As we near the end of the regular season for HS Football, the weather gets colder and the Championship races heat up. However, in the end, only six teams will emerge as District 2 Champions.

In the local scene, Misericordia is looking to improve on their best season in their seven seasons of existence. Wilkes is looking to improving their record in a bounce back season under first year head coach Jonathan Drach. In the NFL, several teams are looking to gain ground in their race for the playoffs as head into the month of November. With all that being said, here are the previews for HS Football, College Football and the NFL.
