Section 2 football: A first look at Class B

We will be taking a look at the alignments and schedules for all five football classes in Section 2 this week. To read about Class D, click here. To read about Class C, click here.

No Class B teams from 2018 moved up or down a level, which means the divisions are virtually unchanged.
