BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — This isn't an April Fools joke!
The high school football season has finally arrived as Section VI teams kicked things off Thursday night with the first games of the 2020 season. This year's schedule looks different with all Section VI teams playing a five-game regular season schedule followed by a two-week postseason.
The Monsignor Martin kicked off their season last week.
Section VI week 1 scores:
Thursday, April 1st
South Park: 38, Starpoint: 13
Sweet Home: 21, Amherst: 7
Grand Island: 21, Lockport:14

It felt SO good to be back on the high school football sidelines and it felt even better covering a great game. The defending Section VI Class A champs, @SPARKSFOOTBALL, opened their season with a 38-13 win over @Spointfootball. @wny_football @WNYAthletics @coachdelaneysp2 pic.twitter.com/CqO05Rr4Q7
