Friday football matchups cap packed week for South Durham schools

Jordan visits Riverside, Hillside travels to Orange, and middle school teams open competition across soccer, volleyball, football, and cross country.

Jordan and Hillside will carry South Durham into Friday night with road football games that kick off at 7 p.m. Sept. 11. The Falcons visit Riverside, while the Hornets travel to Orange.

Before then, a 17-event Tuesday slate launches four days of soccer, volleyball, football, field hockey, tennis, flag football, and cross country. The SoDu School Sports Guide lists 50 games and meets from Tuesday through Saturday across nine Durham public schools.

Readers can sort the guide by school, sport, day, and home or away, then follow links to the schools’ AthleticZone pages for the latest information.
