Football edition unveiled at event

If you’re a fan of high school football, you know that the start of the season is right around the corner.

But before you head out to the stadiums beginning Thursday night, you’ll want to make sure you get a copy of our annual football edition. This year’s edition of The Gridiron will be included in Wednesday’s newspapers. The 132-page glossy publication will include an in-depth look at each of our area’s teams, schedules and feature stories that will ensure readers are ready for the coming season.

It will continue to build on the success of the last two years — the 2014 and 2015 editions took first-place honors in the best special sports section category when the Ohio Associated Press Media Editors organization handed out its annual awards.

Fans who can’t wait for Wednesday to get their hands on this year’s publication will have the chance to purchase a copy Tuesday, when the Herald-Star and The Weirton Daily Times present their community tailgate party. The annual event will run from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in front of the newspaper, 401 Herald Square, Steubenville.

Those who attend will have the chance to purchase a copy of the football edition and enjoy a hot dog, a bag of chips and a drink, and will be treated to a live performance by the Steubenville High School Marching Band. The cost will be $3, and proceeds will benefit literacy programs at the newspapers.

Extra copies of The Gridiron will be available for purchase at the newspaper office and at retail outlets throughout the Tri-State Area beginning Wednesday.

Complementing our high school football edition will be a separate section that will cover college and professional football.

You’ll find that preview included in our Sept. 2 editions.

Football returns in just a few days. We hope you’ll plan to join us Tuesday as we get ready for the season to begin.
