Gone camping: High school fall football camps open

With July coming to an end and the fall just around the corner, there are only a few short weeks separating West Orange and Southwest Orange high school football teams from hitting the gridiron for their 2025 kickoff classic preseason games. 

One of the biggest signs that the boys of fall nearly are ready to pour out their blood, sweat and tears under the Friday night floodlights is the opening of fall training camp, and as of Monday, July 28, the area’s teams have started to put together all they’ve been working toward during the spring session and summer workouts with camp officially open.
