The long wait is finally over for many teams in Southwest Riverside County. It might be the shortest season ever, there may not be playoffs, or aptly named league champs, but for the first time in a year, high school football teams across our area hit the field to compete this week. Here is a look at some of the scores for schools inside the Valley News coverage area. To report any additions or changes, email sports@reedermedia.com.
