SOMERVILLE, MA – Summer may be winding down, but for those of you lamenting the loss of long beach days, warm bonfire nights and more free time than a pro bono watchmaker, a remedy is fast approaching. That's right, football season is almost here.
The Highlanders' season officially begins Sept. 8, but you can catch them in action in a scrimmage against Seekonk next week (assuming you don't mind the drive).
Here's a look at the Somerville High School 2017 football schedule, via greaterbostonleague.org:
