WARSAW — High school football returned to Indiana Friday night as teams around the state knocked off the rust with scrimmages under the lights. While scrimmage night is not quite the real thing, it’s close enough and fans were more than satisfied to see their favorite prep teams back in action. It was a little muggy, but it could have been much worse. At the end of the night, teams figured out what to work on and what to get excited for as week one of the IHSAA football season rapidly approaches.

Oh, for those wondering, the paint used in Friday night’s scrimmages was of no issue for safety or quality of play.

Enjoy some of the photos from Friday’s first taste of the 2016 season.
