High school football in Georgia is not quite ready for prime time, but dress rehearsals are scheduled in nearby communities this week.
Scrimmage football games, practice encounters in preparation of the official start of the season later this month, give coaches and players a chance to gauge their progress, and communities a test drive of the Friday night experience.
According to a preseason schedule compiled by the Georgia High School Football Daily, here are the six scrimmages games coming up involving Forsyth County teams.
