Friday’s Battle of 840 kicks off Fairview High football season

Fairview Observer Staff
The 2019 Battle of 840 between Fairview High and Page High takes place Friday night at Fairview.

The Fairview High School football season will officially open this Friday night at 7 p.m. as the Yellow Jackets take on cross-county rival the Page High Patriots in the annual Battle of 840.

The Jackets had several of their powerhouse players graduate including Brock Harris QB, Jackson Clevenger OL, Kam Harris Luck WR, Hiller Gray C, and Blake Russell WR.

One of the big questions for this season, “Will Fairview have a third consecutive Class 3A Mr. Football finalist after Darius James was honored in 2017 and Kam Harris-Lusk in 2018?” - What do you say Jackets?
