Prep sports get underway this week

By Brooklynn Wong

Who’s ready for Friday night lights? Summer is on its way out, and local schools are back in session, and with that comes the imminent start of fall prep sports. No area schools have football in the schedule yet this week—although Los Alamitos High has a scrimmage at Mater Dei in Santa Ana Thursday—but most do next week. Girls Volleyball gets underway this week, and the schedule gets fuller and fuller from there on out. Here is this week’s local prep sports schedule, along with some important dates to have in mind for later this month.

August 15, 6 p.m. Los Alamitos football scrimmage at Mater Dei (Santa Ana)
