Preseason high school football feast: scrimmages, dates, locations, teams

Some can't get why Arizona high school football is played in August. Others can't wait for football to get here. As a teaser into the 2014 season, there are always scrimmages the week before it all gets started to whet your insatiable prep football appetites. This is a working list. Email me at richard.obert@arizonarepublic.com if your scrimmage is missing and I will get your scrimmage posted.
