The dog days of summer are numbered: fall is just around the corner and high school football will begin soon in North Central Florida.

Practice will begin Monday, but Marion County teams kicked off the 2011 season Thursday afternoon in Ocala where coaches and players gathered to discuss last season's memories, spring ball success, the importance of summer conditioning, and to preview the upcoming season.

TV20 will bring you updates from each team as we get closer to the first Friday night under the lights.
