High School Football Season: When To Watch Greater Alexandria Teams

MOUNT VERNON, VA — High school football season is upon us, so get out your spirit gear and cheer on the West Potomac High School Wolverines, Mount Vernon Majors and other greater Alexandria teams.

Gathering in the football stadium to root for the local team is a fall tradition in many towns. The season for most local varsity football teams begins in late August and runs through early November. After that, qualifying teams will compete in regional tournaments in their quest for the state title.
