Northwood’s football team has wrapped up its summer session.

But it won’t be long before the Timberwolves are back on the field preparing for their season opener.

“My preseason schedule is pretty diverse,” said Northwood Coach Paige Nobles. “We play some teams that could bite us early and not look back if we are not playing the way Northwood should be. Our toughest pre-season opponents will be Dana Hills and Troy.”

The season opener against Saddleback Valley Christian is at Irvine Stadium but it will be a home game for Saddleback Valley Christian.
