If you're a fan of high school football in West Orange and Southwest Orange, this is the guide for you.

Here, you’ll find in-depth previews of our seven public high schools and five private schools. You’ll find an outlook on each team, interviews with the coaches, players to watch, a transfer tracker and full schedules.

However, even if you’re not a football fan, there’s something here for you. Football wouldn’t be football without the marching band’s performance during halftime; the cheer teams on the sidelines; the team moms who put together team meals and help with fundraisers; and even rivalry games that always manage to fill up the stands. 

We hope you enjoy this edition of Friday Night Sights and that, after reading it, you’ll want to stop by a football game and spend a Friday night under the lights. 

To stay connected, make sure to grab copies of our newspapers; bookmark OrangeObserver.com; and follow us on Facebook, X and Instagram.
