For the last several weeks, maybe months, it was unclear if there would be any kind of football season - high school, college and professional.

Barring something unforeseen, however, football season will get underway for Cordell and Burns Flat-Dill City this Friday night!

(The less important college and NFL seasons are also scheduled to begin soon.)

The Cordell Blue Devils are scheduled to travel to Sayre to face the Eagles at 7:00 on Friday, August 28.

Burns Flat-Dill City will begin the regular season on Friday, September 4, at Carnegie

That also means the annual Cordell Beacon Football Contest is coming. Sponsors will be offering cash and prizes to two winners each week. Be sure to check out the paper next week for a list of sponsors, prizes and that all-important weekly deadline for entries.

Also scheduled to debut next week is the Booster Page. Local businesses, parents and individuals commit to sponsoring that page each week so photos of student activities can be showcased.

In addition, each year the Beacon presents two scholarships to student-athletes with a portion of the funds from the Booster Page sponsors.

If you have not been contacted about supporting the Booster page or the Football Contest, please call the Beacon office at 580-832-3333
