Join us for complete football coverage

The bands will play, the fans will cheer and the games will count.

Welcome to the season’s first Friday. It may not feel like fall, but excitement will fill the air as the lights at high school stadiums across northeastern Louisiana click on.

This season, The News-Star is once again your source of information for prep football.

Tonight, Cody Futrell will be at the Parkway-Bastrop game. Sean Isabella has the coverage for the West Monroe-Wossman game and Brett Hudson will cover Ruston at Neville.

Follow the game on Twitter. We’ll be sending updates throughout the game: @ST_isabellaTNS for Sean, @cfutrellTNS for Cody and @BHudsonTNS for Brett.

We’ll have game scores on The News-Star’s Facebook page and at thenewsstar.com.

And we’ll wrap it up with our stories about the game at thenewsstar.com and Saturday’s edition of The News-Star.

We’ll have the action covered for you.
