Baton Rouge, LA - The high school football season kicks off Friday, September 1 and the WBRZ Sports 2 team previews 2017 in our half-hour preseason special.

High school football is nearly upon us, the jamborees start this weekend and the real deal kicks off just over a week from now.

With so many state titles up for grabs, there's a great chance that our area teams will be back in the dome competing for trophies.

Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas have really stepped up in the select divisions, but can those non-select teams step up their game and get there too?

Watch the video above to see the 30-minute Friday Night Blitz preseason special.
