The 2020 High School Football season, through an unexpected return to this fall and shortened, has had its challenges through the first few weeks.

In 2020, it has been the year of changes in routine, ways to communicate, distance and learning in school. When it comes to the beginning of the 2020 High School Football season, a small change can be great.

In the ever-changing world of sports, the trickle down continues into the High School ranks. On top of a COVID-19 pandemic, there's just one more change to the kickoff of our 2020 High School Football season.

Parents across Michigan are circulating a petition in favor of allowing high school bands to perform this fall.

Now that the High School Football season is slated to begin with its first competitions this Friday, the full slate of schedules can be found here with several changes from the original schedules in May.

Just over 24 hours after Governor Gretchen Whitmer updated Michigan residents on a possible return to some normalcy with gyms and pools reopening, big news came for the high school sports ranks involving their fall programs.

MHSAA officials announced that they are considering playing football this fall after seeing the success other states have had.

A week after the decision to move football to the spring, the Michigan High School Athletic Association approved contests scheduled for volleyball, Boys soccer, and Girls swimming and diving can go on, but only in a few areas in the state.

The monthly turn of the calendar puts us in July 2020 and the preparations for the upcoming school year continue after schools shut down in March.

When the whole Spring season was canceled in March amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it all became a waiting game on when athletics could return at the high school level in Michigan.
