The high school football season opens a week earlier than previous years with a soft schedule of 16 games.
On tap is a mix of openers that pit evenly-matched squads in Suffolk Division III and the first look at powerhouse programs like Garden City and St. Anthony’s, who both play Saturday afternoon.
The Kings Park at East Islip opener on Friday at 6 p.m. provides an interesting look into the highly competitive Suffolk Division III.
Kings Park quarterback Kyle Weeks is a dual threat and he’ll need to have a big game to keep pace with an East Islip offense that has a bevy of talent at the skill positions with quarterback Thomas Costarelli, wide receiver Matt McIntee and halfback Andrew Cooper.
