get into the thick of region play.

As the action kicks off Friday night, this page will serve as a one-stop shop for all of our coverage for the 2024 season. Here’s a look at some of what we saw in the preseason, including schedules for each team in our coverage area. This page will update throughout the 2024 season, so be sure to follow along.
