We extend our best wishes to area high school athletes

Inside today’s edition of The Franklin County Times is our annual high school football preview magazine “The Game Plan.”

We worked long and hard to put the publication together and are eager to share it with our readers.

The players, cheerleaders and band members featured within its pages have worked hard to prepare for the upcoming season, which begins next week.

We hope all of the schools in Franklin County have a successful season in each sport in which they compete.

We also hope players are able to avoid major injuries as they continue their quest to bring titles back to Franklin County.

To all the athletes in Franklin County, have a safe and successful year representing your schools.
