The start of every new school year is always an exciting time for a small community like ours – the thoughts of new classes, new friends and new experiences.

Sports fans can be excited also with the arrival of each new school year, because in addition to “reading, riting and rithmatic”, the fall also brings a lineup of unique athletic events that include football, volleyball, soccer, golf and cross country.

While some of the seasons have already gotten underway – soccer, golf and volleyball, others are set to begin this week – football, and the last in the fall lineup – cross country – will begin in a few weeks.

With this week’s Clinton County News, we present our readers with our close-up look at the lineup of sports and the young athletes who will be representing Clinton County this fall.

We hope you enjoy this preview, and make plans to get out and support our C.C.H.S. athletes involved in the lineup of fall sports.
