The third week of the high school football season has already begun with several games being played Thursday as Labor Day weekend begins early. (Notably, Garner whipped Broughton 37-13 and Leesville Road handled Durham Jordan easily 39-6).

A stray thunderstorm is possible through the evening tonight but mostly it will be 70 and fair. Here are 10 football games being played tonight that are within driving distance in the Triangle area. Most games are at 7:30 p.m. You might want to check with local officials as some games start at 7. In bold below are the predicted winners. Last week my record was 6-3 for a 13-7 season mark.
