Welcome to our high school football section, which is all about setting the stage for one of fall's grandest traditions across Minnesota. The Star Tribune will be telling you about it in some new ways over the next three months.

In the sports section, we will highlight a "spotlight game'' each week, previewing the teams before the game and giving it more in-depth coverage afterward. We also will be at additional games to provide stories and photos.

We've also redesigned the Minnesota Football Hub, our popular website devoted exclusively to telling the stories of Minnesota high school football. We've made the website www.mnfootballhub.com easier to use to find more scores, rosters full of statistics, game stories, rankings, features, photos and video. New this year, we've also optimized the site for users on mobile devices.

Thousands of you already have made the Football Hub your online destination for features, results, statistics and other high school football goodness. Thank you for that commitment.

Online or in print, we want to remain your No. 1 source of information on the teams, players and games you love.
