The season is almost here, should you be a huge fan of high school athletics.

The South Central Calhoun volleyball and football teams are preparing for their return to the court and gridiron, welcoming in spectators for the annual Gatorade Scrimmage, slated for this Friday at the SCC High School Gymnasium and Titan Stadium in Lake City.

The Titan volleyball players will begin at 4:30 p.m., and the SCC football team starts at 6:30 p.m.

Before teammates face off against teammates in front of a live audience, all three of the Titan fall sports programs – cross country, volleyball and football – will host their respective media days. The cross country team will have their photos taken at 3 p.m., followed by the SCC volleyball team at 3:30 p.m.
