Ready for some football? The prep season is almost here, and we' ve served up a beefy preseason primer for all you football nuts.

Look for the print edition of our annual Prep Football Preview section in the Thursday, Sept. 3 edition of The Daily News. The print edition, which includes a handy clip-and-save schedule for all teams in eight local conferences, is a great guide that's nice to have around the house the entire season.

Throughout the season, visit Preps Red Zone for comprehensive football coverage, including schedules, standings, photo galleries, video clips and up-to-date scores on all game days. When it comes to prep football coverage in Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon, you can't beat Preps Red Zone.
