Arlington, Germantown, Bolton, Central and Covington have released their 2013 football schedules.

Germantown opens up with a tough 5 game stretch to start the season. Millington, CBHS, rivalry game with Collierville, Briarcrest and another rivalry game with Houston.

Bolton hopes to build upon making the playoffs this past year but it won't be easy. 4 of their last 5 are against Arlington, Brighton, Covington and Millington-all playoff teams from a year ago.

Central has their own tough stretch starting with week 2. Mitchell, Melrose, Whitehaven, East, Manassas and Hamilton. 4 of those 6 made the playoffs plus they end the year with White Station.

The 4A state runner up Chargers open up the season with one of their county rivals Munford. Back to back games with Jackson Northside and the other county rival, Brighton loom in weeks 2 and 3 as well as a rematch of the semifinal game from a year ago with Liberty week 6.

"Voice of the Dragons" retires

Anyone who has been in Collierville on a Friday night in the fall has no trouble recognizing that familiar voice going out across Herman Osteen Field. As anyone that has spent any time watching Collierville football you know at some point an opposing player will be “Stopped, Popped, and Dropped” by one your favorite Dragon players.

For the past eighteen years that saying and several others have come across the PA system courtesy of the Dragons play by play announcer Ted Reilly. Reilly who moved his family to Collierville in 1985 started working with the football team as the clock operator in 1990. He was then volunteered by his daughter Colleen, a CHS cheerleader, to announce Collierville varsity basketball games in 1993.
